What happened to Norwich Union Share-Dealing?

finisterre

Ten or so years ago, I had a a nominee share-dealing account with Norwich Union. I can't recall whether it is open or closed, and if it's open, what it may hold.

I asked Aviva what had happened to their old NU share-dealing arm, but, staggeringly, they were unable to tell me!

Thanks.

According to the Telegraph in 2003, NU shut its Fund Supermarket service and investors either had to transfer or had their holding sold for them

Thanks. Although this wasn't a fund. Just a bog standard share dealing account. I don't remember ever hearing the term 'Fund Supermarket' in relation to it, just 'Norwich Union Share-Dealing' IIRC.
