D2C Platforms – the lang cat heatmaps

If you’ve come to this page looking for the latest lang cat D2C pricing tables, then you’ve hit an extraordinary stroke of luck. (Or just followed a link sent by us. Whatever)

Attached below are 2 files showing the most up to date lang cat #heatmaps for D2C investment, one for ISA and one for SIPP. Both show the annual cost of investing, displayed in both percentages and pounds. As with any set of data, some house rules apply so it’s well worth having a quick read of the assumptions we make;

  • We look at ongoing core platform and wrapper costs. We don’t add in any initial costs. These are few and far between and quite frankly are finicky to amortise (posh, convert) to an annual, ongoing basis.
  • We assume investment in funds. Tables looking at equity investment are available on request.
  • We assume the cost of making 5 full switches throughout the year, equating to 5 buy and 5 sell transactions.
  • There are a few special offers on the go at the moment – namely for the upcoming ISA season. We include these along with a note of the terms.

The tables will be updated on a regular basis, typically whenever a provider makes a change to its pricing model or if we make a change to our assumptions.

If you’re a journalist, and would like to use these tables, then please do get in touch typically via either Mark Locke (07718424711) or Steve Nelson (07429404356) for comment or further content.

The Impact of Poor Service

We provided the research for a report, in conjunction with Parmenion, which reveals how far short of expectations many adviser platforms are falling. The research found that over the last 12 months, 88% of advisers needed to apologise to at least one of their clients on behalf of a platform, and that poor service delivery from platforms impacts 91% of advisers every day.

Answering the Call

Service means a lot of things to a lot of different people. It’s so subjective it can be hard to put your finger on. This paper aims to challenge the status quo and inertia that’s built up in the sector for many years.
