The Top Class Wednesday Update is going against Mum’s advice

Hi gang, Rich Mayor here to talk about the third quarter a bit. We’re tantalisingly close to being able to talk about everything about platforms’ numbers last quarter, but we’re still embargoed until Thursday when it will be unleashed upon an unsuspecting public (that’ll be you).

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.
