AdviceTech Catwalk 2025

Following the success of our AdviceTech Catwalk back in 2024, we’re ready to do it all over again this year!

/ The Summary

Here’s how it’s going to work.

We want to give companies who are building exciting kit that advisers and planners might be using in the next few years a chance to show what they’re up to.

These are firms who don’t normally get to stand in the spotlight; they might be pre-revenue or even bootstrapping themselves out of the startup phase. We don’t care about that. What we do care about is that what they’re doing is genuinely different and potentially useful to UK advisers and planners.

We’ve selected five of the most exciting firms and invited them to strut their stuff. An expert panel of industry legends from across the sector will grill each one and there’ll be a chance for the audience to do the same. We’ll also have a couple of discussions and a keynote – all from seriously interesting people.

The five we’ve selected this year are:

  • Etcho: A B2B platform that combines psychology and AI to unearth a client’s individual investor profile and worldview to deliver a personalised  portfolio that matches their investor values and goals. A third-party DFM manages the portfolios to ensure risk return and value alignment are synched.
  • Lyfeguard : A secure platform that helps clients organise, manage and share information from financial accounts and legal documents to personal wishes and life plans. The platform aims to become a place where advisers can source essential client information ensuring clarity and preparedness during major life events.  
  • Otto AI: An AI-powered copilot that automates time consuming tasks like meeting transcriptions, suitability report generation and client communication. It integrates with advisers’ existing workflows to extract insights from meetings, draft compliant reports and generate personalised client emails. 
  • Tikker: Automates portfolio operations on investment platforms. DFMs and consolidators can use a single upload to rebalance portfolios across multiple platforms into a draft state. This includes asset allocation changes, reweighing, digitally enhanced checks and Audit Trail Creation.  
  • WealthSpace: An AI-powered platform that uses data to perform tasks that creates advice capacity for advisers. It produces file notes, email correspondence, review letters, suitability reports and internal FAQ without exposing client data to external AI systems.  

At the end, before one of our legendary afterparties, the audience will get to vote on the Best In Show, and that firm will win an infinitesimally small prize of our choosing, along with bragging rights.

Sound like fun? Here’s how to get involved…

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.
