THE DAY

After a very happy couple of years at the National Museum of Scotland it feels like it’s time to try something still more different, and the result is Home Game 4.

Our event isn’t just about sitting in an auditorium and listening this time. For a start, it bridges the afternoon and evening; our keynote speaker at the end will gaze jealously out at the delegates who’ll have a glass in their hand.

First, a word about the venue. Patina is the little sister to Kings Place (where we held our London event in February) and champions the same ideals of community and sustainability. The crockery you’ll eat and drink from is made by the owner’s pottery in Northumberland. The bread is baked onsite (and is beyond delicious).

The venue itself has won awards for sustainability and is at the heart of a regenerative project for the Gyle in Edinburgh. It’s a beautiful place to host an event, and we can’t wait to show it to you. ​

We have two key areas – both stunning – with a small wander between them regularly to get folk out their seat and the blood flowing again. Regular sustenance will keep people going. And the evening will be a complete change of mood and one to remember, with live music and more.

​But some things won’t change – the event will attract the best financial planning and advice firms from Scotland and beyond (we have a big travelling contingent!). The agenda will be stuffed with properly interesting content and no, repeat no, veiled sales pitches. Streamers at home will also get a great experience.

We’re starting a bit later this year, so lunch is available for those who want to mingle beforehand, and there’s a buffet dinner later on followed by the evening entertainment. You can indicate on your ticket application whether you’ll be joining us for these.

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.
