SEVEN YEARS, NO ITCH
Hello, first post from me for a while. It’s self-indulgent, but it’s short. I only have 45 minutes to write this, and it’s important (to me, anyway) that I publish it before the fire dies and the clock ticks over to tomorrow morning. It’s seven years ago to the day that I left corporate life […]
WHAT NO LISA?
The lang cat’s Platform Market Scorecard was released to subscribers last week. You can read more about it here, but we want to take you through a couple of findings from this quarter’s smorgasbord. In each quarter, we take a detailed look at one area of platform propositions. This quarter, because it’s so topical, we’re […]

Groundhog Day (but with less rodents and more platforms)
Another day, another FCA paper, this time the snappily titled Investment Platforms Market Study Terms of Reference (MS17/1.1 to its mates). We’d heard talk of a deluge of regulation arriving once the FCA emerged from purdah and, since 21 June when the DB transfer consultation was published, we’ve now been treated to almost 500 pages […]

The FCA’s difficult second album
When the first release is so good there is always a danger it will be difficult to maintain momentum and replicate the raw excitement second time around. The FCA’s Interim Asset Management Market Report, released last year, on a cold November Friday morning (with far less fanfare than today’s publication) was an incredible read – […]

A WORD TO THE (HUB)WISE
It’s been ages since I’ve written a pricing blog. It’s also been a decent chunk of time since we’ve seen a new entrant to the advised platform market. A glorious piece of serendipity then to see that Hubwise has (re)launched[1] its advised proposition and given me reason to get the Casio out. Those who monitor […]

IS IT ME OR IS IT GETTING HOT IN HERE? SCALABLE CAPITAL & INVESTEC’S BIG DAY
Well, after a period in which all the talk was of funding moving away from robo-advice to ‘insurtech’ and ‘regtech’ and other things ending in ‘tech’ that neither you nor I understand, BlackRock and Scalable Capital have come from nowhere and given us all plenty to talk about. (Before I crack in, a bit of […]
