This white paper in partnership with Wesleyan investigates smoothed funds and their relevance in today’s uncertain times.

The report looks into whether a new generation of smoothed funds can help advisers to manage volatility for clients and comply with industry regulation.

It includes insight collated from a poll of over 150 advisers, as well as a roundtable discussion held with leading industry figures, exploring what advisers think of smoothed funds and how they are using them today in their client portfolios.

The report is free to download thanks to the generosity of Wesleyan.

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.
