The Top Class Wednesday Update is on the edge

Hello again, welcome to your autumn but go easy on the heating. I have a couple of announcements this week, but the main one is that the Update is now denominated in dollars and so will cost you just a little more each month, but that’s a small price to pay for growth, amirite? Almost […]

The Top Class Wednesday Update is crocked

I keep telling you June is the month that keeps on giving. And what it’s given me now is a crocked Achilles tendon and gracious, doesn’t that just smart. Obviously, in common with all men, my ability to withstand pain without whining is unparalleled but even so: michty. Jings and crivvens and perhaps even help […]

Happy December everyone, a couple of deep breaths and it’ll soon be time to have a break and wave goodbye to another pretty minging year. In the meantime, though, we have new Stuff to think about and play with! This doesn’t happen so often these days; I remember a time not all that long ago […]

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.
