Why platforms are so complicated
If you listen very closely you can hear the faint gnashing of teeth in various large office buildings round the country. It’s said sometimes that providers are now run by accountants, not actuaries. But actuaries, like certain water-borne infections, are hard to kill and they’re hard wired into the DNA of these large companies. Why […]

Everyone’s a publisher now
Recently I’ve been reading and working on some client-facing materials (on and offline) for a couple of companies, big and small. Here’s a little cri de coeur from me. Think of it as a little set of guidelines if writing and publishing copy isn’t your stock-in-trade. If you’re going to publish content, behave like a […]

Later on in the CP, our narrator says “We are proposing new rules to ensure that investors who access authorised funds through intermediate unitholders receive […]
