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 […]

PLATFORMS THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
If it was a human, the platform sector would be studying for its A levels (or Highers, if it lived in Scotland).
