Thank God that’s over – the lang cat roundup of 2016

No escaping basic arithmetic – all about the ATS price changes
As 2016 breathes its last, we are plagued, sorry, blessed by a mini-flurry (Worst. Flurry. Ever.) of pricing changes from platforms. Last week we had Elevate / SL; this week it’s our Dundonian friends, Alliance Trust Savings. ATS is increasing its fixed fees on both direct and advised business, but offsetting that in part with […]

What’s 0.04% amongst friends? Standard Life hikes Elevate prices; causes eyebrow raising in Leith.
I’ve always liked folk who buck trends. Counter culture is my favourite kind of culture. So you’d think I’d be supportive of Standard Life’s decision to buck the downward trend of platform pricing by increasing Elevate’s charges. And in some ways I am.

We’d love to have accurate figures, but until we do please treat any figures in red as (hopefully) interesting, but no more than that. If you’re interested in […]

Slurp! Aegon eats Cofunds for BREAKFAST
(Journos reading this, any part of it is attributable if you want it.) So before we get into this, I need to tell you that the lang cat has been doing a wee smidge of work here and there on matters pertaining to the acquisition (posh) so if that bothers you, stop reading now. If […]
