UK PLATFORM AWARDS 2020
Schroders UK Platform Awards
Gala Dinner - 22 September 2020
Another year of celebrating excellence in platforms and technology
The Schroders UK Platform Awards dinner will be held on 22 September at the London Hilton on Park Lane. This will be the 14th running of the event making at not only the largest event in the platform calendar, but by far the oldest. The wonderful Kate Silverton will once again host the dinner for the 11th year.
As ever, we shall be supporting a highly deserving charity, Parkinson’s UK
For the past few years, the industry has been experiencing the challenges of systems upgrades, or re-platforming, as the exercise is more commonly described. Hopefully, we can now put that behind us and move forward and deliver more efficiency, accuracy and speed to our clients and their advisers.
The awards recognise change in markets and technology, so in addition to recognising the best intermediary platforms, we also recognise new technology, new innovations and new ways of connecting with the investor, whether via advisers, direct or a combination of both.
Finally, we recognise the significance of ESG issues in both investment and in corporate behaviours and are incorporating a question in all platform and adviser submissions to reflect this.
Do join us on 22 September 2020.
