Schroders UK Platform Awards
This year, the Schroders UK Platform Awards dinner will be held on 23 September at the London Hilton on Park Lane. Once again, we will celebrate the very best of platforms and technology in retail investment and financial planning.
The wonderful Kate Silverton will host the event for the 16th year running.
There is so much new happening in the platform sector, platforms running on their own new, tech and advisers platforms whilst traditional platforms upgrade their technology and their propositions.
On top of this, the adviser faces difficult decisions on whether to go for a ‘good’ one-stop shop or opt for the very best on offer for each microservice, hoping that integration will be as promised.
We continue to see disruption in the adviser arena. Consolidators continue to consolidate, asset managers, platforms and discretionary managers continue to acquire distribution. We know that the regulator is a touch concerned that the consumer may not always benefit – much to look forward to.
The role of the Schroders UK Platform Awards is to keep up with these trends and identify which platforms, tech providers and advisers provide the best products and services and value to their clients.
The aim of the Schroders UK Platform Awards is to identify the very best in each category, to the extent that advisers will include the winners in their short list and give them serious consideration.
Good luck with your entries and we look forward to seeing you on September 23.
