Q1 2025 developments
A note from Al Ward, Head of Retail Adviser Proposition
"Winning the Professional Adviser 'Best Platform for Advisers' is great recognition of the hard work that goes into running a successful platform. However, we understand the critical importance of continuously enhancing the platform experience by introducing new capabilities, improvements and products that support advice outcomes.
The changes we have already delivered in 2025 span the core elements that make the platform tick. Following the launch of our Junior ISA (with 0% platform fee) in the second half of 2024, we've expanded our product range with the addition of Utmost's Offshore Bond, a highly sought-after solution for delivering tax-efficient plans. Additionally, we have enhanced the adviser experience by making it easier to locate items, along with a new live chat service and improved digital signatures process, and have introduced the initial components of our new client reporting capability.
There is much more to come in 2025 as we continue to evolve our services to meet your needs."
