Advisers: Have your say on the platforms industry

Of those surveyed by Investment Adviser’s annual platform survey last year, 23.5 per cent cited technology as the biggest impact on their platform usage, either positively or negatively.

The consequences of the RDR and costs were also each identified by almost 12 per cent of respondents as having an impact on how they used platforms.

So what has been driving platform usage this year?

We are inviting the adviser community to take part in this year’s annual platform survey to contribute to our platforms special report due to be published later this year.

We want your honest views on the industry – so tell us which platform providers top your list.

In 2014, 41 per cent of those who completed the survey noted some of the technology and tools on platforms fell short of helping them cope with further regulatory pressures.

Has this changed or are platforms still lacking in this area?

The Investment Adviser Special Report on Platforms, including the results of the survey, will be published in October.
