Assets under administration at Nucleus have gone up by 27 per cent over the past year, as advisers are moving more clients onto the platform, the chief executive has said.
David Ferguson, Nucleus chief executive, said: “Our full-year results represent further solid financial progress.
“Having been derided by legacy players for not having deep enough pockets, it is now moderately pleasurable to feel them getting a little heavier every month.
“Our collaboration with forward-looking advisers is gaining ever-more traction, and shows what can be achieved by a small team that always puts the customer centre stage.”
At the end of December, the wrap platform had assets under administration of £8bn compared to £6.3bn at the end of the previous year.
Inflows for the full year totalled £1.9bn, up 12 per cent from the previous year.
