Nick Raine, chief executive of Söderberg & Partners’ UK business, said: “ We want to reduce the administrative burden on advice firms so they can concentrate on helping their clients and save money. With this launch, we are looking to our Nordic roots for inspiration, and to learn lessons about how we can improve adviser-to-administrator ratios to make advice more efficient. Our overall aim is to reduce the cost of advice and support advisers to deliver better service to end clients.
“First-class technology solutions have been key to the success of Söderberg & Partners in Sweden and we are delighted to now be able to bring this approach to the UK with the launch of our market-leading platform proposition.
“Seccl and our other soon-to-be-announced partners will form the foundation of our legacy-free platform, powered by modern technology, and we will continue investing in technology in the months and years to come.”
David Ferguson, chief executive of Seccl, added: “As a leading investment manager in the Nordics, with £60bn of assets under management, it’s incredibly exciting to have Söderberg & Partners enter the UK market. They’re as passionate as we are about bringing true efficiency and connectivity to advice firms, and have a clear ambition to bring change to the industry by doing things better.”
