‘Disruption for advisers’: The outlook for platforms in 2022
By Jessica Tasman-Jones, 7 Jan 22
From M&A to tech integration, investment platform professionals give their views on the year ahead
“The sheer variety of platform acquisitions meant 2021 was another year of big change, which often spells disruption for advisers, and we expect this will make sustainability a bigger priority in 2022.
“When we say ‘sustainability’ we don’t mean ESG – it’s about platform providers not being distracted by short-term success and focusing instead on developing tech, tools and service that have a lasting positive impact and keep disruption to an absolute minimum. A key consideration here is whether the owner is solely focused on the platform or is part of a wider company with many different, often competing, priorities.”
