A review of the different approaches taken by platforms to showing charges

Learning objectives

In this session we covered…

  • The key points from the lang cat research of what the main platforms are doing – which you can read here (and we really recommend you read it before the Howwow)
  • Discuss the level of control for adviser/paraplanner to determine when statements are run and sent
  • What content is in them and how is it presented (we’ll be looking at some real examples)
  • What happens if a client has assets on different platforms
  • Impact on client relationships
  • What the press are likely to say about it
