Paul Bayliss, Director Adviser Solutions for Pershing, is delighted with the new offering which is clearly impressing leading advice and wealth management firms in the UK, stating that,

“We believe that the professionally managed segment of the market is about to experience a growth acceleration; Financial Simplicity’s technology is best of breed in supporting organisations to provide their clients with superior portfolio servicing to meet the increasing demands and expectations from both clients and regulators.”

Financial Simplicity’s portfolio management technologies have been tightly integrated with Pershing’s execution, asset servicing and custody solutions.

“The team at Pershing Adviser Solutions has developed some of the industry’s best thinking in relation to solutions for the UK market, and we are proud that both Financial Simplicity’s approach and technology closely aligns with this vision,” states Holdsworth.

“Globally, we are seeing very similar trends and themes including FoFA in Australia and regulatory change in Hong Kong, Singapore, India and other countries.”

Financial Simplicity is seeing considerable interest from other UK investment platforms and wealth management groups, keen to leverage their powerful and scalable portfolio management solution to support the industry transformational change required to meet the growing demands of consumers and regulators.
