THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE HAS A LONG KNIFE YOU CAN BORROW

Most weeks I write the Update on a Tuesday night; the last few have been early Wednesday mornings. This is a Tuesday night one and as I write the entire British political system is convulsing in a highly satisfying manner. This has made it hard to concentrate on financial stuff, but I’ll do what I […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS POSSIBLY TERMINAL

I don’t mean to frighten anyone but I’ve god a gold id by dose and am currently the sickest I’ve ever been like ever and no-one has ever been sicker than me even if they say they have. It’s not easy being a man you know. But don’t worry, I’ve been in touch with the […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS READY FOR YOU NOW

So here we are, siblings. Happy New Year to all; there didn’t seem much point in doing an Update last week as most of you were still off and there’s only so much you can read about the lack of Hogmanay parties before you end up even more depressed than you were before. (Insert Deity […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE HAS NO TASTE

Hello, it’s me back again and thanks to Steve for holding the fort last week while I was riddled with the pox. My confinement is finished, my tests show but one little line and that’s that done with. Except of course it isn’t; as so many others have experienced the fatigue hangover is quite something […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE GETS CURIOUS ABOUT CASH

Eagle-eyed TCWU readers may have spotted that last week we told you normal service would resume today with Mr P firmly back at the helm of the Update. But fear not friends, our dear leader is not MIA, he’s just STILL on holiday. And in the meantime the Update stops for nothing or no one […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE STILL HASN’T GOT OVER IT

A brilliant tournament. A truly fantastic final taken all the way to extra time. And, after a day of incredible tension, the result we all wanted. Can it really be two years to the day since the Cricket World Cup final? Good times never seemed so good. Anyway, a lot has happened since the summer […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS 35 YARDS OUT

So there you are, not much to do really, edging forward towards the centre circle to see if you can get in shot and improve the value of your image rights, when all of a sudden bad things happen, you’re all tangled up in the net and you’re the subject of remorseless memes like this […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE ISN’T WINDING DOWN

So here we are, siblings. Crunch time. In 48 hours we will know what our immediate futures hold. Will it be shame, and regret for what we’ve just done and the dishonour we have brought on ourselves and our forebears? Or will we hold our heads high and forge proudly towards the sunset on Friday […]

The Impact of Poor Service

We provided the research for a report, in conjunction with Parmenion, which reveals how far short of expectations many adviser platforms are falling. The research found that over the last 12 months, 88% of advisers needed to apologise to at least one of their clients on behalf of a platform, and that poor service delivery from platforms impacts 91% of advisers every day.

Answering the Call

Service means a lot of things to a lot of different people. It’s so subjective it can be hard to put your finger on. This paper aims to challenge the status quo and inertia that’s built up in the sector for many years.
