Welcome to
Advance Platform
Providing modern technology for forward-thinking advisers, wealth managers and financial planners.
THE TECHNOLOGY
The Advance platform enhances your proposition by providing a cost-effective solution, offering a wider choice of investments and automating key processes.
The Advance platform was developed by a group of highly-experienced financial services industry professionals – including stockbroking and clearing service CEOs, advisers, clearing and settlement system authors, and the COO of a large back-office offering.
Collectively, they could see a gap in the platform market for something which did everything advisers want from their system. The Advance platform’s key features enabling competitive advantage are as follows:
CLIENTS
The IFA wholly owns and controls the client relationship. All client correspondence is generated in electronic form, fully branded
WEB TECHNOLOGY
IFA-branded, digital portal accessed by the IFA and clients; mobile-friendly and responsive. Campaign Manager to automate model rebalancing/switches and client communications
MULTI-COMPANY
Multiple business lines/branches/entities on a single platform; consolidated group view. Configure different branding and ‘buy list’ for each company; users are tied to a company
SELF-SERVICE
The IFA has direct control to fully service every client through the Adviser Portal. The helpdesk is available to contact (phone, email) for any queries
WRAPPERS
Multiple product wrappers are available: GIA, ISA, Junior ISA, SIPP, Offshore Bond. Multiple sub-accounts can be opened online within a GIA and ISA
INVESTIBLE ASSETS
Wide range of UK and European third-party funds. Global universe of listed assets (equities, ETFs, ITs) and fractional ETF trading
CUSTODY AND CASS
All client assets (funds, equities, ETFs …) registered in a single nominee. Nominee is fully responsible for FCA CASS client money administration and reconciliations
BUYING POWER
The platform employs an algorithm to automatically calculate the amount of actual client cash to be reserved to cover future Adviser and Platform fees due.
THE ADVANCE PLATFORM IS POWERED BY HUBWISE TECHNOLOGY.
