"We are trying to complete a connected platform for the intermediary market, giving advisers everything they need to do their job. A big part of that has been internal development and acquiring the talent, systems and capabilities through acquisition (...).

That combination of delivering what we said we would do in the market financially, putting our capital to work and acquiring great businesses has resulted in a really good period for us."

“There’s no other solution like ifaDASH currently available, and there’s a clear and genuine gap for it in the sector. The increased visibility and transparency ifaDASH offers to a heavily regulated market will prove immensely valuable for advisers, particularly since the implementation of the Consumer Duty. 

Offering advisers more streamlined efficiency and less admin and risk aligns perfectly with our objectives to deliver better financial outcomes to more consumers, and we’re excited about ifaDASH’s next steps as part of Fintel.”
