Advisory Portfolios – What are advisers saying?

The landscape is always changing…

‘Thank **** you’re managing my advisory portfolios now’

Sussex IFA

That quote came from the founder of a Sussex based IFA business. We asked how they were coping with the challenges of volatile markets, persistently higher inflation and the tougher regulatory landscape. He went on to say ‘If I was running advisory portfolios still, it would be taking all of my time’

If you successfully run advisory portfolios, you have a lot to deal with at the moment, including…

Increasingly volatile markets: a rapidly-changing investment landscape has made it harder than ever to build resilient portfolios.

Persistently higher inflation: even if inflation subsides in 2023, it’s still difficult to adapt client portfolios to the lower growth/higher inflation environment.

The Consumer Duty landscape: FCA requirements place the burden squarely on advisers to deliver “good outcomes” for their clients.
