Nominated by 40.5% of the full market, reaching as high as 60% among businesses with turnover between £20-100m, knowledge of market risk and mitigation is the number 1 attribute UK businesses are looking for from their payments provider when doing business with emerging markets.

We have, in partnership with NextWealth and the The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI), launched a Financial Advice Business Benchmarks report. The Financial Advice Business Benchmarks report is an annual #marketresearch report which can help firms benchmark their own proposition and stature. The report provides measurement or benchmarking areas such as client growth, advice tech, advice charges and trends. Last year's report can be accessed here - https://pimfa.cc/SO5dJ Firms can access the survey for input into this year’s report here - https://pimfa.cc/VZbAk Whilst we appreciate that feeding into this survey takes some time, this can be completed over multiple sittings and represents an excellent opportunity for firms to both feed into a broader picture of industry which we use as part of our ongoing advocacy efforts, as well as provide a firm with a picture of where they are relative to the rest of the market. Please contact Simon Harrington with any queries. #advicetech #advicecharges #benchmarking
