Key areas of focus
During the past 12 months, our MPS range, for which I am lead manager, has continued to earn industry recognition for performance and service quality. This includes a Defaqto five-star rating and their gold rating for service. I have also helped grow our MPS assets.
A key driver of this success has been the implementation of a rigorous, consistent and clearly defined investment process.
As part of our growth, I have supported advisers with the design and launch of a series of white-labelled portfolios.
High-quality communications for advisers and their clients are a high priority. We produce weekly podcasts and market updates, Chart of the Week insights and videos. We also produce an in-depth quarterly MPS review and outlook document.
Our communications are designed to deepen advisers' understanding, keep them fully informed and provide transparency around performance and portfolio activity.
Beyond portfolio management, I have worked with fund managers to enhance transparency, reporting standards and investor outcomes. Additionally, I have engaged with platforms to enhance functionality and service standards.
Managing our analyst team, my focus is on strengthening our talent pipeline and shaping an inclusive, high‑performance culture.
