For professional adviser use only

Sandringham can give you the opportunity to do what you do best – give advice.

A raft of new regulations introduced in 2018, including MiFID II, GDPR and PROD have proved to be a challenge for the financial services industry, by increasing the burden of administration on firms, requiring more time to be spent on making sure these are implemented effectively.

A recent survey1 of firms also indicates there are increasing capacity issues for financial advisers, with the average active client numbers per adviser increasing again, up 9% to 163 and two-thirds expect this number to rise in 2019.

All of this has had a major impact on how advisers spend their time, with around a third of respondents to the survey saying they currently spend 40% of their time on administration, a steep increase from only 11 % in 2017.

The common areas of frustration for advisers we have identified are:

  • Mountains of paperwork preventing you from spending quality time providing advice for your clients.
  • Dated technology meaning your processes are slow, data is often inaccurate and client service suffers.
  • Lack of time hampering your personal skills development. Improving your technical and product knowledge never gets to the top of the list.
  • Poor work/life balance – Are inefficiencies in your current business model preventing you from doing the things you love to do?

We have a solution – ‘Sandringham Time’ which we describe as the positive experience our Partners have working with us. It means:

  • More time to think – we aim to remove the time-consuming complexities, inefficiencies and barriers from your providing and arranging advice.
  • More control – state-of-the-art technology enables you to see live information – including your client’s investments – from a single web page, anywhere, 24/7.
  • More time with your clients – our client management systems mean you can be freed up to spend more invaluable time with your clients.
