Due Diligence - Platforms

AndyRichards

Hi All,

Unfortunately I can't find much definitive guidance from the FCA on what good due diligence constitutes for platform research.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good template/process that is easy to follow for centralised platform due diligence. I seem to remember Brooks Macdonald had a similar sort of thing for DFM due diligence.

Thanks!

Has The Lang Cat got anything?

Aha, we did this at the last Scotland Powwow. https://paraplannerspowwow.co.uk/cashflow-due-diligence-at-powwow-north-of-the-border/

The Brooks pack is pretty good. We use Lang Cat information as one of our key sources of detail.

We've used Adviser Asset to create our initial sift list this year.

I'm currently in the middle of my shortlist of BDMs coming in with their proposition to chat through.

Do you happen to have any notes from the Scotland Powwow (or was it recorded?)
