· Time4Advice's next generation CURO software is currently live for beta testing with an adviser firm, and the planned roll out to adviser firms will commence in the second half of FY23.
Alex Scott, IHP Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am pleased to report another quarter of solid growth for the Transact platform, maintaining the momentum seen during FY22.
Whilst the economic landscape continues to be affected by higher inflation and economic uncertainty, the advised market remains robust, with clients continuing to seek financial advice to implement their financial plans and to mitigate the prevailing economic risks.
Net inflows to the Transact platform for this quarter of £0.7bn were resilient, particularly in light of the economic environment, and were in line with the fourth quarter of FY22. Outflows for this quarter remained broadly in line with previous quarters, showing that our clients and their financial advisers continue to use the platform to support their long term financial plans.
The Transact platform continues to demonstrate growth with new financial advisers joining the platform and client numbers increasing by over 2.2k during the quarter. This provides a solid pipeline for ongoing growth in FUD.
Overall, our business is performing well and we are continuing to execute on our strategy. We remain on schedule to commence the roll out of the next generation CURO software during the second half of FY23. We are resolutely focused on delivering the highest quality customer service which, together with our proprietary platform technology, should position us well for ongoing growth.''
