Regional Payroll Lead, Abrdn

Nowadays, atop its investment and advice services, the company delivers two platforms for financial advisers. The first, Wrap, enables users to build and manage portfolios for each client. It also includes SIPP drawdown capabilities - which means advisers can choose the best platform charges when client assets are at their highest. The second, Elevate, encompasses a suite of tools for advisers to save time and make sure their clients are informed.

Recently, Abrdn announced "adviserOS" which represents an upgrade to their platform offerings. There is limited information to go on, but the company claims this new venture will be more simple and data-led, as well as require less admin. It will be interesting to see if this new release keeps pace with tech developments across the investment space, and allows abrdn to continue as an innovator.
