Cash Management
Cash management can be essential for meeting individual suitability at any stage of a client’s journey. But it’s particularly relevant for your retirement proposition, where clients will be most reliant on income. As part of our commitment to choice and flexibility, we’ve introduced more options to ring-fence your clients’ cash on an account-by-account basis, in the way most appropriate for them.
Cover fees and charges by setting aside cash, rather than including it in a model portfolio
Allocate income payments and protect from rebalances
Or you can still use a model portfolio to automatically top up a cash account
What advisers say
Watch: Financial planners Advanta Wealth on managing client cash during the Covid-19 pandemic
with Craig Webster, Chief Executive and Iain Valentine, Financial Planner.
Did the coronavirus crisis prompt you to adapt how you manage cash for clients – perhaps holding extra cash or rebalancing more often - or are you staying the course?
We had a video chat with financial planners, Advanta Wealth, about why flexible cash management has become all the more important for them in 2020 – whether it’s to phase a large sum into markets or help ease clients' nervousness about their finances during this challenging time.
Jason Hemmings, Cornerstone Asset Management
Jason Hemmings from Cornerstone Asset Management tells us why advisers should play an active role helping clients who want to hold cash separately outside a model portfolio. He explains how the Platform's ring-fencing functionality enables this, without the need to create a second wrap account.
“Good cash management is particularly important if you want to run a compelling retirement offering.”
Brett Baker, Premier Financial Management
Brett Baker from Premier Financial Management explains how he manages cash for clients who are taking income and why ring-fencing cash may be needed as an ‘extra buffer’ in the current dividend crisis.
"Ring-fencing cash ensures that automated sell down won’t happen and also reduces administration."
