'Exciting period of opportunity'
Retirement specialist Just Retirement has partnered with wealth management technology firm GBST to power its new platform for retirement savings to be launched in the coming month.
Alliance Trust Savings (ATS) has signed an agreement with technology firm GBST to provide end-to-end administration of the wrap.
Four platforms are to allow advisers to automatically calculate tax liabilities for clients, following HM Revenue and Customs' decision to tax rebates paid by fund managers.
Retail banks are the most likely driver of consolidation in the platform market, according to a leading back-office provider.
GBST head of UK business Ian Wilkinson is joining technology provider International Financial Data Services (IFDS).
GBST Wealth Management's Robert DeDominicis says consumers' financial illiteracy is the biggest barrier to RDR success.
