trail commission

Just under a fifth of advisory businesses have managed to transition all their clients to a pure adviser charging model, according to a 1,000-adviser survey.

Provider Aviva's platform is on course to achieve profitability in 2016 and its target of £6bn in assets under management (AUM) by the end of this year, after its AUM has doubled in the last 12 months.

The Association of Professional Financial Advisers (APFA) has warned advisers to keep a "record of activity with any clients they have with Aegon" after it emerged the Dutch provider had contacted clients to switch-off trail commission.

Online support service Panacea Adviser has launched a guide to help firms plan their strategies around the switch-off of trail commission.

Network and support services firm Tenet has asked platforms for clarity on their legacy commission switch-off plans but said it is "confident" advisers are "on top of" the process.
