We are delighted to announce that FE has taken home two highly-prized awards at this year’s Aberdeen Platform Awards, as well as being highly-commended for two others.

FE Analytics stole the show - bagging the ‘Leading Independent Planning Tool Provider’ for the fourth year in a row. The award is given to the tool that has been voted as the best in this space by the adviser community.

FE Analytics and Zurich Intermediary Platform's joint entry also won the ‘Leading Integrated Planning Tool Provider’ category.

The award is given to the tool that is a ‘step forward and really useful to advisers, and shows clients exactly what their experience of investment returns has been on a time and money weighted basis’ – with one judge on the panel stating: “I think this sets a new benchmark.”

We entered this award with Zurich’s platform team to highlight our work developing a market-leading transactional reporting capability, delivered through FE Analytics. This solution is designed to show investment returns on a time and money weight basis.

Mika-John Southworth, FE Director said: "FE is delighted with this highly-prized award as it is testament to our ability to work with our customers in developing market-leading technology which helps meet the industry’s needs."

Trustnet Direct was highly commended in the ‘Leading Innovation in Consumer Platforms (for the novice investor)’, while also coming second in the ‘Leading Innovation in Consumer platforms (for experienced investor’.

The judges noted that the ‘runner-up is low cost with a huge range of funds (for both experienced and novice investors) and was only fractionally behind the winner in the judges scoring.
