In his latest column for Money Marketing, David Ferguson draws parallels between the wealth management industry's outdated infrastructure and the rapid technological advancements we've seen elsewhere. Just as the Nokia 3310 gave way to the iPhone, he predicts we're approaching a tipping point in financial services and the next wave of innovation could radically transform the way financial planning is delivered.

The embedded investment platform
About us
Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform that’s helping more people to invest – and invest well. Our sector is being held back by old tech, dismal processes and misaligned interests. Together they create pointless complexity for financial planning and investment professionals, and provide outdated, overpriced experiences for customers. We started afresh, with a low-cost, hyper-efficient and (genuinely) API-first technology infrastructure, which supports firms at the forefront of our changing industry. Working around a principle of collaborative innovation, our technology and operations power the investment platforms of some of the UK’s most forward-thinking financial planning and wealth management firms, including P1 and Radiant. They also help ambitious, fast-growth technology businesses – such as GoHenry, Penfold and Crowdcube – to launch and maintain their investment propositions more quickly and affordably than ever before. A regulated custodian and ISA/SIPP provider, we have the disruptive mindset and ambitious mission to shake things up, along with the commitment and substance to not screw them up. We’re proud to be part of Octopus, the £12.5 billion group that's on a mission to breathe new life into broken industries, through companies like Octopus Energy, Octopus Investments and Octopus Ventures.

At the recent launch of our ‘Gradually, then suddenly’ paper, Tara Saran Mullen , Director at Kraken, the technology arm of Octopus Energy, shared compelling insights on disruption across different sectors. From Tesla’s groundbreaking automotive innovations to Kraken’s transformative technology, which helped propel Octopus Energy from 500,000 to 7 million customers. She shows that you can challenge conventional wisdom and disrupt even the most established sectors. And all with products and services that consumers haven’t yet imagined (often at a pace that surprises even the experts). It's a must-watch presentation— catch the full video here https://hubs.ly/Q02SwxRr0 and download the paper here https://lnkd.in/eMVE4bwc

Another month done and dusted, and the momentum just keeps building... Our assets have increased 122% year-on-year, and we’ve seen a 129% increase in our net inflows, too. We’ve processed 95% more transactions than we did in September 2023, with each member of our ops team handling 258,000 so far this year, and counting! While our tech’s been working just as hard on behalf of 194,000 investors (it’s received over 390 million API calls this year to date). And we’re not just looking back, were also looking ahead – you can find out our key predictions for the future of wealth management in our Gradually, then suddenly paper, available now. https://hubs.ly/Q02RQDnq0

We’ve talked a lot recently about wealth management being on the brink of a technological tipping point. You may have even downloaded our paper on the subject. Last week we held an event to explore this topic in more depth. It featured some standout speakers – including Tara Saran Mullen, director of Kraken (the tech arm of Octopus Energy); Doug Abbott head of UK client group at Vanguard; Ruth Handcock, CEO of Octopus Money and Tom Lloyd, PhD, Strategic Adviser at Accenture. Together, they provided a wealth of valuable insight to help you navigate this period of transformation. And luckily, we filmed it. So, if you want to hear their thoughts and get the full, digital, on-demand experience, head over to our event page where you can also download the paper https://hubs.ly/Q02Rfdyf0

We’re in an industry where innovation is traditionally slow and disruption difficult. At Seccl, we wanted to do things differently. So, to be shortlisted in tonight's Schroders UK Platform Awards for innovation means a lot (alongside our friends P1 Investment Services and Timeline!) We’re shortlisted in the Best Strategic Platform Partner category, too. A big thank you to all the Secclers who make this possible, every day. Best of luck to all the nominees and we'll see you there! #SUKPA

The fundamentals of our sector are about to be transformed. "You would say that", you might think. "In fact, you’ve been saying it for a while. Why should we believe you now?" Well, change has a habit of creeping up on us. As Hemingway’s character responded when asked how he went bankrupt: ‘Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.’ That’s the case we put forward in our new paper. In it, we set out our key predictions for this new era – and explore what it might mean for you. As with all predictions, we’re bound to be wrong about plenty. But about one thing we’re pretty sure. Things are going to look very, very different quite soon... Take a read – we'd love to know what you think! https://lnkd.in/eMVE4bwc (Featuring... David Ferguson and Adam Jones from Seccl, Ruth Handcock from Octopus Money, Abraham Okusanya from Timeline, Gareth Thompson from Plannr Technologies Limited, Nick Raine from Söderberg & Partners – and statistics from the lang cat, Origo, NextWealth, Accenture, Deloitte and KPMG).

"I've worked in two sectors that have been disrupted. Both thought they weren't going to be. It always comes..." Salient words from Tara Mullen of Kraken, the technology arm of Octopus Energy, to round off this evening's launch event for our new paper, 'Gradually, then suddenly.' Just as the energy, automotive and retail banking sectors have seen their fair share of technology-driven disruption over the last decade, we think wealth management is on the cusp of enormous change. That's the argument we make in the paper – and the premise we've been exploring at tonight's event. A huge thanks to Accenture for hosting us, and to all of our fabulous speakers and contributors – Ruth Handcock from Octopus Money, Robyn Laidlaw and Douglas Abbott from Vanguard | UK & Europe and Accenture's very own Tom Lloyd, PhD. (Not forgetting David Ferguson and Adam Jones!) Change is happening...the tipping point has passed!
