Ascentric to sponsor IFP
Thursday, 29 May 2008
Ascentric, the Independent Wrap Provider has become a corporate sponsor of the Institute of Financial Planning (IFP) as a further commitment to supporting Financial Planners, the backbone to the financial services sector.
Through its sponsorship, Ascentric hopes to help promote the Institute, its aims and gain valuable feedback of IFP members to help shape the future of wrap services for the industry going forward.
As a 'Whole of Market' wrap service exclusively for IFAs and Financial Planners, Ascentric believes Financial Planner participation and their ability to meet client needs is crucial.
Michael Fordham, Ascentric's Business Development Director said that; "Ascentric has already been an active supporter of the IFP and share a common purpose in their support of Financial Planners, their individual development, and the evolution of supporting technology and services. By aligning ourselves with the IFP, including sponsorship of Regional and National Conferences, we now want to help promote the IFP and its aims further.
"Financial Planning firms that brand a wrap and link the service to their own website, not only assist the promotion of their own brand, but also enhance their service offering by giving their clients access to online valuations and portfolio information."
The Ascentric Wrap offers a fully integrated online consolidation and dealing platform providing IFAs with the facilities necessary to transfer, view and control all their clients' assets in just one place for more effective management of their financial affairs.
Nick Cann, Chief Executive Officer of the IFP comments "The integration of wrap technology into the business has become a "must have" for professional Financial Planners aiming to provide a high quality and totally client-centric service. We are really pleased that Ascentric have become sponsors, and we look forward to working with them to further develop the rapidly growing Financial Planning profession here in the UK."
