Defaqto’s Star Ratings assess the strength of each adviser platform in the UK market.

As Defaqto’s Darren Winfield, Insight Consultant (Wealth) explains, our Adviser Platform Star Rating assessment pays specific attention to elements of the platform deemed core to the support of adviser firms: “This includes ISA, and pension wrapper availability, the provision of both CGT reporting and flexi-access drawdown.”

He adds that 5 Star rated adviser platforms are those that exhibit high levels of quality, while satisfying all the core rating requirements: “We also assess the functions and technology involved in client reporting, and the functionality that supports specific intermediary propositions, such as the ability to build adviser models.”
