Driving growth and efficiency
Three years on from our Listing and after transforming the business into a simpler, modern, full-service wealth manager, we have strong foundations on which to build the next phase of our strategy. This can be captured in the phrase ‘Growth and Efficiency’.
Focused growth with our clients and advisers
Aligning our expertise and resources around our advisers and two client segments will enable us to increase flows from our main distribution channels.
Enhancing operational efficiency
With the sale of Quilter International and subsequent reorganisation of the business, we are ready to drive a second phase of cost savings through our Simplification programme.
Embracing digitalisation
We are enhancing and modernising our digital service experience to engage with the clients of today and tomorrow.
Embedding ESG in all we do
By acting and investing responsibly, we will have a positive impact on customers, colleagues, communities and the environment, and become the UK’s responsible wealth manager.
