Schroders UK Platform Awards 2025: Entries are now open!

Professional Adviser, the event’s media partner, is delighted to announce the opening for entries of the 2025 Schroders UK Platform Awards.

London Hilton on Park Lane, where we will celebrate the very best of platforms and technology in retail investment and financial planning.

Submissions for the awards are now welcomed from platforms, tech companies and advisers. Here is the link: https://schrodersukplatformawards.awardstage.com/

The wonderful Kate Silverton will host the event for the 16th year running.

There is so much new happening in the platform sector, platforms running on their own new, tech and adviser platforms whilst traditional platforms upgrade their technology and their propositions to meet new challenges.

On top of this, the adviser faces difficult decisions on whether to go for a ‘good' one-stop shop or opt for the very best on offer for each microservice, hoping that integration will be as promised.

We continue to see disruption in the adviser arena. Consolidators continue to consolidate, asset managers, platforms and discretionary managers continue to acquire distribution. We know that the regulator is a touch concerned that the consumer may not always benefit – much to look forward to.

The role of the Schroders UK Platform Awards is to keep up with these trends and identify which platforms, tech providers and advisers provide the best products and services and value to their clients.

The aim of the Schroders UK Platform Awards is to identify the very best in each category, to the extent that advisers will include the winners in their short list and give them serious consideration when purchasing tech.

These awards are made as a result of adviser voting or on the decisions of expert judging panels, independently chaired by Keith Richards, CEO of the Consumer Duty Alliance.

Adviser Voting

As you will see from the awards categories criteria, four of our awards are decided by the votes of financial advisers. The categories are:

  • Best platform provider (AUM over £40bn)
  • Best platform provider (AUM up to £40bn)
  • The best platform service award
  • Leading investment research, ratings, and data provider

Voting will close on 26 July.

Good luck with your entries and we look forward to seeing you on 23 September.
