Objectmastery takes off in UK
Objectmastery’s jaunt into the UK market has paid off for the group with it’s UK wrap account Transact attracting more than $200 million of funds under administration.
Launched in the UK in the middle of last year, the wrap now has almost 400 advisers using the service for more than 2000 of their clients.
ObjectMastery general manager Ian Craig says the number of advisers using Transact continues to grow.
“Independent advisers are hearing about us, trying us and coming back for more,” he says. “Adviser and client numbers are growing rapidly.”
Craig says the service levels provided by Transact are also winning over advisers who have never been used to such dedicated service levels.
“We are giving the advisers and clients a level of service and care they aren’t used to,” he says.
“Advisers in the UK haven’t seen such powerful features and software like this before and are lapping it up.”
Transact offers investors general investments, pensions, individual savings accounts (ISAs) and PEPs with access to all UK-managed funds and all companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.
