We’ll delve into real-world experiences, with Edentree Investment Management’s Phil Baker and Clare Setchfield sharing their ongoing challenges. We’re delighted to welcome David Moffat, Executive Chair of the recently formed Platforms Association, who will offer his perspective on tackling crucial data challenges between asset managers and platform distributors. Crucially, we’re grateful for the continued support of our regulator, with the FCA’s Michelle Dodd and Finlay Beresford also joining the discussion.
