Premier Miton and Carmignac latest of thirteen firms to join Fintel's managed distribution service during 2021

Fintel (AIM: FNTL), the UK’s leading fintech and support services business, has announced that Premier Milton and Carmignac have joined a growing number of firms committed to multi-year agreements for its managed distribution service, launched earlier this year.

This announcement follows news earlier this month of a first-of-its-kind partnership with Aviva and Aviva Investors, and deals with leading brands including Fidelity, Just, Guardian, Schroders and Tatton throughout 2021.

Introduced in early 2021, Fintel’s managed distribution service is a subscription-based service that includes research, data, product design and distribution services. Using segmental and behavioural insights, product providers are able to develop tailored propositions, distributing them via targeted data sets and intermediary firms.

Delivered by SimplyBiz & Defaqto, businesses that sit within Fintel, the solution is designed to enhance the services provided to Intermediary Member Firms. The multi-year partnerships will align product providers’ outreach to intermediaries’ business models, ensuring consumers receive products better aligned to their needs.

SimplyBiz has also announced that Carmignac’s new range of model portfolios, as well as nine of Premier Miton’s risk-adjusted funds, will join its range of Risk Controlled investment solutions, further embedding the partnerships.

 

Matt Timmins, Joint CEO of Fintel, commented:

“As a market connector, Fintel exists to help the market operate more effectively. Bringing together product providers, intermediaries and consumers, we simplify the complexity of the retail financial services market, ultimately achieving better outcomes for all.

“I believe that the most successful way to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the market is through collaborative solutions such as our managed distribution service and I am delighted that so many renowned and respected names have further strengthened our relationships by choosing to work with us in this way. To have two more industry-leading investment houses, Carmignac and Premier Miton, on board, builds on the success of our managed distribution service to date and it’s a really positive end to 2021.   I look forward to seeing the benefits for all involved over the coming  year.’’

"We are trying to complete a connected platform for the intermediary market, giving advisers everything they need to do their job. A big part of that has been internal development and acquiring the talent, systems and capabilities through acquisition (...).

That combination of delivering what we said we would do in the market financially, putting our capital to work and acquiring great businesses has resulted in a really good period for us."

Matt Timmins, Joint CEO

“Our new distribution agreement with Mortgage Brain will enable our members to access Mortgage Brain’s leading mortgage sourcing and submission software as part of our integrated platform. 

Our investment in Mortgage Brain will provide a significant cash injection to continue Mortgage Brain’s product transformation, bringing its solutions to the cutting edge of the industry and providing even greater efficiency to its customers, including Fintel’s members.”

“There’s no other solution like ifaDASH currently available, and there’s a clear and genuine gap for it in the sector. The increased visibility and transparency ifaDASH offers to a heavily regulated market will prove immensely valuable for advisers, particularly since the implementation of the Consumer Duty. 

Offering advisers more streamlined efficiency and less admin and risk aligns perfectly with our objectives to deliver better financial outcomes to more consumers, and we’re excited about ifaDASH’s next steps as part of Fintel.”
