Our experience
We’re not like any other platform provider and never have been
Our ambition to create a platform with a difference, putting the customer centre stage meant tearing up the rule book and starting from scratch. We’ve come a long way since then, but our mission remains just as focused. That’s why our culture, values, and social responsibility are things we take very seriously indeed. Find out more below.
Inclusion and diversity
At Nucleus, we’re trying to change financial services for the better.
Part of this is ensuring that we have the best people and teams working with us to create better outcomes for financial advisers and their clients. We also owe it to ourselves and the industry to ensure we are playing our part in creating a fair, balanced and transparent financial services sector.
More diversity correlates to broader experience, a diverse set of perspectives and a better collective ability to problem-solve. It means being more representative of customer groups, which supports areas such as product development.
It’s not a tick box exercise; inclusion and diversity is embedded in our culture and everything we do.
Charity
Raising money for our charity partners allows us to give something back while instilling a sense of pride in ourselves and what we can achieve as a team.
Each year we come together as a company to pick our charity partners for the year and think of new fundraising ideas. Whether it’s trekking across mountains, jumping out of planes or baking cakes, we give it our all.
For a small company, we’ve raised some pretty hefty amounts over the years and this means each year our targets (and challenges) get bigger and bigger.
