So it’s with much pride (and a chunk of awe) that I can say Nucleus has been named Platform of the Year 2018 at the Schroders UK Platform Awards.

Really pleased, not least because this is the third year in a row the judges have seen fit to give us this award.

Huge thanks to the brilliant bunch of people at team Nucleus, who make this company what it is. Massive gratitude too to all the advisers and financial planners that have been on this journey with us – we literally couldn’t do what we do without your support.

When an Isa account holder dies, it’s possible for their spouse or civil partner to inherit an additional Isa subscription, as long as they were living together at the time of death.

So, the dust has settled and we’ve just about recovered from celebrating but we’re all still on a high after winning three awards at the UK Platform Awards 2016!

2016 has been a pretty big year so far, marking our 10th birthday and also hitting £10 billion in assets on the platform, but we’re incredibly pleased to announce we have been named Platform of the Year and also scooped awards for Best Innovation and Best Investment Management Platform Proposition.

Hello and welcome to our new website. If I recall correctly this is the fourth major relaunch since we started our journey ten years ago and I hope you'll agree it's the best yet. Whether you are looking for more information on our business, our product or our amazing people you should be able to find it without any hassle.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about working with advice firms, it’s that they really care about making sure their clients achieve the most they can from their own finances.  But because the focus is on that, some firms may not always have the time or capacity to put their own finances at the top of their priority list.

I’m not for a second suggesting it’s commonplace to find reckless abandonment of any fiscal sense.  Or that clients shouldn’t be the priority.  But I often see firms put in place sound strategies for their clients’ finances while not doing the same for their firm.
