Our latest price cut

New with profit fund added to expand investment choice
We now offer access to the Wesleyan With Profit fund on our Nucleus Wrap platform. It aims to be a long-term investment solution, investing in a range of asset classes to diversify risk.
Who are we?
Nucleus Wrap was developed by a group of advisers who wanted to create a platform that put clients first, that gave advisers greater control over customer outcomes, and provided better value.
Meanwhile, James Hay was one of the first SIPP providers in the UK and pioneered the modular approach to retirement wealth planning.
In August 2021, James Hay and Nucleus Financial came together.
Our combined scale and profitability have enabled us to invest in products, technology, price and service to create a new platform designed to empower advisers to meet the evolving needs of their customers.
What do we do?
We provide a fully independent wrap platform with access to a wide range of tax wrappers and an open architecture approach to investments. The platform allows you to combine all of your clients’ assets into a single, manageable online account. This allows portfolios to be viewed at a glance, allowing easy valuations and variations to be made.
With Nucleus there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. You’re free to create tax efficient, low cost solutions for each and every client. To support this, the platform is built on the very latest technology and is backed by award-winning customer service.
2024 Defaqto Gold Service Rating
We’re delighted to be given a Gold rating for both pension and platform service by Defaqto.
A Gold rating means that we deliver the highest level of adviser satisfaction against provider perception, new business administration, existing business administration and online servicing.
