The workshops are focused on helping advisers to understand the pensions changes in real and practical terms, as well as highlighting ways for advisers to increase their revenue from new opportunities. Attendees will also be shown the many ways that Cofunds’ retirement tools and services can be harnessed to increase their business efficiencies.
Stephen Wynne-Jones, Head of Marketing at Cofunds, said: “We’re simply responding to adviser demand. This is a complex area and many of our clients asked for practical and relevant help. We’re therefore pleased that with our friends at Technical Connection, we can facilitate this type of event.
“Over the last year we’ve added technology that gives advisers a robust, repeatable and compliant investment process and reduces the risk of their client service proposition. It’s important that we follow this up by demonstrating how this works and the value it can add to an adviser’s business, particularly at a time of great industry change. It’s not just about the technology – support is fundamental to the service we offer.”
