"The new structure we have put in place is a result of feedback from our adviser community. They told us very clearly they wanted the model to remain simple but become even more competitive and our continued financial success has enabled us to deliver that for them."
Mike Seddon, chairman of the Nucleus advisory board, said: "The wrap market is highly competitive and with a number of new entrants, it is no surprise that costs are being driven down. It was important that Nucleus listened to the IFA community and acted accordingly with a price reduction.
"We are delighted that they have taken the opportunity to lower their platform charge for portfolios in excess of £500k, without detriment to development and customer service. To be able to do this and maintain profitability is a commendable achievement."
