Financial advice can be a sensitive topic – those giving it don’t want to mislead customers, while customers are wary about the level of trust they can place in their advisers. Nonetheless, done correctly, investing can be a very beneficial way for someone to use their funds. This November we are exploring all the aspects of wealthtech and how the industry has developed this year.
