LONDON (8 May 2025) – ISS Market Intelligence (ISS MI), the leading provider of data and insights to the global financial services industry, has added a range of new capabilities to its MarketPro intelligence platform in the U.K.
The platform (formerly Financial Clarity) provides comprehensive and accurate coverage of the U.K. investment industry, covering over 90% of the U.K. retail market reported directly by platforms, fund manager groups, life and pension companies.
Over the past six months, ISS MI has been refining new platform features for asset and wealth management users, including the ability to display:
- The gross flows for Model portfolio providers by name
- The top Model Portfolio providers in the market by sales/AUM
- The total sales/AUM of individual Model Portfolio providers and the associated fund characteristics such as IA sector and active/passive
- Model Portfolio provider usage of individual adviser firms and the associated sales/AUM breakdown.
As of today, all MarketPro clients will be able to access this leading-edge data, enabling them to more effectively identify new opportunities, enhance strategies and increase market share.
Mark Hamper, Head of Strategy & U.K. Business Lead at ISS MI, says: “The addition of these new capabilities is a prime example of how we continually invest in our products and solutions for fund solutions providers as they look to identify new opportunities to grow their businesses and better support end-investors.
“In our recent MPS report we saw that 90% of gross sales for all U.K. funds are coming from firms already using model portfolios to some extent, so only those with a clear view of what’s happening in the market by provider, region, group and consolidator will be able to pinpoint how they can deliver tangible value and continue to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
“In the model portfolio space, looking at AUM in isolation can be misleading due to the amount of legacy data that can be held in the asset base. By putting greater emphasis on flows and allowing users to customise searches in a way that fits their needs, we can now offer the clearest and most dynamic view of month-on-month growth so firms can easily identify where the opportunities to drive value lie and create a clear plan for future action.”
