Ann: New Xplore Wealth Brand Unveiled, page-5

I agree - this has been a sleeper for a long time as covered in previous threads. Having had exposure to IAS (Managed) as well as the underlying linear tech IPS all I can say is I would not want to use either. The issue as @Permabear suggests is this is a very competitive landscape with some very compelling new player offerings as well some re-invigorated incumbents. IMO Lipstick and rebranding is not the answer - agile client centric development, state of the art reporting, seamless, intuitive, easy, and efficient portfolio processing and execution, etc etc - these are what practitioners and their clients want. The players that do this best will continue to attract the flow of money IMO
