The adviser landscape is changing. Client needs are becoming more diverse, regulation more demanding, and inheritance tax and wider tax planning considerations are now shaping advice conversations much earlier than before. As a result, the long-held assumption that one platform or one portfolio can suit everyone is increasingly being challenged.
The Binary / Fundment Regional Summer Tour brings this conversation into the room.
This in-person series will travel across the UK, exploring how advisers can build more flexible, client-led solutions by rethinking platform infrastructure and portfolio construction in the context of tax, estate planning, and real client outcomes. The focus is on moving beyond generic models towards approaches that reflect the full complexity of clients’ financial lives.
Alongside this, we will share specialist insight into how evolving tax considerations – including Inheritance Tax - are being integrated earlier and more deliberately into the advice journey, and how these can sit coherently alongside platform and portfolio decisions within a holistic planning framework.

Sarb Thind from Binary Capital will explore tailored MPS design, what “evidence-based investing” really means in practice, and how endowment-style portfolio thinking can support better long-term outcomes.
Vikkesh from Fundment will focus on cutting through platform complexity – simplifying the tech stack, unlocking the benefits of white-labelled platforms and examining how real disruption is changing the adviser experience.
Octopus Investments will explore IHT and Business Relief planning through a client-led lens, reinforcing that no two clients are the same and effective solutions must be tailored accordingly.
