Nucleus, the adviser-built wrap platform, has partnered with consultant and former FCA technical specialist Rory Percival to launch a white paper on the rules and regulations around suitability specifically aimed at financial advisers.

Platform and SIPP operator AJ Bell is set to be valued at between £626m and £675m when it floats on the stock market in December, the company predicts.

Wrap platform Nucleus has added two new non-executive directors to its board.

A user survey by platform Nucleus says that the appetite for adviser business owners to acquire rival firms remains strong with 42% interested in buying a business.
