Wealth manager and Financial Planner Quilter has written to the Prime Minister and the Minister for Digital and Culture calling on the government to include scams and other financial harms within the scope of the upcoming Online Safety Bill.

The number of people registering a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) has dropped 30% year on year following the disruption to the process for applying during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Life insurance specialist Utmost Group is to acquire Quilter’s cross-border platform Quilter International for £483m cash to add to its wealth solutions arm.

The compensation Quilter paid to its senior management in 2020 fell 37% as adjusted pre-tax profits for the group fell from £182m in 2019 to £168m.
