The Pulse

This year we have launched The Pulse – our new digital, interactive portal that provides insights on the biggest themes impacting the distribution landscape.

.

Strategic collaboration across two decades

For nearly 20 years we have brought together strategic heads from the largest distributors across the financial services landscape to strategise with each other.

This has allowed us to gather quantitative and qualitative research during an event’s cycle and the only way to access all our latest findings is through our platform – The Pulse.  

Who is The Pulse for?

Distributors

The Pulse gives distributors access to real-time insights and benchmarking data, simply by completing an annual questionnaire. Understand how your peers are approaching regulation, client engagement, and distribution strategy – and use that insight to stay ahead.

Providers

Providers can use The Pulse to align their propositions and partnerships with current distributor needs and market sentiment. Gain access to both qualitative roundtable findings and five years of benchmarkable data across geography, business type, and community.

Associations

Associations can leverage The Pulse to understand the evolving priorities of their members and shape relevant content, support, and policy. Use rich data and strategic insight to inform lobbying, communications, and member engagement strategies.

Regulators

The Pulse offers regulators a unique window into how the industry is responding to key regulatory developments like Consumer Duty or ESG. Access aggregated feedback from over 100 annual events to track sentiment, surface emerging risks, and guide evidence-based policymaking.

Consultants

Consultants can use The Pulse to validate recommendations, benchmark client performance, and spot emerging trends across financial services. With direct access to insights from CEOs, CFOs, and COOs, it’s a powerful tool for strategy development and client advisory work

Marketing Teams

Marketing teams can align messaging and campaigns with live distributor and adviser sentiment captured through The Pulse. Discover what’s top of mind across the industry, tailor content to current trends, and optimise strategic positioning.
