So Standard Life is buying Axa's Elevate platform. Howe exciting! All we need now is for Aegon to confirm that it's buying Cofunds and that will be industry consolidation sorted for a little while. A tie-up between the two makes sense. Standard Life has big ambitions and the Axa group had made clear that it wanted out. It makes sense for Elevate to move to a parent that wants it and has a long-term stake in the industry.

Tuesday evening saw the Fundscape team head off to the Aberdeen platform awards dressed up to the nines and with no coats. Geordies we’re not, but at the beginning of the week the evenings still had that balmy summer feeling to them, although just a few days later the chilly nights have started to set in. It was a great evening as usual and it was great to catch up with the platform industry. Two platforms stood out and won the key accolades of the night: Transact for best platform for adviser service and best large platform provider, and Axa Elevate for best smaller platform provider, and the big prize of the night — best platform of the year. Well done!
