Composer for Advised Investment Platforms

Advised investment platforms place complex demands on administration systems, requiring the management of adviser-client relationships, permissions, charges and ongoing servicing across multiple products and distribution hierarchies. Composer is the administration platform UK investment platforms rely on to operate at scale, supporting adviser-led operating models through a single, highly automated operating environment.

Composer manages clients, advisers and firms as first-class entities, enabling real-world adviser hierarchies, permissions and servicing responsibilities to be reflected directly within the administration platform. Multiple products, including SIPPs, ISAs and GIAs, can be administered under a single customer record, with clear separation between client ownership and adviser authority. Adviser permissions, servicing rights and charging arrangements are applied consistently across products, supporting ongoing advice, suitability reviews and regulatory oversight.

A key strength of Composer is its adviser fees and charges capability. Adviser and firm-level charges can be administered alongside product and platform fees within the core system, with full transparency, auditability and reporting. This enables support for a wide range of advised business models while maintaining strong governance and reducing reliance on manual reconciliation or external systems.
