In this latest episode of the New Model Adviser podcast, reporter James Fitzgerald speaks with Ben Hammond, platforms director at Altus Consulting.

They speak about the inner workings of recent private equity deals for platforms, and what recent takeovers mean for platforms’ staff, advisers and clients.

Hammond tells Fitzgerald that Platforms have become attractive options for private equity firms in recent years, and that the recent acquisitions we have seen may just be the beginning of mass consolidation in the platform space.
