Through its partnership with InvestCloud, Nutmeg was able to launch its Lifetime ISA (LISA) on 6 April 2017, the start of the new tax year. Nutmeg’s speed to market with the new LISA gives the online investment manager an advantage in marketing the product to UK consumers well ahead of competitors. To encourage savings among younger people for home ownership or retirement, the LISA offers a 25 percent government bonus on savings of up to £4,000 a year to anyone aged over 18 and under 40. Bill Packman, COO at Nutmeg, said: “We have always been at the forefront of providing new services to our customers, so it was imperative that we were able to launch the Lifetime ISA from day one. By providing flexibility and the ability to easily scale, InvestCloud has allowed us to be one of the first providers on the market able to offer this new and innovative product.” Through its digital wealth platform, InvestCloud provides front-, middle- and back-office accounting services for wealth management and investment firms, including a new generation of innovative online wealth managers such as Nutmeg. By choosing InvestCloud, Nutmeg has been able to bring new customers on-board at a faster rate and provide the real-time portfolio reporting expected by modern online investors. InvestCloud’s cloud-native and API-based architecture ensures all Nutmeg customers opening LISA accounts can be easily on-boarded, while helping the online investment manager to ensure compliance with the regulations for the new scheme via HMRC APIs. Steve Wise, EVP of InvestCloud’s icMAC division, said: “By using the InvestCloud platform for its middle- and back-office operations, Nutmeg ensured it can bring new products, like the LISA, to market quickly. By keeping their back- and middle-office systems in-house using InvestCloud, rather than outsourcing via a traditional custodian, wealth managers can ensure they deliver value, scale and efficiency. This applies not just to their own operations, but also to their customers who see the benefit in real-time portfolio valuations and flexible reporting.” About InvestCloud Inc. About InvestCloud Inc.
