Endeavors to add value include providing data analytics or features to facilitate dynamic advice strategies. It is also well integrated with external financial services and software providers. These efforts help Hub24 capture more touchpoints within the advice landscape, and support its endeavors to streamline the implementation of financial advice to clients under a single—Hub24’s—platform.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Despite rapid growth, Hub24 accounts for only a small proportion of the investment administration market. There remains significant earnings upside.

Bears

Hub24 operates in a commoditized industry. We expect the larger providers to continue improving the functionality of their platforms and compete more aggressively on price.
