Most firms don’t set out to lose control of their data. It happens gradually. More tools. More integrations. More workarounds. Until control slips. As Elliot Finch from Investment Quorum puts it: “Many firms don’t really own the tools or the data they’re using. They’re simply conductors in a world of third-party providers.” And without control, the foundations aren’t there. • data doesn’t move cleanly • workflows don’t connect • automation stays patchy • scaling gets harder • AI stays surface-level The firms pulling ahead are changing that – taking back control of their data, their integrations and their architecture.

About us
Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform that’s helping more people to invest – and invest well. Our sector is being held back by old tech, dismal processes and misaligned interests. Together they create pointless complexity for financial planning and investment professionals, and provide outdated, overpriced experiences for customers. We’re on a mission to fix it. We help forward-thinking financial planners, wealth managers and investment platforms to reimagine their business and client experience – empowering them to build better, more sustainable and more valuable operations, and meet the digital demands of the future, not the baseline expectations of the past. And we do it by reimagining their technology – with a low-cost, hyper-efficient and (genuinely) API-first technology infrastructure that handles millions of requests every day, and powers the portfolios of approaching 1 million investors. A regulated custodian and ISA/SIPP provider, we combine the disruptive mindset and ambitious mission to shake things up, with the commitment and substance to not screw them up. We’re proud to be part of Octopus, the £multi-billion group that's on a mission to breathe new life into broken industries, through companies like Octopus Energy, Octopus Investments and Octopus Money.

We’re heading to Harrogate this week for the Owen James A Meeting of Minds Winning Advisers event. Our Commercial Director, Barry Neilson, will be leading a session drawing on themes from our recent report, Whose data is it anyway? He’ll explore data not as a strategic asset in theory, but as operational infrastructure in practice - and what it takes to make it reliable, usable and efficient across day-to-day operations. We're looking forward to the conversation and hearing how others are dealing with data! #OwenJamesEvents #WealthTech #WealthManagement #FinTech #DataStrategy

The winners in advice won’t be the ones with the most tools. They’ll be the ones whose data actually moves. Because making it simple to move data – cleanly, reliably, across systems – is what separates those who can scale and adapt from those who can’t. Not chasing shiny solutions, but building the right foundations first, then layering tools and AI into real workflows. Our latest report explores why that's becoming the defining advantage.

Switching between systems is costing more than most firms realise. Every jump breaks context. It takes time to reorient, pick things back up and become effective again. Small in isolation, but repeated across a day, a team or a firm, it becomes a meaningful drag on productivity. Our latest report explores how to reduce that friction.

You can’t out-tech bad data. Firms often look to new tools to solve performance gaps – but if the underlying data is fragmented or unreliable, those gaps tend to persist. It’s not always the system. More often, it’s what sits beneath it. Our latest report explores why – and what to do about it.

Data shouldn't be a byproduct of advice. It should be one of your most valuable assets. Yet many advice firms are sitting on data that's fragmented, hard to access and ultimately limiting what they can deliver to clients. The real value isn't in collecting more data. Its in connecting it, unlocking it and applying it in the right way. In our latest report, we explore what it takes to make that shift. Featuring insights from across the industry, including Joe Harris, Alpha FMC who shares his perspective in this clip.

AI is lowering the barrier to building software – fast. But we’ve seen this before. In this blog our Director of engineering, Sebastian Coles, explores why every new abstraction layer expands who can build… and introduces new risks. The answer isn’t slowing down – it’s better platforms, stronger guardrails and secure defaults. A short read on what AI really changes (and what it doesn’t) when it comes to security.
