Transact offers top notch service and is well-regarded by advisers that use the platform. They are more paper-based than some other platforms, but many advisers don't mind so long as it works - and it does. As a percentage of assets, they tend to be more expensive for smaller accounts. Transact is very close to financial advice businessses and focussed squarely on doing right by the adviser and the customer. Ian Taylor (Transact's CEO) rarely speaks at a conference without mentioning 'Mrs Miggins'. This focus works for advisers but causes frustration with DIMs and fund managers who would like Transact to do things like gate funds, split fees, etc.
Transact is resolutely independent. It has no tie ups with any asset managers and no wiff of vertical integration. In this it is unique and that offers comfort to many advisers. We are often told that Transact's tech is creaky. It's hard to find evidence of that as they innovate more quickly than many competitors. They were the first to fully comply with pension freedoms and were among the first to be compliant with MiFID II. Transact has made it a virtue to stick to its knitting. It's completed a successful IPO, continues to innovate and remains focussed on the adviser and customer.
