“Can a legacy UK life-and-pensions group re-emerge as a leading vertically integrated adviser-platform + asset-manager on the back of the Ascentric acquisition?”
M&G plc demerged from Prudential in 2019 and immediately set about building a UK retail wealth franchise. In 2021 it acquired Royal London's Ascentric adviser platform, folded it into IFDL, and rebranded as the M&G Wealth Platform. The platform is the digital distribution rail for M&G's asset management and Prudential-legacy retirement products, positioning M&G as an end-to-end retail wealth manufacturer + distributor for UK IFAs.

M&G Wealth Platform integrates with Iress (X Plan / Adviser Office), Sprint Fastrak, Intelliflo, Dynamic Planner, True Potential, Praemium, Time 4 Advice, Assyst Office and 5 others.
