In this week’s episode, Matt and Jenny dive into the world of MPS with expert James Giblin, a Multi-Asset Fund Manager at L&G. James discusses how advisers view MPS—whether it’s more of a product, a service, or something in between—and what really matters when it comes to picking the right solution.

James explores what makes an MPS relationship work—and why it’s about more than just performance charts and factsheets, whether we have reached peak MPS take-up and the questions advisers are asking as part of their MPS selection process.
