Bridge
Your independent MPS research and oversight solution – built to support better adviser outcomes.
Bridge is a research and monitoring platform focused on the UK Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) market.
Developed in response to the rapid growth and increasing complexity of the MPS landscape, Bridge helps financial advisers make more informed, robust, and repeatable investment decisions.
Rather than relying on high-level data or past performance alone, Bridge provides deeper insight into how portfolios are constructed, what is driving returns, and how consistent investment approaches are over time.
This supports advisers in meeting the increasing expectations of Consumer Duty, particularly around evidencing suitability, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring.
Bridge is delivered through an interactive online portal, providing access to structured research, analysis, and reporting across a curated range of leading MPS providers.
What sets Bridge apart:
-
Goes beyond performance
Most tools focus on past returns and high-level metrics - Bridge focuses on understanding the underlying investment process, including asset allocation, fund selection, and portfolio construction.
-
Independent, transparent research
Bridge is not a ratings or paid-for listing model - all research is fully independent, with no fees taken from providers for inclusion.
-
Curated universe, not the whole market
Rather than forcing advisers to sift through 100+ providers, Bridge focuses on a select group of high-quality, well-researched MPS solutions.
-
Built for ongoing monitoring, not just selection
Most tools stop at selection - Bridge provides a structured framework for ongoing oversight, including regular reviews and updates.
-
Designed for Consumer Duty
Outputs are built to help advisers evidence their decision-making and governance - not just inform it.
-
Feels like an outsourced investment team
With integrated support and on-demand insight, advisers can ask questions and access additional analysis as needed - rather than relying on a static tool.
