Fidelity FundsNetwork has launched ‘Knowledge Hub’ - a new online service provides advisers with training, demonstrations of platform tools and services, guidance and insight on key themes - from tax to regulations.

Launched this month, Knowledge Hub covers an extensive range of topics: from features and navigation of the website, to demonstrating the Portfolio Evaluator service. It will enable advisers to get to grips with topics they want to increase their knowledge about, as well as helping them to better understand the services, tools and benefits available to use on the platform.

The first step in the programme is the launch of a series of interactive webinars - designed to help advisers:

Get-a-head-start in client asset modelling with our new Portfolio Evaluator.

More effectively manage their clients’ investments online.

Reduce the amount of paper they are using through online dealing and Electronic Document Delivery.

David White, head of Fidelity FundsNetwork, said: “The Knowledge Hub has been designed to deliver more information and training direct to the advisers’ desktop. With the impending RDR, time is precious, so using our new webinar programme, advisers can pick and choose the modules that are most appropriate for them and their businesses - and ultimately get the most out of the platform services we provide today.

"This is just the first delivery for Knowledge Hub. Over time, we aim to deliver more and more services in this cost effective way.”
