Allfunds operates an open architecture platform which provides a marketplace connecting financial institutions wanting to buy and/or distribute funds – either for their own account, for products they manage (including funds of funds or pension funds) or on behalf of their clients – (all these entities referred to together as Distributors) with asset managers that launch, manage or distribute such funds (referred to as Fund Houses).
Allfunds believes that its competitive strengths have allowed it to be at the forefront of innovation and to take full advantage of favorable market trends, evolving from Allfunds 1.0, a European platform with limited service offering, to Allfunds 2.0 a one-stop shop. The group believes it is well positioned to enhance its business and increase scale over the coming years, with opportunities mostly centering on the following strategic pillars supporting the Allfunds 3.0 vision for the future as a fully digital client service provider.

Fund Houses benefit from an attractive value-for-money proposition in which they pay a fee to Allfunds for the intermediated and distributed AuA plus other value-added services.
