Paraplanner technical hub

Supporting paraplanners in a world of constant change

Paraplanners are a fundamental part of financial planning, playing a crucial role in the research, recommendations, and outcomes for clients.

We believe it’s important that we help support what you do, which is why our Paraplanner hub provides a wealth of support on regulatory and legislative updates as well as access to other technical material.

Watch Fidelity’s experts – Paul Richards, Paul Squirrell, and Jon Hale – in this 45-minute discussion as they unpack the latest developments in retirement and tax planning. They cover key changes and what’s ahead for pensions, ISAs, and CGT, explore estate planning implications, and share practical tips for managing tax year-end tasks on our platform.
