The Capacity and Compliance Problem

Your firm carries hundreds of clients where the fee income does not justify senior adviser time. They still need annual reviews. Consumer Duty still requires evidence. Pillar closes the gap between your obligation and your capacity.

Most advice firms carry 60-70% of their client base in lower-fee tiers. Consumer Duty requires documented, outcomes-focused servicing across every client, not just the top tier. The FCA is actively supervising review quality. Adviser-delivered reviews for this segment no longer make economic sense.

The annual review model is broken

Three pressures driving the change

Large long-tail client segments requiring annual review servicing

Consumer Duty evidence

Consumer Duty requires documented, outcomes-focused service for every client, not just the profitable ones. FCA supervisory focus now explicitly includes annual review quality at smaller firms.

Adviser capacity constraints — routine reviews consuming time needed for complex planning

Adviser capacity constraints

One adviser spending 2.5 hours per review across 200 lower-value clients loses 500 hours per year to non-advice work. That is capacity your firm cannot afford to waste on routine servicing.

Large long-tail client segments

Most advice firms carry 60-70% of their client book in segments where the fee income does not justify senior adviser time. Those clients still need structured servicing and documented reviews.
