Where FE CashCalc wins

  • Tax-aware cashflow modelling built specifically for UK rules, which most international tools are not
  • Widely used by small and medium UK advice firms, so the workflow is well worn
  • Sits alongside FE fundinfo's fund research and structured product analysis, so the data is in one place

Where Dynamic Planner wins

  • Risk profiling is its strongest suit, and it is deeply embedded in UK advice processes
  • Covers the regulated workflow end to end: fact find, profiling, suitability and review
  • Publishes per-adviser pricing openly, which most adviser software vendors do not
