KNOWLEDGE
The MPF collects confidential data and conducts regular surveys amongst MPs and members of the management team based worldwide.
For example, the FT/MPF Client Survey is in its second year and focuses on management’s contribution to the client experience across all sectors. It also explores the changing nature of the relationship between professional advisers and their clients, and the core competencies and practical tools that add most value to that relationship. The survey is designed to be completed by MPs, fee earners and C-Suite members as well as clients. More on the FT/MPF Survey…
