LONDON, 25/11/2025 – AssetQ, the leading provider of due diligence information for
asset managers and distributors, today announced that Hargreaves Lansdown (HL)
has selected AssetQ as its system for the provision of fund and asset management
organisational due diligence information.
Hargreaves Lansdown is the UK’s number one platform for private investors,
with over two million clients and £172.7 billion in assets under administration (as at
30 June 2025). HL offers a range of solutions for investors with different
requirements, from ready-made options for those just starting out or seeking a
more hands-off approach, to the Wealth Shortlist, which helps investors
choose individual funds to build well-balanced and diversified portfolios.
AssetQ will support HL’s processes by centralising the collection of organisational
due diligence data and providing access to consistent and reliable provider and
product information.
Emma Wall, Chief Investment Strategist, Hargreaves Lansdown:
“As the UK’s largest retail investment platform, we’re passionate about building a
nation of confident investors. A core part of that is ensuring the market-leading
analysis underpinning HL’s investment solutions is supported by rigorous,
comprehensive due diligence.
This partnership with AssetQ helps us maintain a high bar for the quality, reliability
and governance of the products available to our clients. Robust due diligence sits at
the heart of how we deliver good outcomes for our clients, and AssetQ will play an
important role in strengthening that process.”
Richard Green, CEO of AssetQ, went on to comment, “Naturally, we are delighted
to have Hargreaves Lansdown join our ever-growing community of platform users.
Having already announced the addition of M&G Wealth earlier in the year, this latest
adoption cements our position as the essential infrastructure for UK fund distribution.
Reliably collecting detailed information from asset managers on a regular basis has
historically been challenging; our pedigree is clear. We offer a proven consolidator
service backed by the largest community of distributors. It is the overwhelming scale
of our client base that drives asset managers to submit their information to AssetQ
first.“
The integration is now underway, ensuring HL’s due diligence function benefits from
the industry’s most comprehensive and reliable data source.
