Schroders is the first asset management business to use TDH, and is part of a growing group of financial firms looking at the TDH Platform and TDH Scorecards to assess the capabilities of new technology providers.

Stewart Carmichael, Chief Technology Officer at Schroders said. “We are committed to a programme of innovation throughout the firm and are keen to work with appropriate early stage companies. One of the challenges we face is having the time to evaluate all the options under consideration, when there are so many startups offering similar services. We were impressed by TDH’s approach which we believe provides a deep and objective assessment of the capabilities of new technology vendors. We hope that the accelerated market scanning and the company assessments will help us to identify and evaluate innovative startups quickly and effectively.”

Rupert Bull, co-founder and CEO at The Disruption House commented. “We are excited to be supporting Schroders’ innovation agenda and as our first asset management firm we are delighted to welcome them on board. Their commitment is a further significant affirmation of the overall TDH concept. Our proven data driven approach underpins everything we do, enabling us to deliver comprehensive market access, together with validated and objective assessments of new technology providers. We believe this capability helps our clients to mitigate against the financial and reputation risks typically associated when engaging with new or developing businesses. We look forward to collaborating with Schroders’ on their technology innovation evaluation and engagement programme.
