under advice across about 31,000 UK advisers in 5,548 firms (FCA, April 2026)
TID Professional is the asset-class desk for UK advice and wealth: independent data, regulation and due diligence for every asset class, free to verified professionals. It shares a newsroom and seven desks with The Investment Daily, written at the depth you need to choose, justify and explain investments for clients.
TID Professional is for investment professionals. Content in this section is not suitable for private investors and should not be relied on by them.
People in product and distribution roles at asset managers and platforms are welcome to register. We write for the people who choose investments on behalf of clients.
Each of our seven desks carries a Professional room with the same six modules, so you learn the layout once.
| Module | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Market | What changed this month, and where yields, valuations and flows stand |
| Vehicles | Direct holdings, OEICs, ETFs, investment trusts, LTAFs, structured products and model portfolio exposure, with costs and liquidity terms |
| Data | Flows, fees, dispersion and availability on platforms, with the method behind every figure |
| Regulation and tax | Disclosure rules, Consumer Duty, ISA, pension and inheritance tax treatment, and dealing and notice terms |
| Due diligence | The questions to ask managers and providers, and the red flags |
| Client conversation | A link to the matching investor explainer, written for clients to read |
| Desk | Professional focus |
|---|---|
| Bonds & Cash | Gilts and gilt ladders for income and drawdown, corporate bonds, money market funds and the line between cash and investing |
| Funds & ETFs | Fund selection, costs, investment trust discounts and what sits inside model portfolios |
| Equities | UK, US, Indian and global equity exposure, equity income and the vehicles that deliver them |
| Property | REITs, property funds and their dealing terms, and buy-to-let for clients who already own it |
| Gold & Commodities | Gold and commodity vehicles, their costs, their tax treatment and how they are held |
| Private Markets | LTAFs, PISCES, VCTs, EIS, private credit and private equity: access, notice periods, platform availability and suitability |
| Alternatives | Infrastructure and renewables trusts, digital asset products, structured products and absolute return funds |
