"It gives me great pleasure to present to Shareholders another set of robust figures. While market conditions have been favourable there are a number of other factors which have been significant in achieving the progress that we have made. We have enjoyed the benefit of new teams joining us both in London and elsewhere in our branch network. We have also seen further migration from advisory to discretionary management as well as enjoying a steady inflow of new clients."

Jamie Matheson, Executive Chairman
