“Our progress reflects our leading position as a truly holistic wealth manager and the pace at which we are progressing organic growth initiatives and opportunities to modernise. We also continue to demonstrate our ability to identify and incorporate like-minded businesses and we look forward to finalising our acquisition of Intelligent Capital in the coming months.”
