As at the end of March, total assets held were £3.4bn which is £1bn up on its level 12 months ago.
Commenting on the numbers, chief executive John Ions said: “It is particularly pleasing to have weathered the more turbulent second quarter with a small positive net inflow but maintaining strong headline gross sales.”
He went on to say: “Average monthly gross sales in the last financial year were £107m compared to £136m in the current financial year to date.”
To put this in context, at the end of March 2012 the firm boasted £1.5bn in AUM, a figure that increased to £3bn at the end of March this year.
Looking at the specific results just announced, just under 75% of total assets held, £2.49bn, is in the firm’s UK retail franchise.
