This represented a £4m (8.4%) increase over Q3 2016 when income was £71.3m.

In addition, the firm reported total funds under management increased in the quarter by 3.7% to £39.2bn, with discretionary funds growing 4.4% to £32.9bn.

“The interation of DLAM is making good progress and we are delighted to have welcomed our new colleagues. We continue to make steady progress in delivering against our long-term growth strategy and our confidence in the future is underpinned by our robust financial position.”
