Investment Management revenue rose by an encouraging 27.5% compared to the same quarter last year, outstripping a 22% rise in the APCIMS index.

Against this, other operating income (the Group’s share of interest receivable on client deposits) decreased by 28.4%, in line with falling interest rates. This restricted the overall increase in investment management revenue to 21%.

Real growth in discretionary funds (the increase above the movement in the APCIMS index) over the first nine months of the year is 8.5%, reflecting 1.8% real growth in the quarter. In absolute terms discretionary funds were up 29% on a year’s view.

Corporate Advisory & Broking (formerly Investment Banking) income was slightly down on the 2009 June quarter, but 35% up on a nine month view.

The Group currently has a consolidated capital adequacy surplus of £18 million. Group’s cash balances excluding client balances as at 27 June 2010 were £56 million.

In the short term the Group’s trading performance is very dependant on markets but we are maintaining our long term target of growing discretionary funds by at least 5% above market movement.
