Trading performance
Assets under administration (AUA) reached £157.3bn, up from £155.3bn, driven by £1.5bn positive market movement and £0.5bn net new business.
Net client growth was 18,000 for the quarter, with total active clients now at 1,900,000.
Client retention rate stood at 92.0% and asset retention at 88.6%, both slightly below medium to long-term targets.
Share dealing volumes averaged 738,000 per month, with overseas deals making up 20.2% of total.
Client cash balances increased to £12.7bn, mainly due to net selling of investments in September.
Financial results
Total revenue for the quarter was £196.5m, up from £183.8m a year earlier.
Revenue growth was supported by higher dealing volumes and increased platform revenue from higher AUA.
Year-on-year reduction in revenue on cash due to a lower net interest margin was more than offset by other gains.
Strategic and operational highlights
Shareholders approved the proposed acquisition of Hargreaves Lansdown; completion expected in Q1 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
Focus remains on delivering strong client service, experience, and value while executing strategic initiatives.
Management is attentive to upcoming UK Budget changes and prepared to support clients accordingly.
