David Bellamy, Chief Executive, commented:

“We are delighted with the continued momentum in new business and investment inflows during the quarter, which is attributable to the increasing breadth of our investment offering and the strength of our distribution.

This performance, together with the recovery in world stock markets, has given rise to strong growth in funds under management to £24.8 billion. Funds under management have now doubled over the last five years.

Although the outlook was uncertain earlier in the year, 2010 is proving to be a very successful year for St. James’s Place. While we are up against tougher comparatives in the short term we remain confident in our ability to deliver average new business growth within our 15-20% per annum range over the medium term.”
