David Bellamy, Chief Executive, commented:
“I am very pleased to report another record year for new business despite the difficult economic conditions that prevailed throughout the year and in particular the extreme volatility that characterised stock markets in the second half of the year.
"St. James’s Place attracted £5.2 billion of new investments in 2011, while the strength of client relationships established by our Partners saw fund retention continue at 95%. As a result assets under management have grown to £28.5 billion.
"We also have excellent momentum in other aspects of the business. The growth in Partner numbers, the addition of new investment funds and the progress made in achieving the new regulatory qualification levels all bode well for the future. Consequently, while mindful of the difficult economic conditions that persist, we have a good platform for further growth in new business in 2012.”
