Broker Evolution says that trading conditions improved towards the end of 2010. This is inline with other brokers, such as Panmure Gordon and Arden, which have released trading statements and results in recent weeks. Evolution says that there is a growing pipeline of corporate transactions. That means that the full year results will be in line with expectations. Evolution says that investor confidence is "gathering momentum" with market activity improving from both institutions and private investors. Evolution expects to continue to improve its performance as long as the economy continues to recover.
