This improved performance included a significant increase in new business activity, with first half 2021 annualised total new business wins up around 8% on the second half of 2020 to GBP15.7 million.

Also on Wednesday, Sanne Group said it has acquired the European fund administration business of PraxisIFM Group Ltd, PraxisIFM for GBP54 million.
