Alex Scott, IHP Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am pleased with the continued organic growth of our platform adviser and client numbers, demonstrating the success of our business model. Despite current market conditions, inflows remain resilient, and we have seen average daily FUD over the quarter increase to £55.5bn, with this being the main driver of Group revenues.
I was delighted to welcome Euan Marshall to the Group as our new Group Chief Financial Officer at the start of January. He brings extensive experience working as CFO of a UK listed financial services company and is a welcome addition to our leadership team.
Although the macroeconomic outlook is uncertain, our position in the market remains very strong. Transact is one of the leading adviser platforms in the market for service and functionality, and the Group benefits from consistent recurring revenues and economies of scale."
