Full-year net outflows were £0.4bn, with the second half seeing an improvement as net outflows reduced to just £0.1bn from £0.3bn of outflows in the first half.
Revenues were 4.6% higher at £111.6m, supported by higher financial planning income following the acquisitions of financial planning businesses CST Wealth, Lucas Fettes and LIFT.
However, statutory profit before tax dropped 28.9% to £17.5m due to higher acquisition and integration costs. On an underlying basis, operating profit before tax was still down 4.6% at £28.9m, dragged lower by a fall in the underlying operating profit margin to 25.9% from 28.4%.
Nevertheless, the company declared a final dividend of 51p per share, making a total dividend of 81p, up 3.8% year-on-year.
