The business has delivered AUM growth of over 48% per annum over the past four years[1] and today manages £6.8 billion[2] on behalf of its clients. It has a strong platform in Europe and is rapidly expanding in the US, this positions the business well to capture opportunities in a market expected to grow significantly over the near-term.
