Against a macroeconomic and geopolitical climate not seen in a generation with subdued flows and lower activity across wealth management, we have delivered £5.5 billion of net new business through the year and the quality of our service attracted a further 92,000 net new clients.
Our focus is firmly on servicing our clients, disciplined cost management and delivering our strategy because we remain confident that it will deliver outstanding client service, strong shareholder returns and market leadership for HL.
Our progress against our strategic goals has been strong since February with the launch of the first of our new funds and an acceleration in our Active Savings proposition, an essential service to help clients manage their cash savings at this critical time, leading to a record £4.6 bn assets, with over 114,000 client accounts.
I would like to thank my colleagues for their hard work and continued commitment to our clients to ensure they get the best outcomes during these challenging times.
