Investment performance continued to be strong relative to benchmark, up 1.7% for the period, ahead of the MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Balanced Index which was down 0.4%, the company said.
Its bespoke portfolio service was marginally up on the quarter at £8.3 billion, although the managed portfolio service was down 1.9% to £1.8 billion, and funds reduced 3.4% to £2.0 billion.
'The largest contributor to the reduction in MPS FUM was the exit of a single £90 million mandate as it moved from discretionary to advisory,' the company said.
