Paul Hogarth, Founder and CEO of plc, said:
“I am pleased to report the continued growth of the Group for the six-month period to 30 September 2020. The last six months have been testing times for many businesses and our business model has proved to be resilient and capable of dealing with the challenges presented by the pandemic.
We adapted seamlessly to the new trading environment and have maintained face-to-face engagement with our IFAs, where possible. We have also redeployed resources to direct online engagement, running multiple interactive virtual events and frequent video investment updates, which have been well received and have proved to be very successful.
Tatton continues to make progress increasing new firm numbers and we are pleased to see our AUM increase to £7.8 billion through a combination of positive organic net inflows and strong investment performance.
Paradigm Consulting has been largely unaffected by the ongoing pandemic and has increased new members and while Paradigm Mortgages encountered a very challenging environment specifically in Q1, it has since remained resilient and is performing well in the current market.
As we look forward, the Group is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead, and we remain optimistic and confident the Group will continue to grow and make progress.”
