Commenting on the results, St James’s Place CEO David Bellamy, said: "I am very pleased to report that the strong momentum in our business continued into the third quarter, with growth in new business buoyed by a 50% increase in new ISA investments, as clients took the opportunity to capitalize on the higher limits introduced on 1 July.

"This growth, coupled with the consistently high retention of our existing client funds, saw net inflows increase by 23% to £1.3bn in the quarter, bringing our total funds under management to a record £49.1bn. After nine months the growth in new investments, to £5.8bn, is 21% higher than the same period last year," he added.
