John Ions, chief executive, said: "I am pleased with the progress we have made in the first six months of the financial year, both through the continued growth of the business and the investment we have made to help propel our future expansion.
"We have now recorded seventeen consecutive quarters of net inflows. This is pleasing given that in September 2014, according to the Investment Management Association (IMA), retail sales across the industry fell to their lowest level since January 2013."
