The firm attributed the performance to one-off reduction in bonuses and other cost cuts linked to COVID-19.
In its annual general meeting, Mattioli Woods chairman Joanne Lake said: “In addition, adoption of the new accounting standard IFRS 16 decreased other administrative expenses and increased depreciation and interest on lease liabilities.”
The wealth manager further stated that the new clients it on-boarded in the first four months of the new financial year is in line with a year earlier.
Lake stated: “Market stability has shown signs of improving, despite the ongoing political and macro-economic uncertainty, with net inflows into the Group’s investment and asset management services at the same level as the equivalent period last year.”
