Interim Management Statement
Evolution Group, the listed investment bank and private client
investment manager, today issues its Interim Management Statement
for the period from 1 July 2010 to date, as required by the UK
Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rule 4.3.
Despite ongoing difficult market conditions, the Group continues
to trade profitably, generate cash earnings and preserve its strong
balance sheet.
Although secondary market client activity in both equities and
fixed income remains subdued, corporate income for the period to 31
October is ahead of the first half run rate, and the business
continues to win high quality new clients and mandates.
Significant progress is being made in the debt advisory and
origination business, which has won four advisory mandates in the
period.
In line with market forecasts, full year investment banking
profit will be significantly lower than 2009, as a result of fixed
income revenues being much reduced on an exceptionally good prior
year and tougher equity market trading conditions.
Private client income is in line with the first half run rate
and profit continues to be strongly ahead of 2009, driven by a
further 9% growth in assets under management from 30 June 2010 to
GBP5.5bn.
Operating costs are being tightly managed to ensure investment
in the business continues at the same time as protecting current
profitability.
