Wealth management revenues rose to £6.62m during the year up nearly 50% from the previous year. The group said it would provide restricted advice on its SIPP and bespoke investment products and may give restricted advice in other product areas.

Adjusted pre-tax profit rose to £5.06m during the year from £4.95m previously. Adjusted EPS rose to 22.02p from 21.17p.

Executive Chairman Bob Woods said he was pleased with the group's strong progress with both organic and acquired growth despite challenging economic conditions.

"I believe the group is now better-positioned than ever to compete in the post-RDR world and we will continue investing in the business to secure further profitable growth, underpinned by strong recurring revenues," he said.

The IFA and Sipp provider said its financial position is strong with net cash at period end of £5.14m compared to £4.61m the year before.
