In addition, Arbuthnot Latham, the private banking arm of the group, also achieved a rise in pre-tax profit, reaching £1.7 million compared to the £1 million earned at the same point last year. Moreover, investment assets under discretionary management grew 32% from the prior year to £565.9 million.

Henry Angest, chairman and chief executive, said: "The group has made good progress and, following the successful raising of £75m of new capital, is well placed to pursue the opportunities that exist in the banking industry."
