Brewin Dolphin CEO David Nicol said: “The first quarter has been characterised by lower market levels and ongoing macro-economic uncertainty. Against this backdrop, net discretionary inflows have remained strong and ahead of our 5% target, albeit intermediary client activity has slowed whilst intermediaries and their clients assess the current environment.
“Challenging market conditions reinforce the value Brewin Dolphin offers clients and we remain confident in our business model, strategy and long-term growth prospects. We will continue to invest selectively to build the business and retain a disciplined focus on operating expenses.“
In December last year Brewin Dolphin has agreed to purchase Basingstoke-based advisory business Aylwin for an undisclosed amount.
