The firm added £900m owing to its investment performance.
This is said to have offset net outflows of £600m.
Discretionary funds FuMA rose 3%, while that of advisory dealing funds dropped 8%.
Advisory managed and execution-only funds remained unchanged.
Core business revenue at Charles Stanley increased 6% year-on-year to £41.5m.
The company attributed the rise to 8% increase in fee income.
“Fees grew both as a result of the continuing service mix change toward discretionary and the completion of the repricing exercise at the end of the last financial year,” the company said.
Commenting on the performance, Charles Stanley CEO Paul Abberley said: “I am pleased to see that revenues and Funds under Management and Administration continue to grow.
“These are a result of our previous strategic decisions and the improvements have allowed us to focus on the implementation of our transformation programme to improve productivity and operational efficiency.”
Recently, Charles Stanley opened an office in Belfast, marking its entry into Northern Ireland.
