AJ Bell is one of the largest and fastest-growing investment platforms in the UK. It serves both the adviser market and the DIY investor. Having transitioned to updated technology in 2014, it is well placed to ride the growth in the market and pick up disaffected clients from competitor platforms that are only now upgrading. We anticipate strong profit growth on the back of higher revenues and positive operational gearing. The new asset management business should add further momentum, and higher UK savings rates could be the icing on the cake.
