Our financial results for Year End 31 March 2017 reflect our first full year as a mature business and we have exceeded all our growth targets whilst also achieving nearly 100% client retention over the last three years. We have a very talented team, an unrivalled breadth of service offering and exceptional quant and technological resources - and I believe these factors really set us apart from our competitors in the industry.
