- Net inflows of £1.3bn as investors perk up
- Rising interest rates boost deposit income
The pick-up in business for the major share and fund dealing platforms has continued into the new year. AJ Bell (AJB), the smaller of the UK’s leading platform brands, reported an increase in net inflows to £1.3bn, or up 63 per cent on this time last year. The company attributes this to the easing of pressure on household finances and a renewed sense of confidence in its retail investor base.
