Mark Lund, Chief Executive, commented:

“Against the backdrop of a 39% increase in new business during the first quarter of 2004, we are encouraged to report continued growth in 2005. We are particularly pleased that funds under management and income from wealth management services have shown further increases.

“As stated in our full year results announcement, prior year comparatives become less challenging as the year progresses. The second quarter has started very well with April showing strong new business growth compared with the same month last year.

“Our longer term growth target for new business remains 15 to 20 % per annum.”
