According to IRESS’ first-half results, wealth management revenue increased 5 per cent on the previous six months.
Compared with the prior corresponding period, it was up by 12 per cent.
“Half-on-half revenue growth was driven by broad client activity, including significant projects, some of which are scheduled to launch in the second half of 2016,” a statement from the firm said.
“Based on current project pipeline and timing, IRESS expects continued strong results for wealth management in 2016.”
