“We have ended 2020 on a high. Record inflows across the business have lifted us to over $34 billion in FUA, helped along by buoyant market conditions,” he said
“A 69 per cent year-on-year increase in global FUA is a fantastic result in a year of tremendous disruption,” Michael added.
On the activities front, Praemium spent much of the December quarter focussed on integrating the newly acquired Powerwrap platform into its existing business.
