Outlook: Acquisition and organic opportunities

AFH has shown that being an IFA consolidator can work. 2014 saw heavy investment in control functions (which should now increase at a much slower pace) and the FCA review of regulatory authorisations taking much longer than expected (a market-wide phenomenon). Despite these drags, profits still grew, and looking forward much more of the revenue growth is expected to drop down to profit. At end October the group had £5.7m in cash to fund further acquisitions. There has been evidence of organic growth. In 2014 c 15% of the recurring revenue increase was due to acquisitions made during the year.
