- Encouraging trends

Share’s H117 figures announced in August were ahead of management expectations, reflecting robust trading volumes and the benefit of partnership agreements feeding into volumes and revenue. This has prompted us to increase estimates for this year and next. For the moment profitability is still muted because of the investment the company is making in IT in order to deliver a better customer experience. Assuming continued growth in the number of customers and assets under administration (AUA), operational leverage could provide further positive surprises.
