"In 2007 we focused on driving synergies, resolving legacy issues and building and expanding our capabilities across our international portfolio. I am delighted that during this period of investment we were able to produce a good performance despite the prevailing difficult trading conditions. Particularly pleasing was the continued delivery of outstanding investment performance, which stimulated growth in net client cash flow and, ultimately, funds under management."
