I am extremely pleased to report another record half-year result, which demonstrates the earnings power of our franchise against the strong comparative periods of 2021 and 2020, which benefited from Covid-related volatility. I am proud of how our business has successfully navigated the recent market volatility, which at times has been extremely challenging, continuing to provide liquidity and support to our clients. This performance also underlines how our growth strategy of investing to increase the range of what we can offer our clients, whilst also diversifying the firm, is bearing fruit – and how profitable we can be when supported by macroeconomic tailwinds.
