Key highlights for the company are:

  • Record gross inflows of $2.6b and net inflows of $2.0b

  • Positive operating cashflows of $4.1m, cash and cash equivalents of $10.8m
  • Platform revenue growth of 71% with platform expense growth of 33% compared to the prior period
  • Continued strong FUA growth expected and targeting to more than double FUA in the next 3 years to greater than $12b

  • Strong growth in Paragem with the recruitment of 5 new advice practices during the year
  • Product launch of direct international share trading and the release of application interfaces to facilitate online account opening from any customer front end system

As the industry continues to acknowledge HUB24, our market presence and brand recognition is increasing within our target client segments. This is generating additional opportunities and strengthening our already solid pipeline that is expected to support ongoing growth. Momentum has continued in the new financial year with FUA increasing a further $275m to $5.8b as at 24th August 2017.

HUB24 Managing Director Andrew Alcock said: “We are excited to report our first full year of profit for the company at the same time as delivering record growth. As our industry continues to shift we believe HUB24 has a great opportunity to lead change, connect customers with innovative solutions and create increasing value for our shareholders.

“Our acquisition of Agility Applications earlier in the year signalled an expanded direction for HUB24 and is a strategic investment in the future of our industry. We are already seeing improved delivery for our existing customers as well as significant new client activity.

“We will continue to move quickly, innovate and invest in our market leading technology to make a real and positive difference for our customers and our business partners”.
