The UK investment house has added ÂŁ1 billion to its fund pool in less than a year.

Hargreave Hale has surpassed ÂŁ6 billion ($7.85 billion) in funds under management for the first time.

In October 2015, the firm reached the ÂŁ5 billion mark and has since continued to attract strong inflows through both its private client and fund management arms, it said in a statement.

Earlier this year, Hargreave moved its headquarters to a new location in Blackpool, Lancashire to accommodate its growing team. The firm employs around 250 staff across nine UK offices.

“Surpassing ÂŁ6 billion in funds under management is a significant achievement, particularly at a time when investors remain uncertain about the country’s economic and political prospects,” said Stuart Brookes, joint managing director at Hargreave Hale. 

“Having reached this milestone, it is important that we continue to focus on the things that have been core to our success – maintaining strong client relationships, delivering quality solutions and providing a first class service.”
