  2. The movement in G&A expenses includes financing costs

Key revenue movements

  • Higher PCT revenue reflecting growth in both MFS and DMS, as well as growth in data services revenue and full year Roundtables revenue
  • Higher PP revenues due to higher market related revenue partially offset by lower non-market revenues
  • Lower PI revenue impacted by PI net flows and lower performance fees
  • Higher other income due to lower unrealised loss on assets at FVTPL compared to 1H19, partially offset by lower distributions this half
  • Lower interest income received from unit trust investments and bank deposits

Key expense movements

  • Lower staff costs due to lower FTE and lower variable remuneration across the group
  • G&A includes inorganic and organic cost growth initiatives, as well as adviser growth strategy, higher interest, partially offset by lower listed strategy costs this half
  • Lower occupancy costs offset by depreciation and amortisation (D&A) uplift due to new leasing standard and full year of Roundtables acquisition late in 1H19
  • Equity remuneration higher in 1H20 due to reversals from forfeited options reported in 1H19
