The purchase of Scotland-based investment manager Speirs & Jeffrey contributed £6.7bn to funds under management. Net operating income rose to £80.3m from £70.5m a year earlier.
Excluding the acquisition, funds under management grew 1.8% compared to the second quarter.
Funds under management in unit trusts were £6bn, up 3.4% quarter-on-quarter.
“Net inflows for the quarter were £121m compared to £342m a year ago, reflecting a more difficult trading environment for asset management generally,” the company said.
