This performance reinforces our confidence in the firm’s chosen longer term strategy and our ability to successfully execute against it. The sustained growth momentum across all major business lines highlights the strength and market relevance of our portfolio. It is especially rewarding to note that this year marks the third successive year where we have exceeded the year-on-year growth rate of 30%.
