The company also says that it has seen a 38.8 per cent increase in its average individual wrap account size to in excess of £250,000.

Chief executive officer Javier Maldonado says: "When we launched in September 2003, it was our stated intention to create the first comprehensive and scaleable wrap service, based on open architecture and a truly whole of market proposition.

"Four years on, we have made tremendous progress. With our technology partner Infocomp, who have a proven track record in the established Australian market, we have developed the architecture to deliver the UK's first true wrap proposition.

"While other wrap providers have come and gone, James Hay has invested extensively into its wrap proposition and remains committed to further investment."
