Commenting on the results, Hans Hufschmid, chief executive officer, said: "GlobeOp performed very well during the first half of the year. Revenue growth resumed and adjusted operating profit increased 60% compared to the first half of 2009. We also continued to leverage our highly efficient operating model, evidenced by our record level of adjusted operating profit margin of 28.4% and significant cash flow generation. Once again we grew our AuA, as markets continue to recover, with subscriptions up 150% to $20 billion and redemptions down almost 50% from the first half of last year. We also added $5 billion of AuA coming from new clients and new funds with existing clients. By the end of June, AuA totalled $120 billion, an increase of 43% in the past year."

Commenting on the second half of 2010, Mr. Hufschmid added:

"We are proud of our recent achievements and excited by the opportunities for growth as we continue to expand into new areas. An indication of this is the addition of the $14.6 billion lift-out client that we won in late June. This mandate, which will add to revenue in the second half of 2010, demonstrates the breadth of our business and the potential opportunities for GlobeOp. Nevertheless, while we will seek to leverage our fundamental capabilities more broadly across the financial services industry, we recognise the importance of consistently investing in our operations whilst maintaining superior service levels and providing valuable solutions for new and existing clients. As a result, we believe we are well positioned for a successful 2010 and we are in line with external expectations for the year."
