FTSE 250 movers: International Personal Finance rises on profit increase

25th Apr 2013 16:05

Home credit business International Personal Finance rose after it saw an increase in profits in the first quarter boosted by new customers and growing loan values.Wealth management company St James's Place has delivered another strong period of growth during the first three months of the year. The group reported a 39% increase in net inflows during the period, and said funds under management (FuM) increased by £4.2bn to £39bn, up 12% in the year-to-date and 26% over the past 12 months. SDL, which provides language localisation and translation software, said its performance for the first quarter was behind management's expectations. Results for the first three months of the year fell short of the company's guidance reflecting flat revenues in its technology segment and less than hoped bookings in Campaign Management, Analytics and Social Intelligence.
