Stephanie Miller, CEO of Intertrust, commented:
"The first quarter of 2019 started with modest revenue growth and EBITA margin in line with our expectations. We are continuing to expand our Funds business and have increased our revenues in Capital Markets, our strategic growth areas which together represent almost half of our business. We saw revenue growth in the Americas and Rest of the World segments, while revenue in Western Europe was in line with the same quarter last year.

"We are on track with executing on our strategy: we expanded into Canada, announced the acquisition of ABN AMRO's escrow and settlement business, broadened our portfolio of services by introducing fund finance services in the UK - a specialised Capital Markets service - and obtained a license to offer fund administration services in Ireland. More importantly, we are transforming the company by injecting technology into our operations and client service such as the launch of IRIS, our global client portal. I am excited about the agreement with Viteos that we announced last month, as our collaboration enables us to continue our journey to become the leading tech-enabled corporate and fund solutions provider."
