Mike Kellard, chief executive of AXA Wealth, said the firm had worked hard to achieve the results in the current economic climate.
He said: "While AXA Wealth's Q3 results are strong, we have had to work very hard in the current climate; not only have we had to focus on making our RDR proposition one of the most comprehensive and compelling in the market, we have needed to further strengthen our relationship with key advisers and to explore ways to make working with us as easy as possible.
"We are grateful for the support that our adviser partners have given us against a challenging economic background."
