1621 GMT - Asset Manager Hargreaves Lansdown's significant growth potential is in its younger clientele, which should offset any near-term volatility, Peel Hunt says. "The more interesting element of the results was the falling average age of the client base, with 62% now under the age of 55," the brokerage says. It is ultimately these clients that will drive long-term growth, "generating flows and delivering a higher lifetime value," it says. Peel Hunt maintains a buy rating on the stock with a target price of 1,835 pence, up from 1,810 pence. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
