Donald Brown, senior investment manager at Brewin Dolphin, comments on NatWest Group's third-quarter results: NatWest has beaten expectations in today's results, underlining the turnaround in fortunes for the UK's major banks over the last 12 months on the back of a stronger UK economy. The bank has largely navigated the pandemic well and, with increased profits, a strong capital position, and a brighter outlook ahead, NatWest appears to be in a good place.
