- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“While there can be no absolute certainty, having considered the current results of the Company, the potential ongoing impact of market volatility (including severe but plausible downside scenarios), and the Company's liquidity position, net assets and regulatory capital surplus, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and will therefore be able to continue to operate as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Effective 1 January 2025, the Company entered into a new transfer pricing arrangement with certain UK entities within the Group and the Columbia Threadneedle Investments UK International Limited Group.”
- “In 2025, the Group partnered with State Street Corporation to provide a unified, outsourced global Back Office to reduce complexity, as well as increase economic value and operational efficiencies.”
- “J Rigg resigned on 28 October 2025 from the Board of Directors.”
- “C Wearmouth was appointed to the Board of Directors on 19 May 2025.”
