Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “2024 saw GIB AM show resilience in a financial market disrupted throughout the year by volatility and geopolitical instability.”
- “Externally 2024 saw heightened Economic risk and Geopolitical risk. Over half the world's population went to the polls. The war in Ukraine further exacerbated the divide between East & West and the conflict in the Middle East created more tension. Despite these World markets were resilient with a MSCI World index up approximately 20% over the year. Looking forward into 2025, there is always a level of uncertainty. The external environment does seem more benign than the start of 2024. However, the risks mentioned above will still the ability to escalate and affect the financial market.”
