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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion

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 yet plausible downside scenarios impacting revenues, expenses and financial resilience), and the current liquidity, net assets and regulatory capital surplus of the Company, the Directors are satisfied that it remains a reasonable assumption that the Company should have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and would therefore be able to continue to operate as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “The value of AUM decreased from £5,866m as at 31 December 2023 to £5,103m as at 31 December 2024, largely as a result of net outflows in the year.”
• “Revenue decreased by 15% from £25,732,000 in 2023 to £21,889,000 in 2024.”
• “The Company's profit after tax decreased from £7,158,000 to £5,844,000 largely due to the aforementioned decrease in revenue, offset by an increase in finance income driven by interest earned on the Company's loan from a related party increasing from £943,000 in 2023 to £2,755,000 in 2024.”
• “A dividend of £47m was approved and paid during 2024.”
