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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have assessed the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This assessment includes the impact of ongoing international conflicts. The Company has ongoing arrangements with the parent company Kartesia Management SARL for the provision of investment advisory services and the Directors expect these to continue. Given the 5.4bn of assets under management held as at 31 December 2025 by Kartesia Management SARL, the Directors consider that Kartesia Management SARL will be able to maintain the cost plus arrangement with the Company, and the Company will have sufficient liquid resources to cover its costs and pay its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on these factors, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2025, the group is focusing on deploying capital across its existing funds, while also exploring new investment themes that align with its long-term growth strategy. Additionally, the group remains actively engaged in capital raising efforts, with the successful closing of the Sixth Generation of Kartesia Credit Opportunities Fund at 1.3bn.”
- “the group has moved to new offices in London to accommodate the growth of the team in the UK.”
