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

Audit & accounting basis

- Mercer & Hole LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the limited liability partnership's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2024 was a good year for investors, in continuation of the broad positive macro trends experienced in 2023, particularly interest rate reductions, followed by a pause, in line with the consensus view that growth was strong, particularly in the US. Markets improved further late in the year after the US election, triggering the expectation for a period of economic exuberance.”
- “Clients' portfolios had a good year, with 2024 gains ranging from 15% - 17%, depending on each client's equity beta exposures.”
- “We expect 2025 to be another positive year, even though it has started with significant levels of volatility, caused by a US imposed global trade reorganization using import tariffs. We expect that over the remaining of 2025 the impacts will become clearer, and markets might likely return to normalcy.”
- “We continue to perceive Almar's main business risk as threats that could disrupt our ability to communicate with the clients, the markets and the fiduciary banks, like cyber-attacks or continued lack of access to internet communications.”
- “We believe we have taken significant steps to mitigate cyber risks in 2019 - 2020 and continue to do so, maintaining high protective measures. In addition, we believe that Almar policy of being 100% cloud based is the safest. We have not a single issue to report in terms of the cyber threats during 2024.”
