Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company is operating in an environment which is impacted by the geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine that contributes to market uncertainty and volatility. While the Company benefits from an established, stable income stream from its funds, and has a number of its flagship funds which are currently successfully fundraising, it continues to face challenges which may impact its performance. Management has continued to model a number of different scenarios over the next 3 years which address risks to the Company's ability to raise new commitments for existing and new funds and to control its costs. The assumptions modelled are based on estimated potential impact of continuing macro-economic uncertainty and reasonable possible downside levels of new commitments being raised, along with management's proposed responses over the course of the forecast period. The base case scenario includes the benefits of actions already taken by management to mitigate the trading downsides brought by global economic uncertainties to carefully control operating costs and generate operating efficiencies. Under this base case scenario, the Company expects to generate positive operational cash flows over the forecast period and continue to have sufficient headroom relative to the funding available to it, while benefiting from continued shareholder and Group support.

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
