Andrea Montague, CEO of Brooks Macdonald, commented:

"Total FUMA increased by 3% in the quarter led by positive investment performance to £19.7 billion. Q1 net outflows of £49 million improved by over 50% compared to Q1 2025, with Platform MPS delivering its strongest quarter of net inflows in over two years.

"We are continuing to execute against our 'Reignite Growth' strategy - enhancing client service, broadening client reach and driving efficiencies."

·    Total FUMA increased by 3% to £19.7 billion (30 June 2025: £19.2 billion).
