RNS Number : 0350N  Rathbones Group PLC  18 January 2023

 

Rathbones Group Plc

 

Funds under management and administration (FUMA) update for the year ended 31
December 2022 and notice of results

 

Rathbones Group Plc ("Rathbones") delivered a further quarter of sustained net
inflows with discretionary and managed net inflows totalling £347 million in
Q4 2022 (an annualised growth rate of 3.1%) at the end of a challenging year
for investors.

 

-    Discretionary and managed net inflows were resilient in the year at
£1.3 billion (2021: £1.8 billion), representing a growth rate of 2.6% (2021:
4.1%).

-     Discretionary service net inflows totalled £0.9 billion (2021:
£1.3 billion).

-     Net inflows into our multi-asset fund range were strong, totalling
£0.4 billion and equating to net growth for the year of 20% (2021: £0.5
billion).

 

-    Total FUMA were £60.2 billion at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021:
£68.2 billion), reflecting continuing net inflows offset by a negative market
movement over the year.

-    £45.1 billion in the Investment Management business was down 10.2%
from £50.3 billion at 31 December 2021, in line with the MSCI PIMFA Private
Investor Balanced Index which also decreased 10.2% over the year.

 

-    £11.0 billion in Rathbone Funds, was down from £13.0 billion at 31
December 2021, with continued market volatility impacting market performance
and investor behaviour across the industry. Despite significant outflows
across the wider asset management sector, net outflows in our single strategy
fund range remained low at £0.4 billion in the year, representing 4.5% of
opening FUMA (2021: net inflows of £1.2 billion).

 

-    £4.1 billion in Saunderson House, was down from £4.9 billion at 31
December 2021, with net outflows of £0.2 billion (2021: nil) in line with
expectations. The integration of Saunderson House is progressing in line with
plan, with new propositions launched during the year beginning to be taken up
by clients in the fourth quarter.

 

-    Successful delivery of the first phases of our digital transformation
programme, supporting greater efficiency and improving client and investment
manager experiences.

 

Outlook

Whilst economic uncertainties are expected to prevail into 2023, we will
remain focused on client engagement and delivery on our strategic priorities.
Benefits from ongoing investment in our digital capability and wider financial
planning propositions will further enable organic growth. Our strong balance
sheet and clear direction means we remain well-placed to consider inorganic
growth opportunities.

 

Notice of results

Our preliminary statement of annual results for the year ended 31 December
2022 will be published on Wednesday, 1 March 2023. A presentation to analysts
will be held on the same day.

(1)   Service Level Transfers represent client FUMA which has transferred
from one service to another within the group during the period.

(2)   Annualised net growth in flows calculated as net flows/opening FUMA.

(3)   Our continued review of Saunderson House data definitions and new
business disclosures has identified the need for a further restatement of our
Q3 YTD position, driven by alignment of Saunderson House practices with
Rathbones. Net flows previously reported at Q3 2022 were understated by £40m
and market performance was overstated by £40m. This has now been reflected in
the YTD table above.
