Rathbones Group Plc
fourth quarter trading update
funds under management and administration ("FUMA") update for the year ended
31 december 2023 and notice of results.
- Total FUMA, including Investec Wealth & Investment (IW&I), reached
£105.3 billion at 31 December 2023 (30 September 2023: £100.7 billion, 31
December 2022: £60.2 billion) consisting of:
- £48.0 billion in Rathbone Investment Management (RIM) (31 December
2022: £45.1 billion).
- £42.2 billion in IW&I (31 December 2022: £nil).
- £1.3 billion in Saunderson House (31 December 2022: £4.1 billion) as
FUMA in that entity continues to migrate as planned to Rathbones investment
propositions.
- £13.8 billion in Rathbone Asset Management (RAM, formerly Rathbone Unit
Trust Management) (31 December 2022: £11.0 billion).
- Total net flows in wealth management were flat in the quarter as positive
inflows in Rathbones offset anticipated outflows in IW&I:
- Rathbones discretionary and managed net inflows for the quarter totalled
£0.4 billion.
- Net outflows in IW&I were £0.3 billion, reflecting the anticipated
impact of investment manager departures that predominantly occurred prior to
the announcement of the combination with Rathbones. Since then, investment
manager turnover has been low, engagement with colleagues at IW&I has been
very positive, and integration work remains on track.
- Net inflows into our multi-asset fund range, comprising both direct and
managed solutions via in-house funds, totalled £0.6 billion in the quarter.
Net outflows in RAM single strategy funds of £0.1 billion were resilient
against the wider asset management industry backdrop.
- Market and investment performance added £4.9 billion to FUMA in the
quarter.
Outlook
Economic uncertainties are expected to persist in 2024, however, Rathbones
will continue to remain focused on client engagement as we deliver toward our
key strategic objectives.
Until the IW&I business is fully integrated, the existing client billing
dates of each of the investment management businesses will be maintained. The
principal charging dates for Rathbone Investment Management clients are 5
April, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December. The principal charging dates in
2024 for IW&I are 29 February, 31 May, 31 August and 30 November.
Rathbones begins 2024 as an enlarged group that remains well-positioned to
take advantage of both benefits of scale and future growth opportunities.
Notice of results
Our preliminary statement of annual results for the year ended 31 December
2023 will be published on
Wednesday, 6 March 2024. A presentation to analysts will be held on the same
day.
