Andrew Croft, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"In a challenging external environment, I am pleased to report another strong
quarter for St. James's Place. At times like these, the focus of our advisers
is to remain close to their clients and provide them with timely, personal,
and trusted advice that helps them consider and manage near-term pressures
while maintaining a long-term mindset. This has underpinned gross inflows of
£4.05 billion, only modestly lower versus a record comparative period in
2021. Retention has remained very strong, supporting net inflows of £2.19
billion and contributing to funds under management closing the period at
£143.14 billion.

 

Although we face an uncertain geopolitical and macroeconomic backdrop, the
Partnership remains critically placed to help clients plan, save and invest
for the future, building confidence in their long-term finances. Our business
has proven its strength over time and this, together with our resilient
financial model, means that we expect 2022 to be another year of good progress
towards the 2025 goals we have set, and we are comfortable with consensus
expectations for new business and our financial performance for the year."
