Material uncertainty over going concern
Following the recurring losses reported by the Company of £5m (2023: £5.2m) the liquidity and regulatory capital forecasts of the Company indicate, in both the base and reasonably possible downsides scenarios, that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations without the support of its ultimate parent company, GAM Holding AG. The forecasts also indicate that GAM Holding AG will not have sufficient funds to meet the financial obligations of itself and its subsidiaries ('the Global Group') without external funding. ... This creates a material uncertainty on the ability of the Global Group to continue as a going concern. Given the Company's reliance on the support of its ultimate parent company, GAM Holding AG, this also creates a material uncertainty on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
