Significant events
- “In light of the recent market volatility stemming from the announcement of new trade tariffs by the Trump administration on 2 April 2025 and the subsequent pause in implementation announced on 9 April 2025, the Company is closely monitoring global market developments and geopolitical risks. The heightened uncertainty across financial markets may reduce the value or impair the performance of the investments of the funds it manages. It is not currently possible to estimate what the financial impact of this event will be to the Company.”

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
