- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Company acquired the Embark Investment Companies with Variable Capital ("ICVC"), including five Horizon sub-funds from EIL. This internal transfer will enable the smaller Embark ICVC to take advantage of the Company's greater scale to drive improved customer outcomes.”
- “The delivery of the planned migration of the Company's funds to Diligenta's BaNCs platform in August 2025 marked an important strategic milestone.”
- “Project Sparkle was a two-phase initiative delivered in 2025 to enhance the OEIC fund range. Phase 1 replaced Benchmarks on two OEIC funds, thus offering broader ESG integration. This led to divestment from affected sub-funds and the closure of the SW UK Climate Transition Index Equity Tracker Fund due to persistent underperformance and lack of ESG alignment. Phase 2 implemented benchmark, fund name, AMC, and investment manager changes across a further five OEIC funds.”
- “On 27 August 2024, the Board approved the legal transfer of the Horizon sub-funds range from EIL to the Company effective 1 February 2025.”
