- Paul Hartley FCA
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, I 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 I have performed, I 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
- “New business for the period on Aegon was over £20 million and Platform One was just under £8 million which the Board consider a satisfactory increase of funds under management totalling £950 million”
- “On 5th June 2025, the VT Chelsea Managed Funds marked their 8th anniversary. All four of the funds are top quartile since launch. The Monthly Income fund was 2/136 in its sector.”
- “The total AUA for these funds increased to £203.2m, a rise from £171m last year. This is 18% growth in AUA. The funds continue to enjoy regular inflows.”
- “The fees associated to the funds are now £451,541 up from £346,917 which is an increase of 30%. This is a very positive number and reflects the move to become the IM.”
- “From the 3rd of March CFS became the investment manager on the funds having previously been the investment adviser. This should lead to an increase in fees going forward as above. The investment team has adapted well to the new role. Also CFS is now a MIFID firm and our capital adequacy has increased.”
- “There are no capital commitments as at 30 June 2025 (None at 30 June 2024).”

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
