- 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 world economic outlook appears to be more uncertain than ever, with potential for a trade war with China and ongoing volatility in the EU. Bond yields remain elevated in the UK and US, putting strain on government borrowing, with tax measures yet to fully impact economic growth.”
- “The company remains well diversified within Greystone Funds and Discretionary Model Portfolios, adjusting US exposure. Funds have produced positive returns despite market volatility.”

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
