- Going concern

“The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing these financial statements. The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out above on pages 2 to 8. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is reliant on the ongoing support of the Group. The Company has received a written commitment from the Group that it will continue to provide funding to enable the Company to continue to operate on a going concern basis. In preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis, the Board has considered the principal risk and uncertainties impacting the Group and has reviewed the Group's assessment of going concern as outlined in the St. James's Place plc Annual Report & Accounts 2024. As a result of its review, the Board concluded that, with the Group's support it was reasonable to expect the Company to continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “SJP has announced planned changes to introduce simple, comparable charging across the Group, including the disaggregation of charges into separate components for advice, product and platform administration and investment management, as well as rebalancing charges so that they better reflect the value that clients see across each element of the Group proposition.”
- “SJP has announced a cost and efficiency programme with the ambition to reduce the Group's addressable cost base by £100 million per annum before tax by 2027, creating the capacity to invest in the business and drive further growth. This programme will include a review of the organisational design across the Group and is anticipated to result in a reduction in the number of employees of the Company and the associated staff costs.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
