Significant events
- “In June 2024, a Skilled Person was appointed to conduct a review and provide a view to the FCA on whether the delivery of ongoing advice services by Appointed Representative firms in the Quilter Financial Planning ("QFP") network was compliant with applicable regulatory requirements.”
- “As the review has progressed, the analysis of our historical data and practices has supported our view that, except in limited cases, where clients have paid for ongoing service, this has been provided... Our best estimate of the cost of undertaking this work, together with potential cost of client remediation (plus interest), amounts to some £8,066,000 and accordingly we have recognised a provision for this amount.”
- “In April 2025, a minimum tariff of 10% was introduced on imports into the US and higher tariffs were introduced on imports to the US from over 50 countries. These tariffs together with reciprocal tariffs raised by other countries have led to increased economic uncertainty and 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
