“After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, the Members have a reasonable expectation that the Partnership has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Partnership's main revenue consists of sub-advisory fees earned from Searchlight US, its sole client. The Partnership's management has determined there is minimal risk associated with such sub-advisory fees and the related collection and expense reimbursement risks because Searchlight US, which manages over $16.4 billion in assets as of 31 December 2024, has a stable revenue stream which it ultimately receives from institutional investors, and the Partnership plays a critical role in providing sub-advisory services on European and other non-US investments. The Partnership therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements.”

Significant events
- “On 27 February 2025, the Partnership applied to the FCA to cancel its regulatory licence with effect from 28 February 2025 as the Partnership determined that its ongoing operating activities non longer constitute regulated activities. As of 24 April 2025, the Partnership is awaiting approval of the application from the FCA.”
- “Subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2024, the Members assessed the potential risks associated with the United States' newly imposed global tariffs and have concluded that these tariffs are not expected to significantly affect the operations of the Partnership or the Group.”

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
