Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“While there can be no absolute certainty, having considered the current results of the Company, the potential ongoing impact of market volatility (including plausible downside scenarios impacting revenues, expenses and financial resilience), and the current liquidity, net assets and regulatory capital surplus of the Company, the Directors are satisfied that it remains a reasonable assumption that the Company should have sufficient resources meet its liabilities as they fall due and would therefore be able to continue to operate as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “During 2024, the shareholders of Balanced Commercial Property Trust ("BCPT") accepted a cash acquisition offer from a private investment firm. Subsidiaries of the Group act as asset manager, portfolio manager and the Company acts as AIFM for BCPT. Following the acceptance of the cash offer by shareholders in BCPT, the appointment of the Group's subsidiary company as asset manager will be terminated by virtue of the appointment of the AIFM having been terminated. The revenue recognised by the Company from BCPT in 2024 was £5,200,000, however, a majority of this revenue is delegated to another Group subsidiary who acts as asset manager, with the Company retaining circa £550,000 in 2024. AUM as at 31 December 2024 was £1.0bn.”

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
