average funds under management. It excludes regular income
withdrawals and maturities.
Andrew Croft, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am pleased to announce another robust quarter for St. James's
Place, with our advisers attracting GBP3.7 billion of new client
investments to the business, while annualised retention rates
remain strong at 95.3% for the year-to-date.
The demand for trusted, face-to-face financial advice remains as
strong as ever, but client capacity and confidence to commit to
long-term investment continues to be impacted by an environment
characterised by higher interest rates, stubbornly high inflation
and short-term alternatives in the form of cash.
Despite the challenging operating environment, we continue to
generate significant levels of net inflows, once again
demonstrating the ongoing resilience of our business model.
Looking forward, we are beginning to see signs that inflation is
moderating and that the current cycle of interest rate increases
may be reaching a peak, bringing some optimism that this will ease
the pressure on clients and will, in due course, provide for a more
favorable operating environment over time.
As a long-term business, we remain committed to delivering
strong client outcomes, and working towards our 2025
ambitions."
The details of the announcement are attached.
