BROOKS MACDONALD GROUP PLC

Quarterly Announcement of Funds under Management

"Eighth successive quarter of positive net flows"

Brooks Macdonald Group plc ("Brooks Macdonald" or the "Group") today publishes a n update on Funds under Management ("FUM") for its third quarter ended 31 March 2023 .

Net flows remained positive at GBP0.4 billion for the quarter and investment performance continued to be positive despite volatile markets. These combined to give an increase of 3.5% in total FUM in the quarter, ending the period at GBP16.8 billion (31 December 2022: GBP16.2 billion). This is 7.2% ahead of the Group total at the beginning of the financial year (30 June 2022: GBP15.7 billion).

-- Group net flows remained positive at GBP0.4 billion, equivalent to an annualised level of 9.2% for the quarter. The corresponding annualised figure for the nine months to 31 March was 6.1%, in line with full year guidance given at the interim results

-- The strong net flows were driven by Platform MPS and, within that, the Group's B2B offering BM Investment Solutions ("BMIS") which broke GBP1bn FUM for the first time

-- The overall pipeline remains healthy although, as previously guided, market conditions are continuing to affect conversion times

-- Underlying business performance remains in line with the Group's recent guidance, subject to further market movements .

Andrew Shepherd, CEO of Brooks Macdonald commented:

"I am delighted to report another strong quarter for Brooks Macdonald, despite market conditions, with net flows reaching a level last seen five years ago, demonstrating the ongoing success of our strategy in action. I am grateful to our clients, our network of intermediaries, and in particular our people, whose commitment and focus on our clients make these results possible."
