Funds under management and administration (FUMA) update for the year ended 31 December 2022 and notice of results

Rathbones Group Plc ("Rathbones") delivered a further quarter of sustained net inflows with discretionary and managed net inflows totalling GBP347 million in Q4 2022 (an annualised growth rate of 3.1%) at the end of a challenging year for investors.

- Discretionary and managed net inflows were resilient in the year at GBP1.3 billion (2021: GBP1.8 billion), representing a growth rate of 2.6% (2021: 4.1%).

   -     Discretionary service net inflows totalled GBP0.9 billion (2021: GBP1.3 billion). 

- Net inflows into our multi-asset fund range were strong, totalling GBP0.4 billion and equating to net growth for the year of 20% (2021: GBP0.5 billion).

- Total FUMA were GBP60.2 billion at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: GBP68.2 billion), reflecting continuing net inflows offset by a negative market movement over the year.

- GBP45.1 billion in the Investment Management business was down 10.2% from GBP50.3 billion at 31 December 2021, in line with the MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Balanced Index which also decreased 10.2% over the year.

- GBP11.0 billion in Rathbone Funds, was down from GBP13.0 billion at 31 December 2021, with continued market volatility impacting market performance and investor behaviour across the industry. Despite significant outflows across the wider asset management sector, net outflows in our single strategy fund range remained low at GBP0.4 billion in the year, representing 4.5% of opening FUMA (2021: net inflows of GBP1.2 billion).

- GBP4.1 billion in Saunderson House, was down from GBP4.9 billion at 31 December 2021, with net outflows of GBP0.2 billion (2021: nil) in line with expectations. The integration of Saunderson House is progressing in line with plan, with new propositions launched during the year beginning to be taken up by clients in the fourth quarter.

- Successful delivery of the first phases of our digital transformation programme, supporting greater efficiency and improving client and investment manager experiences.

Outlook

Whilst economic uncertainties are expected to prevail into 2023, we will remain focused on client engagement and delivery on our strategic priorities. Benefits from ongoing investment in our digital capability and wider financial planning propositions will further enable organic growth. Our strong balance sheet and clear direction means we remain well-placed to consider inorganic growth opportunities.

Notice of results

Our preliminary statement of annual results for the year ended 31 December 2022 will be published on Wednesday, 1 March 2023. A presentation to analysts will be held on the same day.

(1) Service Level Transfers represent client FUMA which has transferred from one service to another within the group during the period.

   (2)   Annualised net growth in flows calculated as net flows/opening FUMA. 

(3) Our continued review of Saunderson House data definitions and new business disclosures has identified the need for a further restatement of our Q3 YTD position, driven by alignment of Saunderson House practices with Rathbones. Net flows previously reported at Q3 2022 were understated by GBP40m and market performance was overstated by GBP40m. This has now been reflected in the YTD table above.
