Trading Update and Quarterly Announcement of Funds under Management

Notice of Full Year results

"Strong positive net flows in Q4, up to an annualised rate of 6.7%"

Brooks Macdonald Group plc ("Brooks Macdonald" or the "Group") today publishes a trading update and its quarterly announcement of Funds under Management ("FUM") for the fourth quarter of its financial year ended 30 June 2022.

Trading Update

The Group had a positive fourth quarter, benefiting from its strong client and intermediary relationships and resilient business model. The Group anticipates full year results in line with market expectations, adjusted for recent market movements .

While the pipeline for FY23 is strong, conversion times continue to be affected by ongoing market uncertainty.

Quarterly Announcement of Funds under Management

The Group recorded positive net flows in the quarter of GBP0.3bn or 1.7%, an annualised rate of 6.7%. This was offset by declining global markets, resulting in an overall 5.9% reduction in the Group's closing FUM to GBP15.7bn (31 March 2022: GBP16.7bn). Highlights in the quarter included:

-- UKIM Discretionary delivered net inflows in the quarter of GBP0.3 billion, corresponding to annualised net flows of 10.8%. Platform MPS and BMIS continued to build momentum, with combined annualised net flows of 45.6% for the quarter.

-- Investment performance for the quarter delivered an FUM reduction of GBP1.3bn or 7.6%, in line with the MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Balanced Index.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2022, the Group achieved positive net flows of GBP0.8bn or 4.8%, representing an upswing of GBP1.1bn from the net flows recorded in FY21. This was offset by the market downturn, leading to an overall decrease in the Group's closing FUM of 4.8% from the start of the financial year (30 June 2021: GBP16.5bn).

Andrew Shepherd, CEO of Brooks Macdonald commented:

"I am delighted to report our fifth consecutive quarter of positive net flows, bringing our net flows rate up to 6.7% on an annualised basis. This demonstrates sustained momentum and the robustness of our business model. Against the backdrop of declining markets, it is more important than ever to stay connected with our clients and intermediaries, and I am proud of how our people have made a difference for them and helped deliver such strong results."
