Alex Scott, CEO, said:

I am pleased to report another strong quarter of inflows on to our platform. Our gross inflows for the first half year of the financial year were our best ever at £4.07bn, with outflows remaining low, and lower than the first half of financial year 2021. This resulted in a 16% increase in net inflows for the first half of the financial year 2022 (£2.68bn), compared to the first half of financial year 2021 (£2.31bn).

Our net inflows for the quarter (£1.40bn) were 4% lower than the same quarter in financial year 2021 (£1.47bn). However, the net flows for this quarter were impacted by the timing of Easter and the resultant number of days prior to tax year end in April 2022 when compared to the prior year. Overall, these results demonstrate the resilience of our platform business model through different market conditions.

Despite strong net inflows, our FUD reduced overall to £53.50bn. This is the result of unexpected, and continuing, geo-political events impacting stock markets. This has a corresponding impact on our revenue.

We are mindful of the challenging economic outlook and the impact of inflationary pressures on our cost base. However, we continue to invest in our people and to develop our market leading proprietary software for the Transact platform and the Time4Advice adviser back office system, in order to deliver the high quality service standards for which we are renowned.

We look forward to reporting our half year results on 26 May 2022.
