During Q3-2023, average fee rates remained broadly unchanged from the previous quarter.
Performance fees of £3.0 million were earned in the quarter from opportunities arising for added value for some of our enhanced Passive Hedging mandates linked to increases in interest rate differentials.
Record will announce its fourth quarter trading update on 28 April 2023 and its financial results for the year ending 31 March 2023 on 16 June 2023.
