Funds under management and administration update and notice of results

Rathbone Brothers Plc ("Rathbones") announces a funds under management and administration (FUMA) update for the year ended 31 December 2020.

- Total FUMA at 31 December 2020 were GBP54.7 billion, up 8.6% from GBP50.4 billion at 31 December 2019, reflecting not only strong market movements in the last quarter, but also continuing net inflows and strong investment performance. The FTSE 100 Index decreased by 14.3% at 31 December 2020 compared to the start of the year, while the MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Balanced Index over the same period was largely unchanged.

- GBP44.9 billion in the Investment Management business was up 4.5% from GBP43.0 billion at 31 December 2019, with investment performance now outperforming the MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Balanced Index over 1,3- and 5-year performance periods.

- GBP9.8 billion in Rathbones Unit Trust Management (RUTM) was up 32.0% from GBP7.4 billion at 31 December 2019, reflecting very strong net inflows.

- Total net inflows across the group in 2020 were GBP2.1 billion (2019: GBP0.6 billion), representing 4.2% of opening FUMA (2019: 1.3%).

- Gross organic inflows in Investment Management were consistent at GBP3.3 billion in 2020 compared to GBP3.3 billion in the prior year.

- Acquired inflows of GBP0.6 billion in Investment Management largely reflect the transfer of the court of protection assets from Barclays Wealth (GBP0.4 billion).

- Investment Management outflows for the year totalled GBP3.3 billion (2019: GBP3.9 billion), 14.3% lower than 2019. The last quarter of 2020 was impacted by the withdrawal of a low margin mandate as well as the withdrawal of non-fee-paying and execution only business, amounting to GBP143 million in total.

- Full year net inflows in RUTM were GBP1,498 million (2019: GBP943 million). This represents 20.1% of opening funds under management (2019: 16.7%). RUTM was ranked in 7th position for overall net retail sales during the third quarter of 2020 (source: Pridham Report), maintaining its top 10 position for 6 consecutive quarters.

Although we continue to expect market volatility during 2021 as well as continuing low interest rates, we remain focused on enhancing our services to clients and delivering growth. We will continue to balance this investment with prevailing market conditions, maintaining strict cost discipline and identifying inorganic opportunities that are a strong cultural fit.
