The firm, which recorded positive net flow in all quarters of the year, noted that the effect of declining market conditions on asset values outweighed the positive net flows.
Net flows were 4.8% at Group level for the full year and reached an annualised level of 6.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.
The company’s group revenue stood at £122.2m, up 3.4% compared with the last fiscal. This was led by increased average FuM and the impact of the purchase of Lloyds Channel Islands business by the company.
For the year ended on 30 June 2022, Brooks Macdonald’s statutory profit after tax reached £23.4m, up 19.4% from £19.6m a year ago.
