SECOND QUARTER TRADING UPDATE

 

Record plc ('Record' or the 'Company'), the specialist currency and asset manager, is pleased to announce its trading update for the three months ended 30 September 2022 ("Q2-2023").

 

Q2-2023 Highlights

 

·    AUME net inflows of US$6.6 billion during the quarter

·    Performance fees of £0.5 million earned during the quarter

·    Commencement of previously announced Passive Hedging mandate following successful conclusion to final contract negotiations

 

 

Leslie Hill, Chief Executive of Record plc, commented:

 

"Our growth strategy continues to deliver as evidenced by a third consecutive quarter of AUME net inflows and further performance fees of £0.5 million.

 

"Sustained uncertainty in financial markets continues to have only a limited impact on the value of some clients' underlying portfolios in our traditional business for currency products and services.

 

"Conversely, heightened volatility and inflationary pressure underscores the relevance of our products and offers new opportunities for growth and diversification.  Our focus is on ensuring we make the most of such opportunities and I look forward to giving more detail on the progress in our diversification plans at our forthcoming half-year results in November."
