Alex Scott, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

''I am very pleased with the strength of our business performance during the financial year ended 30 September 2022.

 

The Transact platform is utilised by clients and advisers for long term financial planning. Therefore, Transact platform outflows have remained relatively stable during the course of the year. This has contributed to our continued very high retention rate of funds under direction on the Transact platform of 94% for the financial year.

 

At a time of economic uncertainty, clients rely even more on the support and knowledge of their financial adviser. Our business model is centred on providing long term support for our clients and their financial advisers. We will continue to advance the development of our proprietary software, and we will train users in how to best use the extensive functionality now available. All of this will enable our clients, with their advisers, to stay on track with their long term financial plans.

 

We are mindful of the difficult economic environment and the significant volatility in asset markets, however we expect the performance of the Transact platform to remain robust  during the forthcoming financial year, with new clients and advisers joining, and continued resilient flows onto the Transact platform.''
