CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2018
I am pleased to report that good progress continues to be made with the development of the business; a number of key initiatives have begun to bear fruit and both the financial advisory, and the investment management sides of our business, have continued to grow organically.
Investment Management
The success of the investment management business is key to the profitability of the Group and I am pleased to report that the level of funds being managed on a discretionary basis ("FUM") has continued to rise for the 16(th) consecutive quarter, albeit at a somewhat slower pace in recent months when market falls have increased investor anxiety and also had an adverse impact on valuations. It is worthy of note that our disciplined approach to investment diversification and the judicious use of currency hedging has enabled our funds to fair better than many as markets fell. As shown in the table below, the level of FUM has risen by 26% (GBP196 million) over the last year and by over 190% (GBP617 million) since 30 September 2016.

------------ ------------ --------
Tavistock Wealth's current average gross revenue is 0.51% of FUM value per annum and during the six-month period it achieved revenue of GBP2.4 million. This compares favourably with revenue of GBP3.6 million for the full year to 31 March 2018.
Now that Tavistock Wealth has an established and successful track record, UK advisory firms outside the ownership of the Group have begun recommending our investment management services to their clients. Whilst still early days, 23 firms have signed terms to do so. To date they have introduced over GBP20 million of inflows. Discussions with many others are ongoing.
Industry recognition continues to improve, and Tavistock Wealth has been a finalist in four national awards so far in 2018, including Money Marketing's Best Investment Fund Group, Growth Investor's Wealth Manager of the Year and Moneyfacts Best Discretionary Fund Manager for which it was commended.
Key Initiatives
1 Protected Products
In May, the Company launched two new protected funds. These are keenly priced, offer the investor daily liquidity and are protected by contractual guarantees provided by Morgan Stanley & Co International plc, one of the world's largest investment companies. These are the ACUMEN Capital Protection Portfolio ("ACPP") and the ACUMEN Income-Protection Portfolio ("AIPP"). These funds provide high watermark capital guarantees to investors, ensuring that the value of the ACPP can never fall below 90% of its highest ever value, and the AIPP (which takes slightly more risk) below 85%. We believe these funds to be unique in the UK market. They have been universally well received, have been very positively reviewed by a recognised industry research analyst and have already attracted more than GBP65 million of inflows. The challenge now is to make these funds available to as wide an audience as possible both within the UK and offshore.
2 Law Society Endorsement
The launch of these protected funds has enabled us to progress with our plans to partner with large scale organisations capable of generating significant fund inflows. The first such partnership is with the Law Society, a 200-year old institution with some 197,000 members. After close consultation with the Law Society, Tavistock has established a specialised business - Tavistock Law - which has been formally endorsed by the Law Society as the preferred provider of investment advice to its members in the fields of Trusts and Court of Protection awards. The new protected products are ideally suited to the needs of Trustees and their beneficiaries. Tavistock Law is the only financial advice business in the UK to have received such an endorsement and we look forward to working closely with our colleagues in the legal profession for the benefit of their clients.
The development of other such partnerships is ongoing, and I look forward to updating you on further strategic alliances in my next report.
3 Smartphone App
Such is the positive response to the new protected products that we have decided to launch a direct to consumer initiative.
Tavistock Wealth will be launching a smartphone app, branded "i-stock". We believe that this will be the first direct to consumer offering providing the ability to open both ISA and investment accounts to invest in a portfolio that benefits from a 90% contractual capital guarantee from one of the world's largest investment banks.
Client accounts will be very low cost (possibly free of charge) without any administration, dealing, entry, exit or other charges applied.
The development of this service is well underway, and we are optimistic of achieving a launch in early 2019.
4 Offshore
Over the past months we have been developing a qualified pipeline of overseas private banks and family offices who have expressed interest in investing in our protected funds. Investment from these entities is anticipated to be on a larger scale than from entities within the UK. We have established a Luxembourg regulated fund structure in order to facilitate such overseas investment - a Reserved Alternative Investment Fund (RAIF). The Tavistock Fund SCA SICAV - RAIF currently has a single sub-fund, the Tavistock Guaranteed Portfolio. This will hold cash together with investments in the ACPP and AIPP referred to above, structured to guarantee the same high watermark 90% protection. The RAIF is in the process of being admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. This will facilitate investment on a global basis via Euroclear, ClearStream and a number of other worldwide trading platforms.
The establishment of these various building blocks gives the Group's investment management business the potential to achieve accelerated and sustained growth.
Advisory
The performance of the Group's advisory businesses is another key area of focus and despite the time and additional resources absorbed as a consequence of the introduction of MiFID II, gross revenues grew by 7% from GBP10.8 million, in the six-month period to 30 September 2017, to GBP11.6 million this period.
The Group's advisory businesses now have approaching 200 individual advisors with some GBP3.5 billion of assets under advice.
Adviser recruitment has proved challenging across the UK market and this has necessitated a greater reliance on the use of external recruitment agencies with a consequent impact on the cost base during the period. However, I am pleased to report that our advisory businesses, and in particular our high net worth business, Tavistock Private Client, have managed to attract a number of promising additions to their teams and we look forward to their contribution being reflected in the future.
Financial Performance
During the period, the Group generated EBITDA of GBP516,000 on gross revenue of GBP14 million (six months to 30 September 2017, EBITDA of GBP137,000 on gross revenue of GBP12.4 million). Cash generated from operations was GBP130,000 (six months to 30 September 2017 cash absorbed by operations was (GBP196,000)). The Company also settled GBP630,000 of deferred consideration obligations.
The Group's cost base grew during the period as the business continued to expand, and as investment was made in the initiatives referred to above. However, measures have now been taken to remove costs where appropriate and we anticipate completing a cost reduction exercise saving over GBP500,000 a year, by December 2018. At the end of the period, the Group had net assets of GBP18.7 million (30 September 2017 GBP18.3 million) which included cash resources of GBP2.17 million (30 September 2017 GBP2.74 million).
The Group's results for the period can be summarised as follows:

Future Prospects
The Company has continued to make great strides with the development of its business and the long-term prospects remain excellent.
Considerable management time has been, and continues to be, committed to advancing the various initiatives described above and as these begin to yield results, we can look forward to reporting accelerating revenues and increased profitability.
On the strength of our continued performance and outlook, the Board currently plans to introduce a dividend stream for the benefit of the Company's shareholders at the year end.
I look forward to updating you on further progress.
