Positive growth in both AUM and capital inflows in the years before the pandemic supported steady revenue growth by providing funds with additional capital to invest.

However, UK-based investment funds were hurt by the loss of passporting rights in the EU as, since Brexit, UK financial regulations may differ from those in the EU financial system, raising costs.
