SJP reported that adjusted profit after tax also fell to £224.4m from £235.8m.

Mark FitzPatrick, chief executive officer at SJP, said: “During the period, our advisers supported clients through a complex and evolving environment.

“Looking forward, we remain confident in the long-term outlook for financial advice, which is underpenetrated in the UK.”
