Investec Annual Results FY2025
"We are pleased to report a strong performance in a volatile operating environment, with the Group generating a Return on Equity of 13.9%, in line with guidance provided in May 2024. Pre-provision adjusted operating profit grew 7.8% surpassing £1 billion for the first time in our history, demonstrating the underlying strength of our differentiated client franchises. We have maintained robust capital and liquidity levels, positioning us well to support our clients and drive sustainable growth.
The Group has successfully executed the strategy to simplify and focus the business as communicated at our capital markets day (CMD) in 2019. This resulted in a 200bps structural improvement in Group returns and created a strong foundation to power future growth.
We are scaling and leveraging our client franchises, allocating capital with discipline and investing in clearly defined growth initiatives to enhance our existing platforms. We expect to generate incremental returns of c.200bps over the next five years, resulting in a ROE around the upper end of the upgraded medium-term target range.
I would like to thank our colleagues for their dedication, our clients for partnering with us, and our shareholders for their continued support."
