First-pass take

Traditional wealth management firm with zero AI exposure or technology leverage. Operating expenses grew 11.2% YoY while revenues grew only 6.9%, compressing operating margin from 7.2% to 3.8%. Profit surge (64% YoY) driven by £0.97m Euroclear dividends, not operational improvement. FCA compliance burden (Consumer Duty, Voluntary Requirements) creates structural headwinds.
