Q&A on Arbuthnot Banking Group (ARBB) | 2023 results, strategic choices paying dividends

Arbuthnot Banking Group (LON:ARBB) is the topic of conversation when Hardman & Co analyst Mark Thomas joins DirectorsTalk Interviews.

Mark discusses his recent research note highlighting Arbuthnot’s successful financial year, noting a significant increase in pre-tax profit, operating income and net assets, alongside improvements in earnings per share and dividends. Mark explains how Arbuthnot has strategically positioned itself to thrive in a rising rate environment by adjusting the duration of its securities and increasing fixed-rate SME finance, preparing it for potential rate declines. He touches on the progress made in Arbuthnot's SME financing franchises, with notable profit increases and loan book growth.

Despite a challenging macroeconomic landscape, the bank’s cautious approach has ensured sustained high credit quality with minimal impairments. The discussion also addresses concerns about net interest margins and inflationary pressures on costs, with an emphasis on the conservative management of the bank’s lending practices to mitigate credit risks.

Arbuthnot Banking Group is a holding company for Arbuthnot Latham & Co.; it offers carefully crafted expert private and commercial banking services alongside wealth planning advice from Chartered Wealth Planners and discretionary investment management.

Feature article: Labour’s first Budget - Investors in their sights? Summary ► Budgets are always important for investors. ► The imminent Budget, at the end of October, will be doubly so, because it is the first from the new Labour government, and it has already signalled the need to fill an alleged £22bn black hole, while ruling out changes to more than half the tax base. That implies a lot of the pain will be felt by investors. ► This paper considers the impact of increases in rates for th...

Hardman & Co Monthly: August 2024

Feature article: Solid IICs, cash-consolidating REIFs Since the beginning of 2024, the share prices of Infrastructure Investment Companies (IICs) and Renewable Energy Infrastructure Funds (REIFs) have generally remained lacklustre, failing to recover from the losses experienced in 2023. A significant factor contributing to this trend has been the sharp rise in interest rates since 2021, which has negatively impacted the sector due to the increased yields on “risk-free” 10-year gilts. The recent...

ABG’s 1H'24 results showed the group’s continued evolution to optimise its franchise value. 2023 saw the peak benefits from ABG’s relationship deposit franchise in the recent rising rate environment. Margins could be widened while still giving customers competitive products. 1H’24 profits fell £6m (-21% on 1H’23), as low-cost fixed deposits matured and rolled into higher-rate products. The effect was mitigated by i) strong growth in specialist lending, the result of a multi-year strategy, ii) gr...
