The Morning Briefing: IHT receipts for April-September rise to £4.4bn; UK wealth managers less crypto confident



Good morning and welcome to your Morning Briefing for Tuesday 21 October 2025. To get this in your inbox every morning click here.


IHT receipts for April-September rise to £4.4bn

Data from HM Revenue and Customs today (21 October) revealed that Inheritance Tax (IHT) receipts for April to September 2025 were £4.4bn, which is £100m higher than the same period last year, an increase of 2.3%.

Nucleus has predicted off the back of these results, that the full year receipts may be approximately £8.8bn (£8.2bn in 2024/25).


UK wealth managers less crypto confident than global peers

Only 27% of UK wealth managers feel equipped to advise their clients on crypto, far behind the global average of 47% and the US at 63%.

This is according to research from Avaloq which also found 33% of UK wealth managers express interest in incorporating crypto and digital assets in their investment proposals compared to 60% globally, and 79% in the US.


We need to entertain people to get them investing

For about 24 hours at the start of October, I went viral talking about investing. Tough to know what exactly counts as viral, but I reckon 3.5m views on TikTok counts, writes 7IM head of equity strategy Ben Kumar.

The clip was me doing the business news on LBC radio with Tom Swarbrick. I’ve been doing it for close to fourteen years now (5.25pm every evening, if you fancy tuning in).

When I started doing the news slot, TikTok was still five years away from existing, and over that time, I’ve covered everything from conflicts to COVID to crypto.

What I (and my man Chris Justham) always try to do is to make things relevant and relatable. Sometimes we fail, and sometimes, we’ll say something which just happens to strike the right chord at the right time.

Stat Attack

41%

of respondents reported high concern over increased legal or regulatory risks.

12%

of employees said they were unconcerned about the regulatory shift.

34%

Did You See?

The Financial Conduct Authority has warned that financial crime oversight among corporate finance firms shows significant gaps.

A recent FCA survey found that two-thirds of corporate finance firms not required to submit financial crime returns may be falling short of money laundering rules.

Corporate finance firms, which help businesses raise capital by connecting them with investors and lenders, are vital to the UK economy, making effective financial crime controls essential.

The FCA noted that 11% of firms surveyed had no documented business-wide risk assessment, a requirement under the Money Laundering Regulations. Without this, firms risk exposing themselves and the wider market to money laundering, fraud and other forms of financial crime.

Momodou Musa Touray has the full story.
