Bosses at Somerset Capital Management are in line for a much lower payday after profit at the Jacob Rees Mogg-backed emerging markets boutique plunged last year.

Profit in the year to 31 March 2023 fell to £4.2m, nearly half of the £9.1m generated by the business the year before, according to a filing at Companies House.
