Quilter assets increase as quarterly inflows reach 2025 levels

(Alliance News) - Quilter PLC on Wednesday celebrated "strong momentum" in the third quarter, with rising assets under management and net inflows.

The London-based wealth manager's assets under management & administration totalled GBP160.5 billion as of September 30, up from GBP134.8 billion one year prior.

Net inflow increased 29% to GBP2.74 billion from GBP2.12 billion. Core net inflow rose 30% to GBP2.89 billion, which Quilter said was consistent with the first-half run-rate, from GBP2.23 billion.

Reported net inflow for the first nine months of 2026 increased 33% to GBP8.54 billion from GBP6.44 billion, while core net inflow increased 31% to GBP8.85 billion from GBP6.73 billion.

"In the third quarter we maintained our strong momentum across the business," said Chief Executive Officer Steven Levin. "We have delivered core net flows of approximately GBP3 billion in each quarter of 2026, taking year-to-date core net flows to GBP8.9 billion by the end of the third quarter, just short of the record GBP9.1 billion delivered in the whole of 2025.

"We surpassed that milestone early in the fourth quarter.

"This performance reflects the strength of our dual-channel model, the quality of our propositions and our leading service offering."

Looking ahead, he commented: "As the [UK] government considers measures to support economic growth in the upcoming budget, we believe there is a significant opportunity to strengthen the UK's investment culture. Long-term investment is best supported by a stable and predictable policy environment that gives consumers, advisers and providers the confidence to plan for the future.

"We are mindful of the current geopolitical uncertainty. Our advice-led philosophy is designed to support customers through all market conditions...The long-term growth opportunity in UK wealth management remains compelling. With strong momentum across our businesses, market-leading positions in our core markets and a clear focus on client outcomes, we remain well placed to capture that opportunity."

Quilter shares were up 0.4% at 181.00 pence in London on Wednesday morning. They were 1.0% higher at ZAR40.01 each in Johannesburg.
