Quilter assets increase as quarterly inflows reach 2025 levels

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 £160.5 billion as of September 30, up from £134.8 billion one year prior.

Net inflow increased 29% to £2.74 billion from £2.12 billion. Core net inflow rose 30% to £2.89 billion, which Quilter said was consistent with the first-half run-rate, from £2.23 billion.

Reported net inflow for the first nine months of 2026 increased 33% to £8.54 billion from £6.44 billion, while core net inflow increased 31% to £8.85 billion from £6.73 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 £3 billion in each quarter of 2026, taking year-to-date core net flows to £8.9 billion by the end of the third quarter, just short of the record £9.1 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.
