Executive summary
AUMA was £578.9bn at 30 September, up 4% from £556.0bn at year-end, reflecting positive markets and acquisitions.

Outlook and guidance
FY 2026 targets remain adjusted operating profit of at least £300m and net capital generation of ~£300m; cost guidance is unchanged.
Investment revenue margin guidance remains 19%; three-year equity performance was stable, with improvement continuing in selected strategies.
Adviser’s return to net inflows is taking longer than anticipated; platform and service changes are intended to better position the business for the evolving IFA market.
No near-term ii pricing change is anticipated following the 2026 reset; asset growth is supporting operating leverage.
