Quilter plc
Third Quarter 2021 Trading Statement
Quilter plc reports a strong quarter with substantially improved year-on-year net flows
Business Update
Quilter will be hosting a Capital Markets Day for investors later today which will introduce a reorganisation of the Group into two client focussed segments: High Net Worth ("HNW") and Affluent. Furthermore, assets and flows will be disclosed from the two primary distribution channels of the business: the Quilter channel and the IFA channel. As a result, the Group now discloses flows by these segments and distribution channels. Third quarter flows have been presented in this format on a continuing business basis, excluding the contribution from Quilter International. The sale of Quilter International is still anticipated to complete prior to year-end. Third quarter disclosure on a historic basis is included as an appendix to this release. A full breakdown of quarterly flows on the new reported basis since 1 January 2020 is provided as an appendix to the separate Capital Markets Day announcement, also published today.
Continuing business highlights:
· Assets under Management and Administration ("AuMA") of £108.5 billion at the end of September 2021, with:
o Year-to-date net inflows of £3.0 billion (2020: £1.1 billion).
o Third quarter net inflows of £1.0 billion (2020: £0.1 billion).
· Strong flows onto the Quilter Investment Platform. Year-to-date gross flows of £6.7 billion, up 58% (2020: £4.3 billion) and higher net flows of £2.7 billion, up 142% (2020: £1.1 billion), supported by increased IFA usage of the new Quilter platform with year-to-date net flows up nearly five-fold to £1.4 billion in the IFA channel.
· Stable levels of Defined Benefit to Defined Contribution transfers in the third quarter of £0.2 billion.
Total business highlights:
· AuMA of £129.1 billion at the end of September 2021, with net year-to-date flows of £3.0 billion and third quarter flows of £1.2 billion.

Paul Feeney, CEO of Quilter plc, commented:
"I am delighted with the significant improvement in our third quarter net flows which were up ten-fold to £1.0 billion from £0.1 billion in 2020. Excellent growth in flows from our advisers has been coupled with a very substantial increase in flows from the IFA channel who have taken extremely well to our new platform. Gross flows from the IFA channel onto our UK Platform were 66% year-on-year to £4.8 billion, with net flows up nearly five-fold to £1.4 billion on the comparable period. We look forward to presenting our plans and ambitious targets to drive growth and efficiency across our business at our Capital Markets Day, later this morning."
