First Quarter 2026 Trading Statement

Quilter reports record quarterly core net inflows, exceeding £3 billion for the first time.
Q1 core net inflows increased 35% on the prior year period and represented 9% (annualised) of opening AuMA.

Quilter plc highlights:

Group Assets under Management and Administration ("AuMA"): £141.9 billion at 31 March 2026. Record reported net inflows of £3.0 billion were largely offset by market movements due to geopolitical events around the quarter end. The recovery in markets in recent weeks has led to a meaningful uplift in AuMA from the end March level.

First quarter flows:

Steven Levin, Chief Executive Officer of Quilter plc, commented:

"I'm really pleased with Quilter's continued momentum in the first quarter of 2026, building upon our very strong end to 2025. We delivered a record quarter for net inflows, surpassing the £3 billion core net inflow threshold for the first time, with this representing 9% of opening assets (on an annualised basis) versus 8% for Q1 2025 and 2025 as a whole.

"I am particularly delighted with the continued momentum demonstrated by our Platform with net inflows 23% higher in the first quarter of 2026. Net inflows in each month exceeded the comparable period in 2025, and ahead of the tax year end in March, we delivered our highest ever monthly level of gross flows. This performance was further supported by the continued growth of our WealthSelect MPS, the largest in the market, which achieved AUM of £26.0 billion by the end of March, an increase of 35% year-on-year.

"Our High Net Worth segment delivered much higher levels of new business in the first quarter compared to the recent quarterly run-rate which in turn contributed to higher levels of net inflows of £214 million, around 80% higher than the corresponding period of 2025.

"We are mindful of the current geopolitical uncertainty. Our advice-led philosophy is designed to support customers through all market conditions. Our consistent strong performance reflects our customers' recognition of the quality of our service and propositions, together with the strength of our distribution capabilities. The UK Wealth market continues to offer meaningful long-term secular growth opportunities, and, as our flow momentum demonstrates, we are delivering on that."
