Quilter (LSE:QLT), the UK wealth manager and advice platform group, said core net inflows reached £8.9 billion in the nine months to 30 September, up 31% on the £6.7 billion recorded a year earlier.
That figure sits just below the £9.1 billion Quilter gathered across the whole of 2025, a level chief executive Steven Levin said the business had already "surpassed early in the fourth quarter". The third quarter alone delivered £2.9 billion of core net inflows, consistent with the run-rate seen in the first half of the year. Group assets under management and administration rose 19% year-on-year to £160.5 billion.
The Affluent segment, which includes the Quilter Investment Platform and Quilter Financial Planning, drove much of the growth: quarterly platform net inflows rose 25% year-on-year to £2.6 billion, with inflows from independent financial advisers up 33% and inflows from Quilter's own adviser channel up 10%.
High Net Worth, the discretionary fund management and financial planning business built around Quilter Cheviot, posted quarterly net inflows of £322 million, up 35% year-on-year, with gross inflows of £873 million broadly consistent with the first-half run-rate.
Core business persistency held at 91% year-to-date, and adviser productivity rose 9% year-on-year in the quarter.
"This performance reflects the strength of our dual-channel model, the quality of our propositions and our leading service offering," Levin said, adding that gross inflows increased 22% year-on-year in the quarter while outflow rates stayed stable against first-half levels.
Levin said the UK advice platform market "continues to consolidate around a small number of scale providers", with Quilter "both the largest and fastest growing of these", pointing to the platform's "Platform of the Year" win for a third consecutive year at the Vanguard Platform Awards.
WealthSelect, Quilter's multi-asset managed portfolio service, passed £30 billion in funds under management for the first time during the quarter, which Levin described as the UK's largest such provider.
Levin flagged the upcoming Budget as an opportunity to strengthen the UK's investment culture, saying long-term investment "is best supported by a stable and predictable policy environment", while noting the company remains "mindful of the current geopolitical uncertainty".
