Aberdeen Group has reported that its assets under management and administration (AUMA) have risen 6% in the year to date, to £542.4bn.

The latest figure is up from £511.4bn as of 31 December 2024.

Aberdeen, delivering a Q3 update for the three months to 30 September, reported “strong momentum” in its interactive investor business, with total customers up 14% year-on-year to 492,000, as well as higher daily trading volumes, and Q3 net flows of £1.9bn – a 58% jump year-on-year.

The wealth and investments group also said that its adviser net outflows jumped by 50% (£500,000) on last year (£1bn), which it said were supported by improved service and repricing.

“Over the last quarter we have made good progress against the plan we set out in March,” Aberdeen CEO, Jason Windsor, commented. “Net flows and other key operational metrics improved year-on-year, with increased group AUMA benefiting from positive markets.

“interactive investor has maintained its excellent growth, with transfers and trading activity at record levels and net inflows 58% higher year-on-year. Increasing brand awareness and a range of innovative new products launching soon mean the business is very well positioned to sustain its growth momentum.”

Looking ahead, Aberdeen also revealed it is confident in the outlook for its FY 2026 group targets, of adjusted operating profit above £300m, and net capital generation of £300m.

“We are confident in our prospects as a wealth and investments group, with the growth potential across all three of our businesses reflected in our 2026 targets,” Windsor added.
