PRESS RELEASE
23 October 2025
STRONG NEW BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT RETURNS DRIVE FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT PAST
£200 BILLION
St. James's Place plc ('SJP') today issues an update on new business inflows
and funds under management for the three months ended 30 September 2025.
Q3 2025 Q3 2024
£'Billion £'Billion
Gross inflows 5.70 4.40
Net inflows 1.76 0.89
Closing funds under management 212.36 184.40
Year-to-date funds under management retention rate (annualised)(1) 95.2% 94.6%
Year-to-date net inflows/opening funds under management (annualised) 3.9% 2.2%
(1) Throughout this press release our retention rate is calculated allowing
for surrenders and part-surrenders. It excludes regular income withdrawals and
maturities.
Mark FitzPatrick, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am pleased to report another strong quarter for new business, which
underlines the power of our advice-led business model and the value clients
place in the long-term, trusted relationships they have with our advisers.
Gross inflows for the third quarter were £5.7 billion, up 30% on Q3 2024,
reflecting both strong demand for financial advice and high levels of client
engagement and activity ahead of the implementation of our new simple,
comparable charging structure in late August. High retention of funds under
management has driven net inflows to £1.8 billion, up 98%.
Our investment proposition has delivered strong performance on behalf of our
clients, with year-to-date returns representing 12% of opening funds under
management on an annualised basis. Together with net inflows, this has
resulted in record funds under management of £212.4 billion at 30 September
2025, up 12% year-to-date and passing the £200 billion milestone for the
first time.
We were pleased to implement our new simple, comparable charging structure
over the August bank holiday weekend, bringing to a close almost two years of
effort on this significant programme of work. Completion of this programme has
unlocked our ability to innovate our investment proposition for the benefit of
our clients, enabling us to launch our Polaris Multi-Index range of funds
earlier this week. These implement our active asset allocation expertise
through index-tracking funds, and broaden the range of investments available
for clients.
The macroeconomic environment presents a more uncertain picture for UK
consumers amid soft economic growth, stubborn inflation and heightened
speculation around the forthcoming Autumn Budget. Against this background, our
advisers remain focused on supporting and guiding clients so that they
continue making the right long-term decisions to secure their financial
futures. This builds trust and strengthens relationships, underpinning our
long-term success. Notwithstanding this, with the third quarter having
benefited from unseasonally high levels of client engagement and activity, and
with the consumer environment uncertain, flows in the final quarter may
therefore be less strong by comparison.
As the clear home of trusted financial advice in the UK, we continue to focus
on delivering for our growing client base and all our other stakeholders."
