Fourth quarter core net inflows increased 21% year on year to £2.4bn at wealth manager and Financial Planner Quilter, representing 7% of opening assets under management.
Assets under management and administration rose 5% (from 30 September) to £141.2bn, with market movements contributing £4.1bn.
Assets at 31 December represent a growth of 18% over the year.
The growth in net inflows was driven by Quilter’s affluent segment, with the Quilter Platform having a strong quarter. The platform reported net inflows of £2.4bn in comparison to £1.9bn in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 26%.
The increase in flows into the platform were driven by both internal and external flows. IFA channel gross inflows increased 31% year-on-year, with net inflows rising 29% to £1.63bn.
Quilter channel gross and net inflows onto the Platform increased 22% and 18% respectively year-on-year.
The Quilter platform saw strong inflows from advisers throughout 2025, ending the year with an increase of around 92% full-year-on-full-year.
Steven Levin, CEO of Quilter, said: “Our core business delivered record full year net inflows of £9.1 billion in 2025 with quarterly inflows consistently above £2 billion. This reflects the strength of our award-winning platform where assets finished the year at £105 billion, making us the first discrete UK advised platform to surpass £100 billion of assets under administration.”
Quilter’s high net worth segment saw a slightly weaker quarter due to the impact of outflows around the UK Budget. The high net worth segment reported £17m in net outflows for the quarter. Quarterly gross inflows were £678m for the quarter, broadly consistent with the rest of the year.
The high net worth segment reported inflows for FY 2025 of £686m, representing 2% of opening assets and a rise of15% year-on-year.
Quilter channel annualised gross sales per Quilter adviser were £3.7m in the fourth quarter, around 12% higher year-on-year.
Quilter will report its full financial results for the year on 4 March.
Quilter recently rebranded its app-based fintech NuWealth as Quilter Invest as part of its preparations for the FCA’s new Targeted Support proposals. Quilter Invest is the wealth manager’s platform designed to support clients in the earlier stage of their investment journey, while also offering a proposition to advisers who have clients who may not be ready for full financial advice.
Quilter acquired NuWealth for an undisclosed sum in September 2024. At the time the wealth manager said the acquisition would open up new opportunities in hybrid digital advice.
