Third Quarter 2023 Trading Statement
Quilter reports another strong quarter from the Quilter channel
and a 20% YoY increase in IFA new business flows onto the
Platform
Quilter plc highlights:
-- Assets under Management and Administration ("AuMA") of
GBP101.4 billion at 30 September 2023 were broadly unchanged on end
June 2023 (GBP101.7 billion). This reflects steady markets, the
usual summer seasonal slowdown in activity combined with moderately
lower persistency levels in the IFA channel due to clients drawing
down savings to maintain living standards in a higher inflationary
environment.
-- Third quarter core business net inflows of GBP1 million
contrasted with net inflows of GBP324 million in the corresponding
period of 2022.
o The Quilter channel delivered another strong quarter.
Year-to-date annualised net inflows as a percentage of opening AuMA
were 16% in the High Net Worth segment and 11% in the Affluent
segment. Discrete Q3 gross inflows from the Quilter channel
increased by 85% year-on-year in the High Net Worth segment and 14%
in the Affluent segment.
o Within Affluent, Quilter channel new business gross inflows
were broadly consistent with the first and second quarter run-rate,
with year-to-date gross new business of GBP2.7 billion, 7% ahead of
2022 levels (GBP2.5 billion), and net inflows of GBP1.3 billion
modestly (1%) ahead of the comparable period.
o The strength of our platform proposition continues to be
demonstrated by increased new business market share, with the
Quilter Platform becoming the largest advised platform in the UK at
the end of the second quarter (Source: Fundscape). Gross inflows
from the IFA channel onto the Platform in the third quarter
increased 20% on the comparable period to GBP1.3 billion (Q3 2022:
GBP1.1 billion). The impact of outflows from industry consolidation
and higher client drawdowns led to a modest outflow in the IFA
channel during the quarter.
o Within High Net Worth, clients' continued portfolio
repositioning given the current macro environment led to an outflow
in the IFA/directly sourced channel, with this partially offset by
net inflows in the Quilter channel.
-- Third quarter non-core net outflows of GBP119 million were
consistent with the quarterly run-rate in the first half, after
adjusting for the one-off fund closures of c.GBP200 million in the
second quarter.
-- Productivity: Quilter channel annualised gross sales per
Quilter Adviser of GBP2.7 million for the third quarter, up 23% on
prior year period.
-- 2023 Q4 trading update will be announced on 24 January 2024
and results for the year ended 31 December 2023 will be announced
on 6 March 2024.

Steven Levin, Chief Executive Officer of Quilter plc,
commented:
"I am pleased to have delivered steady AuMA in our seasonally
slowest quarter in what remains a challenging market for new
business. The Quilter channel continues to drive strong net flows
in both our Affluent and High Net Worth segments. Quilter channel
gross sales per Quilter Adviser remained at robust levels during
the quarter and were over 20% higher than that achieved in the
prior year comparative period. Notably, both gross and net flows
from the Quilter channel in both segments were up on the
comparative quarter a year ago despite overall market flows
expected to have declined over the period.
"We continue to grow our share of new business from IFAs onto
our Platform, with the third quarter experiencing a 20% increase
versus Q3 2022. We were delighted to have the strength of our
competitive position recognised with our recent award for Best
Large Platform as voted by advisers at the Schroders UK Platform
Awards.
"Our open and unbundled business model positions us well from
both a competitive and consumer duty perspective. I look forward to
updating the market on the initiatives we are working on to improve
Platform net flows and the progress we are making on our broader
strategic plans at our Full-Year results in March 2024."
