Aberdeen: AUMA rises to £578.9 billion, fiscal 2026 targets reaffirmed

what happened

Aberdeen Group said its assets under management and administration (AUMA) stood at £578.9 billion as at 30 September 2026, up from £556.0 billion at 31 December 2025. The rise reflected positive markets and acquisitions, according to the update carried by TradingView from RTTNews. Third-quarter net inflows reached £2.5 billion, 32% higher than a year earlier, while year-to-date inflows totalled £9.3 billion, up 58%.

Total customers rose 8% year-on-year to 533,000 in the quarter, and SIPP customers climbed 34%. The company said momentum across the group supports its confidence in hitting its fiscal 2026 goals. Those goals are adjusted operating profit of at least £300 million and net capital generation of roughly £300 million. Aberdeen shares closed at 235.00 pence on the LSE at the last session.

why it matters

For asset managers, revenue tracks the size of assets and client inflows, so AUMA growth and steady net inflows are the key indicators for the sector. Reaffirmed profit and capital targets suggest management expects the current pace to hold through the fiscal year-end, and investors will weigh these figures against peers on the London market.
