Andrea Rossi, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:
"After a strong first half, we have maintained positive momentum, continuing to deliver against our growth priorities.
"Group AUMA increased 3% in the quarter to £365 billion, supported by £1.8 billion of net inflows from open business across Asset Management and Life, reflecting the strength of our business model and investment capabilities.
"Our Asset Management performance was particularly pleasing as we delivered £1.5 billion of net inflows from external clients, with good client demand across asset classes and geographies.
"Despite a volatile macroeconomic environment, we are seeing growing momentum across M&G, as we continue to execute on our strategy and deliver strong long-term value to both clients and shareholders."
Asset Management key highlights:
· Asset Management AUMA of £335 billion, including £176 billion from external clients, up 3% in the quarter and 6% year-to-date (YTD).
· Continued strong net inflows from external clients of £1.5 billion in Q3, bringing the YTD total to £4.1 billion which corresponds to an annualised rate of over 3% of opening external assets.
· Both Institutional and Wholesale franchises in net inflows, delivering £0.8 billion and £0.7 billion respectively in Q3, and £2.7 billion and £1.4 billion YTD.
· Continued client demand across geographies and asset classes, particularly in European public equities, as well as in private and structured credit.
· Momentum expected to continue in coming months, as we begin to generate new business flows through our partnership with Dai-ichi Life.
Life key highlights:
· Life AUMA of £188 billion up 2% over the period and 1.5% YTD.
· PruFund, now a £68 billion franchise, delivered net flows of £0.2 billion in Q3 compared to £(0.6) billion in H1 2025. We remain focused on further broadening client and advisor access and product range.
· New business volumes of £0.3 billion in Bulk Purchase Annuities (BPA) improved compared to £0.2 billion in the first half. We expect to maintain a good level of volumes in the final quarter of the year.
· Progressing well towards launching our With-Profits BPA, which remains on track for Q1 2026.
