Q4 AuM update
and
Notice of results
Premier Miton Group plc (AIM: PMI) today provides an update on its unaudited Assets under Management ('AuM') as at 30 September 2025, covering the fourth quarter of its financial year (the 'Quarter' or 'Period').
· AuM of £10.3 billion as at 30 September 2025 (30 September 2024: £10.7 billion)
· Strong net inflows into absolute return and fixed income strategies
· Net outflows of £191 million during the Quarter
· Additional £2 million in annualised cost savings identified
Mike O'Shea, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We saw encouraging momentum in our fixed income and absolute return strategies during the Quarter, with combined net inflows of £325 million. This reflects growing investor confidence in our approach to capital preservation and delivering strong returns. We also have a robust pipeline of new business building across these areas.
"However, we experienced combined outflows of £347 million from our US and European equity strategies. While this presents a near-term challenge, we remain confident in the long-term focus of these funds. Our diversified and genuinely active asset management model gives us confidence in returning the overall business to net inflows, assuming stable or improving market conditions in 2026.
"On leadership, I am pleased to announce key changes to our equity investment team, effective immediately. Paul Marriage will become head of the UK Equity Team, bringing deep sector expertise and a strong performance track record. Neil Birrell will lead the Global Equity Team while continuing in his role as Chief Investment Officer. Gervais Williams will become Chair of our Equities Business, providing experienced oversight and continuity. These changes are designed to enhance performance through focussed portfolio management and improved team coordination, ultimately benefiting client outcomes.
"In April 2025, we announced annual cost savings of £3 million, the majority of which have now been delivered. We have identified a further £2 million in annualised savings to be delivered over the next 12 months. These include additional business efficiencies and a deeper integration with our main outsourced partners at Northern Trust, with one-off implementation costs of approximately £0.7 million. These efficiencies will help offset the impact of a weaker flow environment, should it persist in the near term. We remain focused on actively managing our cost base to support future shareholder returns.
"In parallel with operational improvements, we continue to explore strategic transaction opportunities to enhance shareholder value. We remain open to inorganic growth opportunities that could expand our scale, introduce new investment capabilities, or provide access to new client segments. While timing remains uncertain, our disciplined approach and proven track record position us well to identify and pursue attractive opportunities.
"As we enter our new financial year, we do so with a strong balance sheet, a focussed investment leadership team, enhanced operational efficiency and a clear path for growth, both organic and inorganic. We look forward to the coming year with confidence."
