Quilter plc reports resilient gross and net flows for third quarter 2022 in a volatile market environment

Quilter plc highlights:

•       Assets under Management and Administration (“AuMA”) of £96.9 billion at the end of September 2022, a decline of 2% from 30 June
        2022, reflecting a challenging market backdrop over the summer with both bond and equity values declining. Average AuMA for the
        third quarter of £100.1 billion, 5% lower than first half 2022 average AuMA of £105.3 billion.
•       Net inflows of £0.2 billion for Q3 (2021: £1.0 billion) versus £0.3 billion in Q2 2022, representing 1% of opening AuMA annualised
        (2021: 4%). The third quarter is typically a seasonally slow quarter, with this exacerbated by increasing market volatility and cost-of-
        living pressures, reducing gross flows.
•       Solid performance from Quilter channel with quarterly gross platform flows of £637 million (Q3 2021: £654 million) demonstrating
        constant Quilter adviser productivity, with adviser productivity stable at £2.2 million. Quilter channel quarterly net inflows of £430 million
        (Q3 2021: £469 million) reflecting moderately higher levels of redemptions.
•       We remain very focused on attracting new IFA firms to our UK platform and are making good progress despite the current market
        challenges.
•       Resilient performance from High Net Worth segment, with moderately lower gross flows and stable retention leading to net flows for
        the quarter of £222 million (Q3 2021: £329 million).
•       Steven Levin to succeed Paul Feeney as Chief Executive Officer on 1 November 2022.

Paul Feeney, Chief Executive Officer of Quilter plc, commented:
“While we are living through uncertain times, our business is well positioned to win in the UK Wealth market. I am pleased that we continue
to deliver positive net flows even through the quietist quarter of this unprecedented year. The Quilter channel, in particular, has continued
to deliver robust flows to our platform and the High Net Worth segment has continued to deliver a resilient performance.

“Over the last decade, my focus has been on building a modern integrated wealth manager that is strategically positioned in the largest,
secular growth market in UK financial services. I am delighted to be handing on such a business to my successor, Steven, and I am
confident in Quilter’s potential and ability to drive growth and deliver efficiency. The strength of our advice-based model means we are well
positioned to take advantage of the opportunities ahead, even in tough markets.”
