Quilter’s record inflows fail to lift its struggling share price
Quilter plc, a specialist wealth manager listed on the London Stock Exchange, has faced a mixed year. While its share price has struggled, the company continues to attract long-term investors with steady payouts and record inflows. CEO Steven Levin recently highlighted strong demand in the firm’s latest trading update.
The company’s stock has traded sideways for months, with support holding just under £1. Investors who purchased shares a year ago now face a near 10% loss. However, a 15% paper decline has been partly offset by Quilter’s ongoing dividend yield.
In its Q4 2025 trading statement on January 21, 2026, CEO Steven Levin confirmed record net inflows of £2.4 billion. He also reaffirmed Quilter’s focus on cost efficiency and stable client demand. Despite underperforming larger, globally diversified asset managers, the firm’s valuation remains in line with mid-sized UK financial services peers. Market sentiment towards Quilter stays cautiously positive. Income-focused investors, in particular, view the company’s high shareholder payouts as a key attraction. The firm’s ability to maintain net inflows while cutting costs has added to its appeal for patient backers.
Quilter’s share price has lagged, but its dividend and efficiency efforts provide some stability. With net inflows at record levels, the company aims to strengthen its position in a competitive sector. For now, the focus remains on balancing growth with shareholder returns.
