Aberdeen Asset Management has delayed its £1 billion net inflow target for its adviser platform by a year to 2027, citing the 32% adjusted operating profit drop in that division following a strategic repricing launched in February 2025. The move, announced alongside a 34% surge in operating profit at its retail trading arm interactive investor, reflects the ongoing pressure on the company's wealth management platform. Adjusted operating profit for the full year 2025 rose 4% to £264 million, while IFRS profit before tax surged 76% to £442 million, boosted by gains on its stake in Standard Life Plc.

Assets under management climbed 9% to £556 billion. Chief executive Jason Windsor stated the company entered 2026 'with momentum'.
