Liontrust Asset Management reported £1.0 billion in net outflows for Q4 2025, marking an improvement from the previous year's £1.6 billion loss. Despite this, the company's assets under management and advice (AuMA) stood at £21.5 billion by the end of December 2025. This figure slightly increased to £21.7 billion by early January 2026, indicating some resilience in the face of market pressures.

The company secured two new institutional mandates, contributing to a net inflow of £330 million. These mandates partially offset broader outflows, particularly in UK retail funds, which experienced a net outflow of £1.3 billion. The institutional sector saw positive flows, suggesting a shift in investor sentiment towards professional investment strategies.

Liontrust's Chief Executive Officer, John Ions, emphasized the company's broadening investment capabilities, noting success in European equities and strong performance across global equity, fixed income, and multi-asset funds. The company's largest segment remains Sustainable Investment at £7.2 billion, with Multi-Asset and Cashflow Solution following at £3.9 billion and £3.8 billion, respectively.

Looking ahead, Liontrust's performance in the first quartile across multiple fund categories suggests a positive outlook. The company's ability to maintain its market position despite outflows underscores its strategic strength in the competitive asset management sector. Investors will be watching closely to see if these trends continue into the new year.
