25 per cent rise to £157.4bn at Quilter, advice-led inflows give creditors a cleaner credit read

Quilter says its first-half push into financial advice delivered record net inflows and lifted assets under administration and management by 25 per cent to £157.4bn. As City AM reports, “Quilter has posted record net inflows as the wealth management firm toasts the success of capturing customers seeking financial advice.” It adds: “Total assets under administration and management (AUMA) jumped 25 per cent to £157.4bn in the first half of the year.”

What the source says The core message is that advice, not just market uplift, is doing the work. Quilter says clients are coming in through its financial-advice channel, and that has translated into record net inflows alongside a bigger asset base. City AM also notes that the rise was driven by a 32 per cent increase in core net inflows. That matters because it points to fresh client money entering the business, not simply existing assets rising in value with the market.

What RecoupIQ’s data shows For creditors, the cleaner signal is the source of growth. Net inflows tied to advice tend to be more dependable than asset gains driven only by market levels, because they point to recurring fee income and continuing client acquisition.

Keep watch on your customers and suppliers. recoup-iq.tech/pricing (Pro £149/mo) That matters because suppliers get paid from operating cash strength, not from a valuation headline on its own. In credit terms, advice-led momentum usually reads better than a one-off market bounce.

What this means for UK creditors If you supply regulated financial firms, separate balance-sheet scale from revenue quality. A larger asset base is useful, but fresh inflows and advice penetration usually tell you more about revenue durability, supplier payment risk and near-term resilience. For UK SME owners selling software, compliance support, outsourced operations or professional services into this market, this is a reminder to ask a simple question: is growth coming from advised client wins, or only from stronger markets? The first answer is often the more reassuring one when you are setting terms, renewing contracts or deciding how much exposure to carry.
