Schroders FY results seen ahead of market expectations

(Sharecast News) - Asset manager Schroders said on Thursday that its full-year results were set to come in ahead of market expectations, with adjusted operating profits expected to be at least £745m, up from £603.1m a year earlier. Schroders stated adjusted net operating income was expected to be no less than £2.58bn, compared with £2.44bn in 2024, helped by a favourable assets under administration mix, while operating expenses were seen broadly unchanged year-on-year at around £1.83bn, reflecting continued cost discipline and progress on its transformation programme.

The FTSE 100-listed firm also said it remains on track to deliver £150m of annualised net savings by the end of 2027, with its adjusted cost‑income ratio expected to improve to around 71% from 75%.

Group AUM was expected to be around £825bn including joint ventures and associates, or £730bn excluding them, driven by market gains, investment performance and roughly £11bn of net new business.

Public Markets generated around £3.9bn of inflows, while Schroders Capital delivered £4bn, plus a further £500m from Future Growth Capital. Wealth Management recorded around £3.4bn of inflows, equivalent to a 2.7% net new business rate, although charity mandates saw modest net outflows despite strong gross inflows.
