IntegraFin Holdings plc ("IHP" or the "Group"), operator of Transact, the UK's premium investment platform for clients and UK financial advisers, is pleased to update on performance for the three months ended 30 September 2025.

Group highlights

  • Strong Q4 FY25 net inflows to the Transact platform of £1.0bn (Q4 FY24: £0.8bn).
  • Record quarter end funds under direction (FUD) on the Transact platform of £74.2bn, up 16% over the past year (FY24: £64.1bn).
  • Average daily FUD on the platform of £71.9bn in Q4 FY25 (Q4 FY24: £63.0bn).
  • Total FY25 Group revenue expected to be up 8% at c.£156.8m (FY24: £144.9m).
  • Very strong total net inflows of £4.4bn in FY25, up 76% on the prior year (FY24: £2.5bn), representing 6.8% of opening FUD.

Outlook and guidance

  • Transact is extremely well positioned to continue to attract and grow a strong share of adviser platform market net inflows in FY26 and beyond.
  • We reiterate the revenue margin guidance that we announced in July:

o In FY26 we expect the reduction in platform revenue margin to slow, with any decrease driven by the impact of positive market movements as client FUD moves into lower charging bands.

  • The Group-wide cost review announced in July is progressing well. A further update on the business efficiencies and productivity opportunities identified will be provided at the FY25 results in December.
  • We also reiterate the previous updated cost guidance that we announced in July:

o FY25 remains unchanged at c.9% cost growth for total underlying administrative expenses.

o FY26 and FY27 total underlying administrative expenses cost growth expected to slow to low single digit percentage as a result of our rigorous cost initiatives and operational leverage.

  • A combination of the revenue growth fundamentals and the implementation of the cost review puts the Group in a strong position to accelerate profit growth in the coming years.

Alex Scott, IHP Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"IHP had a strong final quarter, continuing excellent net flow momentum for the Transact platform over the year. Net inflows in Q4 FY25 were up 28% year on year, bringing total FY25 net inflows to £4.4bn - an impressive 76% increase on FY24.

Q4 FY25 marked another consecutive quarter of gross inflows over £2bn, delivering our highest ever gross inflows in a financial year. The sustained strength of our gross inflows has been the main driver of our excellent net inflows momentum throughout the year, whilst outflows have remained stable. This has been driven by the enhancements we have made to our proprietary technology, particularly through the development of new APIs for the Transact platform. These ongoing enhancements will continue to broaden the appeal of the Transact platform to clients and advisers.

The Group-wide cost review is ongoing, and we have identified efficiency and productivity improvements which, when implemented, will deliver future cost savings and accelerate future earnings growth. We look forward to providing more information on the outcome of the cost review at the FY25 results in December 2025.

We continue to make financial planning easier by developing our proprietary technology adviser platform and enabling a more integrated ecosystem for clients and advice firms. This puts us in a strong position to deliver growing operating returns and to take advantage of the compelling opportunities present in the UK advice market."
