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 provide an update on performance for the three months ended 31 December 2025.
Group headlines
- Strong Q1 FY26 net inflows to the Transact platform of £1.0bn, up 11% year-on-year (Q1 FY25: £0.9bn) and representing 5.6% of opening funds under direction (FUD) for the quarter annualised.
- Record quarter end FUD on the Transact platform of £77.2bn, up 17% year-on-year (Q1 FY25: £65.9bn).
- Record average daily FUD on the platform of £76.1bn in Q1 FY26, up 16% year-on-year (Q1 FY25: £65.5bn).
- Record high levels of gross inflows to the platform in Q1 FY26 of £2.9bn, up 21% year-on-year (Q1 FY25: £2.4bn).
- The Transact platform experienced both heightened inflows and outflows in the lead up to the UK Autumn Budget in October and November 2025, caused by elevated pension wrapper activity as clients reacted to extensive pre-Budget speculation. Flows have since returned to normalised levels.
Outlook and guidance
- The Transact platform is well-positioned to continue to attract and grow its strong share of adviser platform market net inflows in FY26 and beyond.
- We reiterate our cost guidance from December 2025:
o Total underlying administrative expense growth is expected to slow to c.3% in each of FY26 and FY27 as a result of our cost management initiatives and operational leverage.
- A combination of our compelling revenue growth fundamentals and the implementation of the cost management initiatives put the Group in a strong position to accelerate profit growth in the coming years.
Alex Scott, IHP Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The Group continues to build on the strong flows momentum from FY25 and has started the new financial year by delivering impressive net inflows of £1.0bn despite the uncertainty caused by the 2025 UK Autumn Budget. We also achieved record gross inflows in the quarter, marking our eighth consecutive quarter in which gross inflows exceeded £2 billion. Digital enhancements to the platform continue to yield excellent results and attract new business.
We remain focused on the three core levers that will drive our earnings growth: enhancing our market-leading proposition; growing the platform's FUD and revenue while focusing on managing platform revenue margin; and finally, implementing our cost and efficiency programme. Together, these components position the Group to deliver accelerated earnings growth."
