Strong Cash GenerationConsistently rising operating and free cash flow provides durable internal funding for dividends, buybacks and strategic investment. Strong cash conversion reduces refinancing risk, underpins the new 70% distribution policy, and gives management flexibility to invest in growth while retaining balance-sheet resilience.
Sustained Net Inflows And AUM GrowthRecord, repeatable net inflows and +14% average AuMA growth indicate durable organic scale in the platform and managed business. Higher AUM supports recurring fee revenue, improves operating leverage and strengthens competitive positioning across adviser and platform channels over the medium term.
Platform Leadership And Tech-driven ProductivityAdviser productivity gains from AI and the adviser support platform are structural: they lower per-client servicing costs, allow capacity expansion without proportional headcount growth, and help scale the business model. Combined with prior simplification savings, this supports sustainable margins and distribution competitiveness.
