Insurance-based wealth solutions provider Utmost Group has reported that its inflows increased by 43 per cent year-on-year to £9.7bn at the end of 2025, a record high for the firm.

Its outflows over the year totalled £7.1bn, resulting in net flows of £2.6bn in 2025 overall.

Utmost’s improved performance was driven by its strengthened franchise following the integration and rebrand of Lombard International, the company stated.

The firm acquired Lombard International in December 2024 and completed its integration in November last year.

Utmost also said its growth was supported by its ability to meet rising demand for advice-based long-term wealth solutions globally.

In the first half of 2025, Utmost’s inflows totalled around £5.3bn, followed by approximately £4.4bn of inflows in the second half of the year.

Outflows in the first half of the year totalled £3.3bn, resulting in net flows of £2bn, rising to £3.8bn in the second half, resulting in net flows of £0.6bn in H2.

Its assets under administration increased by £12.8bn over 2025 to £116.3bn at the end of December.

In December 2025, Utmost announced the sale of its pension bulk purchase annuity arm to JAB Insurance, as the firm looked to focus on its wealth solutions business.

“This marks the first year with our new Luxembourg business fully integrated into Utmost and the results clearly demonstrate the benefits of the acquisition,” said Utmost CEO, Paul Thompson.

“All our markets achieved strong inflows, with the majority outperforming their 2024 comparator, driven by sustained global demand for compliant, long-term solutions that help clients preserve their wealth across geographies.

“The UK saw particularly strong year-on-year growth as clients sought stability amid ongoing tax changes.

“As we look to 2026, we are excited by our prospects. We operate in highly attractive markets with long-term structural growth drivers marked by an increasing high-net-worth population and broad regional spread of global wealth.

“Rising wealth levels and greater financial sophistication continue to drive significant demand for flexible investment solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.”
