Profit rose on seed gains

Ashmore's audited FY2026 results covered the year ended June 30, 2026. Profit before tax increased 17 percent to GBP 126.9 million from GBP 108.6 million, while diluted EPS rose 28 percent to GBp 15.0, according to FT.com.

The earnings quality was mixed. Adjusted net revenue declined 7 percent to GBP 135.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA fell 32 percent to GBP 35.7 million as performance fees weakened, while seed capital gains helped lift statutory profit.

Flows returned to positive territory

Assets under management increased 13 percent to USD 54.0 billion in FY2026, combining USD 2.7 billion of net inflows with USD 3.7 billion of investment performance. The prior year had produced a USD 5.8 billion net outflow, making the change in flow direction a central operating improvement, according to FT.com.

The counter-factor is fee sensitivity. Performance fees fell to GBP 1.4 million from GBP 10.2 million, showing how reported earnings can benefit from investment gains even as recurring fee income remains under pressure.
