Generation Life Leads Inflows
Generation Life was the strongest contributor to the quarter. Its funds under management increased 33 percent year on year to 6.38 billion Australian dollars, while quarterly sales reached a record 518.4 million Australian dollars, 57.1 percent above the September quarter of the previous year.
Net sales reached 427 million Australian dollars. The Lifetime annuity business also recorded its strongest quarter since its 2022 launch, with sales rising 71 percent year on year to 8.5 million Australian dollars.
Evidentia Expands Managed Accounts
Evidentia Group ended the quarter with 41.7 billion Australian dollars in funds under management, an increase of 28 percent from the prior corresponding period. Net inflows reached 1.54 billion Australian dollars, including 74 million Australian dollars from new mandates.
The business appointed Louise Watson as chief executive. Her priorities include expanding distribution, strengthening platform capabilities and improving operational efficiency.
Research Demand Remains Firm
Lonsec Research and Ratings continued to see demand for its core research services, particularly in separately managed accounts. Its newer Lonsec Governance Solutions business was testing demand for investment oversight through several client trials.
Chief executive Grant Hackett said the group had made a strong start to fiscal 2027 despite softer industry conditions and more cautious investor and adviser activity. The breadth of the update points to operating momentum across investment products, managed accounts, research and governance rather than reliance on a single business line.
