Liontrust Asset Management PLC (LSE:LIO) reported net outflows of £1.2 billion for the quarter ended September 2025, resulting in a 2.7% decline in assets under management and advice to £22 billion. While the period was marked by continued market volatility and investor caution, the company remains optimistic about the outlook for active management, citing a growing shift among clients seeking to diversify away from U.S.-centric passive strategies.
Liontrust continues to see positive traction with institutional investors and wealth managers, particularly in international markets, where its investment expertise and expanding distribution network are driving stronger engagement. The firm’s robust investment processes, combined with its reputation for disciplined active management, are expected to support its long-term growth and market positioning.
The company’s outlook remains underpinned by a solid balance sheet, a strong dividend yield, and a reasonable P/E ratio, contributing to an attractive valuation. However, sluggish revenue and cash flow growth present ongoing challenges. From a technical perspective, trading indicators are mixed, with short-term bearish movements partially offset by bullish momentum in longer-term trends.
