NINETY ONE PLC - Q2 2027 AUM update
What this filing means
Ninety One reports AUM of £181.4 billion at 30 September 2026, down £2.6 billion from the prior quarter (£184.0bn at 30 June 2026) but up £29.3 billion year-on-year (£152.1bn at 30 September 2025). This is a quarterly operational data point with no new guidance, earnings commentary or economic signal — it confirms the AUM level the market was already working with. The interim results for the six months to 30 September 2026 are scheduled for 16 November 2026.
Ninety One is an investment manager, and its quarterly AUM figure is the amount of client money it manages — roughly £181 billion at the end of September. A drop from £184 billion the prior quarter is worth noting, but this is routine reporting with no commentary on performance, markets or strategy. The real test comes when the interim results are published on 16 November.
Bear case
- No earnings guidance, revenue bridge, or operating commentary is provided; the quality and sustainability of the AUM base cannot be assessed from this notice.

SENS-AI conclusion
A quiet, data-only print. The AUM fell modestly quarter-on-quarter and grew solidly year-on-year, but with no earnings commentary, no guidance update and no analyst or investor engagement in this filing, there is nothing here to act on. AUM is a balance of market movements and net flows — the filing gives neither a breakdown nor an explanation. The next material disclosure is the interim results on 16 November, which will put actual income and earnings behind the balance figure. So what: the AUM number alone changes nothing; the market will reprice the stock on the interim results, not on a headcount of assets.
The interim results on 16 November are where the market will see whether the AUM level translated into fee income and earnings.
