The quarterly AUM update reflects some ongoing outflows in retail products, though institutional AUM was slightly higher due to positive flows and other factors such as market movements and distributions.

Investors will be looking for signs that outflows can stabilise and that Magellan’s partnership-led growth strategy continues to add long-term value. The company remains committed to disciplined capital management and evolving its specialist service offerings.
