What did Generation Development Group management say?
Generation Development Group CEO, Grant Hackett OAM said:
FY26 was another strong year for the Group, characterised by record net inflows, continued market share gains and strong earnings growth.
The successful integration of Evidentia Group and Lonsec Investment Solutions, combined with ongoing investment across our businesses, has strengthened our competitive position and enhanced our ability to capitalise on long-term structural growth opportunities.
Generation Life, Evidentia and Lonsec each hold leading positions in attractive markets benefiting from powerful demographic, regulatory and industry tailwinds.
We enter FY27 with a high-quality recurring revenue base, strong execution momentum and significant opportunities to continue compounding earnings and long-term shareholder value.
What’s next for Generation Development Group?
The group enters FY27 well-placed to benefit from strong structural tailwinds across superannuation, retirement, and managed account markets. Management anticipates ongoing growth in FUM, supported by adviser adoption and stable product revenue margins.
Underlying operating expenses are expected to rise in line with prior years, as GDG continues investing in people, technology, and new partnerships. The company’s robust balance sheet supports its disciplined approach to further growth and improved operating leverage over time.
