Reiterate Buy Research Associate

We reiterate Buy with a 700p target price. FY26 results were ahead on earnings and +44-20-7541-1561

with performance fees providing upside in stronger realisation years. On c.9x +44-20-754-11564

FY26: earnings ahead, cleaner base 700.00

FY26 was a decent set of results on the continuing operations basis. FUM was Adj. EPS (GBP) 50.58 to 47.10 ↓ -6.9%

£9.0bn, revenue was £164.9m and core EBITDA pre-SBP was £68.6m. In our view, Total Revenue

189 to 176 ↓ -6.9%

the continuing operations re-presentation also makes the story easier to (GBPm)

underwrite, with the group now focused on Real Assets and Private Equity Source: Deutsche Bank

following the agreed FCM disposal.

Price/price relative

FCM disposal improves the shape of the group

We view the FCM disposal positively. FCM had become a drag on profitability and 400

was already a negative contributor in our SOTP valuation. Its disposal simplifies the

equity story and improves the quality of the remaining group.
