  • Consolidated net inflows for March 2026 were $1.3 billion, down from the $3.3 billion recorded in March 2025 but still a positive cash‑flow contribution.
  • Investment fund net sales rose to $307 million (versus zero in March 2025).
  • Segment detail:
  • IG Wealth Management – AUA $162.6 bn (‑3.5 % MoM), net inflows $125 m, investment fund net sales $227 m.

Material Impact
Aspect Expectation vs. Result Impact
AUM growth Analysts expected double‑digit YoY AUM expansion; actual +14.2 % aligns with consensus. Routine – Positive (reinforces growth narrative).
Net inflows Prior year’s March inflow of $3.3 bn set a high bar; the drop to $1.3 bn is a miss but still positive cash flow. Routine – Neutral (downside surprise, but not material).
Investment fund sales New sales of $307 m vs. zero a year earlier exceed expectations for product momentum. Routine – Positive (incremental revenue driver).
Segment MoM changes Small declines in AUA/AUM are within normal volatility; no strategic shift indicated. Routine – Neutral.

Overall, the news is an operational update that confirms the company’s longer‑term growth trajectory without delivering any unexpected catalyst or risk. It does not materially alter valuation assumptions.
