GQG Partners Reports Stable Half Year Performance

GQG Partners Inc. (ASX: GQG) released its half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 on 21 August 2026, reporting steady financial performance, a strong balance sheet and continued expansion of its global investment platform. The company manages active equity strategies across International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Global Equity and U.S. Equity, serving clients worldwide.

As of 30 June 2026, GQG managed US$156.0 billion in Funds Under Management (FUM), supported by its diversified investment strategies and global client base. The company continues to focus on fundamental research-driven portfolios designed around long-term capital appreciation and risk management.

Financial Performance Remains Resilient

During the first half of FY26, GQG generated net revenue of US$397.2 million, representing a 1.4% decline compared with the prior corresponding period. The movement was primarily influenced by lower performance fees, partially offset by higher management fee income.

Management fees increased as average Funds Under Management improved to US$164.5 billion from US$162.9 billion, while the average fee realisation rate increased to 48.6 basis points. This supported stability in recurring revenue despite changes in investment performance-related income.

Net profit attributable to GQG Partners Inc. shareholders was US$228.4 million, compared with US$230.2 million in the previous corresponding period, representing a modest decline of 0.8%. Distributable earnings remained broadly stable at US$234.9 million.

Strong Balance Sheet Supports Future Growth

GQG maintained a robust financial position, ending the period with total assets of US$524.7 million, cash reserves of US$168.9 million and no outstanding debt. Shareholders’ equity increased to US$463.4 million, reflecting continued financial strength.

The company continued returning capital to shareholders, paying US$213.1 million in dividends and dividend equivalents during the six months ended 30 June 2026.

Expanding Investment Platform and Product Offering

GQG continued developing its product ecosystem during the period. Its U.S. Equity ETF, launched in July 2025, reached US$563.5 million in assets by 30 June 2026, reflecting growing demand for exchange-traded investment solutions. The Private Capital Solutions business also secured an additional US$43.0 million in committed capital, increasing total committed capital to US$183.6 million.

The Board declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.0362 per CDI, with the payment scheduled for 25 September 2026.

GQG enters the second half of FY26 with a diversified asset base, disciplined operating model and continued focus on delivering long-term investment outcomes for clients.
