Alexforbes saw assets under management and administration grow 22% to R733 billion in the year ended March 31, 2026, supported by favourable markets and exceptional new business, particularly in retail and platform assets.
In a year marked by resilience, Alexander Forbes Group Holdings reported a steady final dividend of 33 cents per share for the financial year ending March 31, despite normalised headline earnings per share remaining unchanged at 69 cents.
The company’s performance for the year reflects strategic execution and growth, bolstered by underlying operational successes. The performance was supported by favourable markets and exceptional new business, particularly in retail and platform assets.
The operating income increased by 10% to reach R4.85 billion, and normalised profit from operations soared by 22% to R1.03bn.
However, headline earnings per share from total operations saw a 5% dip, recording 67 cents per share. This decline primarily emerged from the performance of discontinued operations in the previous year, rather than any deterioration in the quality of ongoing operations.
