Key strategic initiatives progressed during the quarter included the pilot phase of Netwealth's individual HIN solution for private wealth clients and numerous platform enhancements, such as new onboarding, workflow, and reporting capabilities.

What's next for Netwealth Group?
Looking ahead, Netwealth expects FUA net flows for FY26 to remain broadly in line with FY25, and projects an EBITDA margin of approximately 49% (excluding any First Guardian impacts). The business is investing around $12 million in capitalised software development and plans to base future dividends on underlying earnings, excluding any one-off items.
Management says the business remains highly profitable and cash generative, supported by recurring revenue and a strong balance sheet. They also see a sizeable opportunity in the Australian broking market as they prepare to launch the individual HIN solution more broadly in July 2026.
