What did GQG Partners report?

  • Total FUM at 31 August 2026: US$149.2 billion
  • August 2026 net outflows: US$4.3 billion
  • August 2026 investment performance: –US$2.9 billion
  • Year-to-date (YTD) net outflows: US$23.9 billion
  • YTD investment performance: +US$9.2 billion

What else do investors need to know?

GQG's FUM declined on both a monthly and year-to-date basis, mainly driven by net outflows across all investment strategies. The international strategy was the largest segment, finishing August with US$68.6 billion in FUM after a combination of net outflows and negative investment returns.

While investment performance for August was negative, the year-to-date figure remains positive, suggesting that returns have added to FUM in the longer term. Notably, GQG Private Capital Solutions activity is not included in the reported figures.

What's next for GQG Partners?

Investors can expect the next FUM update on 12 October 2026, with subsequent monthly updates following. Management will be looking to address ongoing net outflows and stabilise assets under management across their international, emerging markets, global, and US strategies.

GQG says these results reflect dynamic client flows and market conditions, and the group continues to prioritise long-term performance and client alignment.
