IntegraFin Holdings PLC on Tuesday reported record funds under direction at the end of the fourth quarter and said it expects revenue for the year to rise. The London-based investment platform operator reported net inflows to the Transact platform of £1.0 billion in the fourth quarter to the end of September, up 25% from £800 million a year ago. It reported record quarter end funds under direction on the platform of £74.2 billion, up 16% over the past year from £64.1 billion. IntegraFin said it expects group revenue for the full year to rise 8.2% to around £156.8 million from £144.9 million last year. Average daily funds under direction on the platform was 14% higher at £71.9 billion in the fourth quarter from £63.0 billion a year ago. Net inflows were 76% higher than the prior year at £4.4 billion in financial 2025, up from £2.5 billion. IntegraFin said the Transact platform is ‘extremely well positioned’ to continue to grow a strong share of adviser platform market net inflows in financial 2026 and beyond. The company reiterated the revenue margin guidance it set out in July. It expects the reduction in platform revenue margin to slow in financial 2026, with any decrease caused by the impact of positive market movements, as client funds under direction move into lower charging bands. IntegraFin added that its cost review is ‘progressing well’. It reiterated previous updated cost guidance, as it said it expects 9% cost growth for total underlying administrative expenses in financial 2025. It sees total underlying administrative expenses cost growth slowing to a low single digit percentage in financial 2026 and 2027 due to ‘rigorous cost initiatives and operational leverage’. The firm said it is in a strong position to accelerate profit growth in the coming years. ‘Q4 FY25 marked another consecutive quarter of gross inflows over £2 billion, delivering our highest ever gross inflows in a financial year. The sustained strength of our gross inflows has been the main driver of our excellent net inflows momentum throughout the year, whilst outflows have remained stable,’ said Chief Executive Officer Alex Scott. ‘We continue to make financial planning easier by developing our proprietary technology adviser platform and enabling a more integrated ecosystem for clients and advice firms. This puts us in a strong position to deliver growing operating returns and to take advantage of the compelling opportunities present in the UK advice market.’ Shares in IntegraFin were up 0.4% at 367.50 pence in London on Tuesday morning.
