Hub24 delivers a 9% year-on-year jump in platform inflows to $4 billion for the third quarter of FY26, powered mainly by resilient retail net inflows. That momentum helps lift total funds under administration by 22% to $151.7 billion.
New licensee agreements climb 11% over the quarter, taking total advisers using the platform to 5,549. For a sector under pressure from regulation and margin squeeze, those growth metrics stand out.
Hub24 points to stronger March-quarter net inflows underpinned by ongoing year-on-year retail growth, even as a one-off institutional outflow drags on the result. The platform secures the top ranking for both quarterly and annual net inflows for the ninth straight quarter.
Market share edges higher to 9.7% as at 31 December, reinforcing its position among Australia's largest wealth platforms. The group also exercises an option to acquire HTFS Nominees, trustee of its super fund, pending regulatory approval.
Rising adviser numbers feed platform inflows, which in turn expand funds under administration and strengthen Hub24's network effects. Consistent net inflow leadership over nine consecutive quarters shows advisers are continuing to shift client assets onto the platform at scale.
The move to acquire HTFS Nominees is designed to give Hub24 tighter control over governance and product settings within its superannuation structure. Vertical integration can improve operational flexibility and help the platform respond faster to regulatory and competitive shifts.
Hub24's combination of inflow growth, rising market share and greater control over its superannuation trustee structure is entrenching its role in Australia's wealth management ecosystem. Competitors now face a platform that is expanding on several fronts at once, adviser adoption, assets and structural influence over its own super fund.
Industry observers suggest the key question is whether institutional flows, which can be lumpy, will reaccelerate to match the steady retail momentum. The outcome of the HTFS Nominees acquisition approval process will also shape how far Hub24 can push its integrated strategy from here.
