Net Inflows and Growth in FUA
Platform Net Inflows and FUA
HUB24 has achieved a strong quarter of growth with the HUB24 platform delivering record quarterly net inflows of $2.2 billion, before the inclusion of the $1.4 billion bulk transition from ClearView Wealth, and $0.3 billion Xplore platform net inflows, resulting in total platform net inflows of $3.9 billion.
With record net inflows during the last three quarters, HUB24 finished the financial year with annual record net inflows of $8.9 billion, with $8.6 billion annual net inflows on the HUB24 platform and $0.3 billion on the Xplore platform.² Average monthly net inflows, excluding large transitions, for FY21 of $627 million are up 52% from $412 million for FY20.
Platform FUA reached $41.4 billion as at 30 June 2021, (up $5.8 billion, or 16%, including positive market movement of $1.9 billion for the quarter across both the HUB24 and Xplore platforms). This result is up 141% from $17.2 billion as at 30 June 2020. Trading volumes were lower than expected for the quarter in line with the broader market.

The total number of advisers using the platform grew by 48% during FY21.

Additionally, in the recent Investment Trends Adviser Needs Report (previously called Planner Technology report) HUB24 maintained its 2[nd] place ranking in both adviser satisfaction and adviser advocacy and has consistently ranked in the top 2 platforms for the last 6 years. HUB24 was ranked first in seven categories including administrative accuracy, client portal, tax optimisation tools, helpfulness of contact centre staff, contact centre support, follow-up with problems, and complaints handling.⁵
As well as continuing to focus on growth and supporting our clients, the team is delivering on our strategic objectives. During the quarter, the private label investment and superannuation offer for IOOF was launched and the HUB24 and IOOF teams are continuing to work together to rollout the solution across the IOOF adviser network. The bulk transition of $1.4 billion from ClearView was also completed during the quarter, demonstrating the teams’ ability to deliver record organic growth whilst also managing large scale projects.
The integration of Xplore is well-progressed as teams work together to develop the future operating model and continue to engage and service customers. The Xplore team have now moved onto HUB24’s corporate technology environment and a property consolidation strategy is underway. The combined distribution and product teams are working together to engage with clients resulting in growth in both platform and PARS FUA.
The separation of PARS from Ord Minnett systems to HUB24 is continuing and is on track for completion by the end of Q2 FY22.
Given HUB24’s significant growth in FY21, the expansion of our product and service offerings and the opportunities available in the market, HUB24 is investing to support future growth. The company will be expanding the executive team, hiring additional distribution team members and investing in technology infrastructure to support scale and ongoing innovation. Further detail will be provided in the FY21 results update in August.
As part of this investment and to support our strategic objectives, HUB24 has announced the appointment of Darren Stevens as Chief Product Officer reporting directly to the Managing Director. Darren will join HUB24 in August, to lead the Group’s combined product functions across platform
