River Global PLC reported a fall in revenue to £12.2m for the year to 30 September 2025 and an overall pre-tax loss of £13.4m for its A share business, driven by an £8.1m goodwill impairment linked to the agreed post-year-end sale of its operating business to Liontrust Asset Management. Excluding the impairment, losses narrowed, supported by cost reductions of nearly £5m, consolidation of funds into a single platform and strong investment performance, with the group also securing new mandates and joint ventures expected to lift assets under management despite persistent industry-wide outflows. The company completed a share reorganisation in March 2025, separating results for A and B shares, with the B-share-linked Parmenion business delivering rising assets, revenue and EBITDA. Management highlighted that the sale to Liontrust, ongoing platform efficiencies and growing third‑party mandates such as those with Phoenix Group and Blevins Franks could reshape River Global’s future positioning, even as the broader UK active funds market continues to face significant net outflows and macroeconomic headwinds.
