Key Points

Positve

Acadian Asset Management Inc (AAMI) achieved record high assets under management (AUM) of $177.5 billion as of December 30, 2025.
The company reported a significant increase in management fees, up 32% from Q4 2024, driven by strong positive net flows and market appreciation.
Acadian Asset Management Inc (AAMI) delivered record annual ENI EPS of $3.25, up 18% year over year.
The firm realized $5.4 billion of positive net client cash flows in Q4 2025, marking eight consecutive quarters of positive net flows.
The company expanded its ENI margin by more than 2 percentage points to 35.5% and reduced its gross leverage to 1 time as of year-end 2025.

Negative

US GAAP net income attributable to controlling interests was down 18% and EPS was down 14% compared to the year prior due to increased non-cash expenses.
The company's variable compensation decreased 18% year on year, primarily driven by reduced performance fee-related compensation.
Performance fees declined, partially offsetting the growth in recurring base management fees.
Crowding in lesser quality high beta stocks created a challenging environment for Acadian's fundamentally driven signals, particularly in the second half of the year.
The company suspended share repurchases in Q4 2025 as balance sheet cash supported deleveraging efforts.
