Aberdeen Group plc said on Thursday its direct-to-consumer (D2C) investment platform Interactive Investor business (ii) is expected to achieve record net flows in excess of £3.7 billion in Q2 of 2026, an increase of 23% and 50% compared with Q1 of 2026 and Q2 of 2025 respectively.
Aberdeen gave the update as it hosted a roundtable discussion on ii, with group CEO Jason Windsor and Richard Wilson, CEO of ii, and members of the ii executive team discussing the business’ “record performance” one year on from the ii Spotlight event in June 2025.
Aberdeen completed the acquisition of Interactive Investor for £1.49 billion in cash under former CEO Stephen Bird about four years ago. It has been a transformative deal for Aberdeen.
“The session will provide insights into ii‘s exceptional position in the fast growing and attractive UK D2C market, the business’ innovative proposition pipeline including AI opportunities, and diversified profit drivers, following the successful repricing actions taken in February 2026,” said Aberdeen.
“There is continued strong momentum across the business, with ii expected to achieve record net flows in excess of £3.7bn in Q2 2026, an increase of c.23% and >50% compared with Q1 2026 and Q2 2025 respectively. No other new performance data is being disclosed as part of today’s roundtable discussion.”
Aberdeen Group CEO Windsor said: “Interactive Investor is a powerful growth engine, with the record net flows in 2026 we are sharing today further evidencing its significant potential.
“The performance of the business reflects the appeal of its subscription model, technology platform, customer proposition, execution capabilities, and talented and dedicated team.
“I remain confident in ii’s ability to capture a growing share of this expanding and attractive market and deliver strong growth in assets, customer numbers, flows and customer engagement, buoyed by the favourable structural trends in the UK D2C market.”
Wilson, CEO of ii and COO of Aberdeen, said: “We continue to execute against our strategy centred on customer experience, growth, efficiency and innovation; and will invest continuously in enhancing value, choice and service for our customers.
“Ongoing product developments and investment in technology and brand have supported sustained momentum and we believe position us well to broaden our appeal into the future.”
