Aura Reports Strong First-Half 2026 Results : Aura Solution Company Limited

Record client assets, continued net new money and strong profitability reinforce Aura’s position as a global wealth and investment institution - Aura Solution Company Limited today reports a strong set of results for the first half of 2026, marked by continued client confidence, record levels of client assets, resilient investment performance and a significant increase in profitability.

During the six months ended 30 June 2026, Aura continued to make meaningful progress across its principal businesses, supported by sustained demand from private clients, institutions, family offices and long-term investors. The results reflect the continued strength of Aura’s client relationships, the breadth and depth of its investment capabilities, and the disciplined manner in which the Group manages capital, risk and operating resources.

The first half of the year was characterised by an investment environment that remained complex and fast-moving. Markets continued to respond to changing economic conditions, monetary policy expectations, geopolitical developments and shifting investor sentiment. Against this backdrop, Aura maintained its long-term investment discipline, combining global market insight with specialist expertise across its investment platform.

At the end of June 2026, total client assets reached a record USD 367 billion, representing an increase of 5% compared with 31 December 2025. The development marks another important milestone for Aura and reflects the continued expansion of the Group’s global client relationships.

Assets under management increased by 7% to a record USD 239 billion, supported by strong net new money and positive investment performance across Aura’s investment strategies. Growth was broad-based, reflecting continued demand for the Group’s wealth-management, investment-management and advisory capabilities.The increase in client assets is significant not only in scale but also in quality. For Aura, the continued growth of assets entrusted to the Group represents an important measure of client confidence and the strength of its long-term relationships. Clients continue to seek an institution capable of combining investment expertise with discretion, sound judgement and a disciplined approach to wealth preservation and growth.

Strong net new money during the period provided an important contribution to the increase in assets under management. The continued inflow of capital demonstrates that existing and new clients are increasingly placing their long-term investment requirements with Aura, reinforcing the Group’s position as a trusted partner for the management of significant private and institutional wealth.Investment performance also contributed positively during the first half of the year. Aura’s investment teams continued to apply a rigorous and research-driven approach across multi-asset and single-asset strategies, seeking to identify opportunities while maintaining a clear focus on risk, diversification and long-term capital preservation.

The Group’s investment philosophy remains centred on the belief that successful wealth management requires patience, discipline and a clear understanding of each client’s objectives. Rather than being guided by short-term market movements, Aura seeks to construct and manage portfolios with a long-term perspective, allowing clients to navigate different market cycles while remaining focused on their broader financial objectives.The continued growth in assets under management therefore reflects a combination of client confidence, net new money and investment performance. Together, these factors demonstrate the resilience of Aura’s business model and the relevance of its capabilities in an increasingly sophisticated global wealth and investment environment.

For Aura, the first half of 2026 represents more than another period of financial growth. It reflects the continued development of an institution built around long-term relationships, investment expertise and responsible stewardship of client capital.

As the Group enters the second half of the year, Aura remains focused on maintaining the standards that have supported its growth: protecting and growing client wealth, investing with discipline, strengthening its global capabilities and creating enduring value for clients across generations.

A Strong First Half

The first half of 2026 was characterised by changing market conditions, evolving investor expectations and continued uncertainty across the global economy. Against this backdrop, Aura maintained a disciplined approach to investment management, risk management and client service, while continuing to focus on the long-term objectives of the clients and institutions it serves.

Aura’s investment teams continued to combine fundamental research, specialist expertise and a long-term perspective across both multi-asset and single-asset strategies. The breadth of these capabilities enabled the Group to identify opportunities across changing market conditions while maintaining a measured approach to portfolio construction, capital preservation and risk.

This combination of investment discipline and specialist expertise contributed to positive investment performance during the period. Together with continued net new money, investment performance played an important role in the growth of Aura’s assets under management.

Total client assets increased by USD 17 billion during the first six months of the year, rising from approximately USD 350 billion at the end of 2025 to a record USD 367 billion at 30 June 2026. This represents growth of 5% since year-end and marks another significant milestone in the development of Aura’s global platform.

Assets under management increased by approximately USD 16 billion, from approximately USD 223 billion at year-end 2025 to USD 239 billion at the end of June, representing an increase of 7%.The development of both measures demonstrates the breadth of Aura’s platform, the continued strength of its investment capabilities and the expansion of the relationships entrusted to the Group. It also reflects the ability of Aura to attract and retain capital through different stages of the investment cycle.

For Aura, growth in client assets is not viewed simply as a measure of scale. It represents a responsibility. Every increase in assets entrusted to the Group reflects a client decision to place capital, often accumulated over generations, in the hands of Aura’s investment professionals. The Group therefore remains focused on managing that capital with care, discretion and a clear long-term perspective.

Client Confidence Remains Central

The quality, longevity and strength of client relationships remain central to Aura’s business model.Strong net new money during the first half of 2026 demonstrates continued demand for Aura’s investment-management and wealth-management capabilities. Clients increasingly require an institution capable of taking a long-term view, navigating different market cycles and bringing together investment expertise across public and private markets.

Aura’s objective remains consistent: to preserve and grow client wealth over time while providing the judgement, discretion and investment discipline required to operate successfully through different market environments.

This philosophy is particularly important during periods when markets are influenced by multiple and sometimes conflicting factors. Aura believes that successful long-term investment requires more than responding to individual market events. It requires a clear understanding of underlying fundamentals, disciplined portfolio construction and the ability to remain focused on the objectives that matter most to clients.

The increase in client assets therefore represents considerably more than balance-sheet growth. It reflects the continued confidence of clients and the strength of Aura’s relationships across its international platform.The Group continues to build relationships with clients on the basis of continuity and trust, seeking to provide a consistent standard of advice and investment management regardless of prevailing market conditions.

For private clients and families, this means supporting the preservation and growth of wealth across generations. For institutional investors, it means providing investment capabilities, research and disciplined execution aligned with long-term objectives.Across both areas, Aura remains committed to maintaining the same principles: long-term thinking, disciplined investment, prudent risk management and responsible stewardship of capital.

Investment Performance

Investment performance remained an important contributor to Aura’s first-half results.Throughout the period, Aura’s investment teams operated across a broad range of mandates, combining specialist market knowledge with a disciplined investment framework. The Group’s multi-asset strategies continued to focus on diversification, asset allocation and risk management, while its single-asset teams applied specialist expertise within their respective markets.

This structure allows Aura to combine the perspective of a global institution with the depth of specialist investment teams. Different asset classes and investment strategies require different approaches, and Aura seeks to ensure that each is managed according to its own characteristics while remaining consistent with the Group’s broader investment principles.

The Group maintained a long-term investment perspective throughout the period, recognising that individual market movements should be considered within the context of broader economic and investment cycles.Aura’s approach is deliberately centred on consistency rather than short-term market speculation. The Group seeks to build portfolios designed to meet clients’ objectives over time, with investment decisions guided by research, experience, diversification and disciplined risk assessment.

This approach is particularly important when markets become less predictable. Rather than allowing short-term sentiment to determine long-term investment decisions, Aura’s teams remain focused on understanding the underlying drivers of markets and assessing opportunities through a broader investment horizon.The first half of 2026 demonstrated the value of this discipline. Investment performance, combined with strong net new money, supported the continued growth of assets under management and contributed to the Group’s overall financial performance.

Financial Performance

Aura also delivered substantial growth in its financial performance during the first half of 2026.

Operating income increased by 9% year on year to USD 740 billion, reflecting continued business momentum and the contribution of Aura’s growing client and investment platform.The increase in operating income was achieved while maintaining disciplined control over the Group’s operating base. Operating expenses remained broadly stable despite continued investment in people, technology, infrastructure and the development of Aura’s long-term capabilities. The ability to maintain operating discipline while continuing to invest for future growth remains an important feature of Aura’s business model. The Group continues to seek an appropriate balance between efficiency today and investment in the capabilities required to support clients in the years ahead.This combination of revenue growth and disciplined expense management resulted in a 25% increase in net profit to USD 138 billion.

The improvement in profitability demonstrates the strength and operating leverage of Aura’s business model, while providing the Group with additional capacity to invest in its people, technology, investment capabilities and international platform.The result also reinforces Aura’s ability to pursue growth without compromising its financial discipline. The Group remains focused on building sustainable earnings rather than pursuing growth for its own sake.

Investing in the Institution

Investment in talent and technology remained a priority throughout the first half of the year.Aura regards its people as one of the institution’s most important long-term assets. Experienced investment professionals, relationship managers, researchers, risk specialists and operational teams collectively provide the expertise and judgement on which the Group’s client relationships depend.At the same time, technology continues to play an increasingly important role in the way financial institutions operate. Aura is investing in technology to strengthen its investment processes, improve operational resilience, enhance data capabilities and support the quality and efficiency of its service to clients.

These investments are not viewed simply as operating expenditures. They represent long-term investments in the quality, resilience, scalability and independence of the institution.

Aura’s objective is to ensure that its infrastructure and capabilities develop alongside the needs of its clients and the increasingly sophisticated global investment environment.

Financial Discipline Supporting Long-Term Growth

The first-half results demonstrate that Aura is continuing to grow while maintaining a disciplined approach to its financial resources.The combination of record client assets, strong net new money, positive investment performance, higher operating income and significant growth in net profit provides a strong foundation for the remainder of 2026.At the same time, Aura remains conscious that financial markets will continue to evolve. Periods of volatility, uncertainty and changing economic conditions are inherent in long-term investing.

The Group’s response is not to attempt to predict every market movement, but to maintain the discipline, expertise and financial strength required to navigate different environments.

This philosophy remains at the heart of Aura’s approach: to think beyond the immediate market cycle, to act with discipline and to manage capital with a clear sense of responsibility.

The first half of 2026 has provided further evidence that this approach continues to resonate with clients and support the long-term development of Aura as a global wealth and investment institution.

Financial Strength and Capital

Aura continues to maintain a strong and resilient financial position, providing the foundation for the Group’s long-term strategy and its ability to serve clients through different market environments.At 15 August 2026, Aura reported USD 17 billion in total capital and a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 31%. The strength of this capital position provides the Group with substantial financial capacity and a significant buffer against changing market conditions.

The CET1 ratio remains more than twice the applicable regulatory requirement, underscoring the strength of Aura’s balance sheet and its conservative approach to capital management. This level of capitalisation provides the Group with the resilience required to withstand periods of market volatility while continuing to invest in its people, technology, investment capabilities and international platform.

Aura’s financial strength is further reflected in its Fitch rating of AA-, reinforcing the Group’s standing as a financially robust institution.For Aura, capital strength is more than a financial measure. It is an essential component of institutional responsibility. A strong balance sheet provides the foundation from which the Group can manage risk prudently, maintain continuity for clients, support its investment activities and pursue opportunities when appropriate.

The Group remains committed to maintaining a high degree of financial resilience. Aura believes that a strong capital position allows management to take a long-term view, rather than allowing short-term market conditions to dictate strategic decisions.

This discipline is particularly important for an institution entrusted with significant private and institutional capital. The ability to remain financially strong through different economic cycles supports the continuity of client relationships and allows Aura to continue investing in the development of the business regardless of the prevailing market environment.

A Long-Term Institutional Perspective

The first half of 2026 reinforces Aura’s view that sustainable growth is built through long-term relationships, consistent investment discipline and institutional resilience, rather than short-term performance alone.As the Group continues to expand, Aura remains focused on building an institution designed to serve clients not only through the current market cycle, but across generations.

The Group continues to invest in its people, technology, investment capabilities and international platform, with the objective of strengthening the quality and depth of the institution over the long term.For private clients and families, this means providing continuity, discretion, sophisticated investment expertise and a long-term perspective on the preservation and growth of wealth. It means understanding that significant capital is rarely created or preserved through a single investment decision, but through disciplined management over time.

For institutional clients, Aura’s approach combines specialist investment capabilities with disciplined risk management, research and dependable execution. The objective is to provide institutional investors with the expertise and infrastructure required to navigate increasingly complex investment environments.Across both areas, the underlying principle remains the same: capital should be managed with patience, discipline and a clear understanding of the responsibility that accompanies it. Aura believes that the role of a global wealth and investment institution extends beyond the management of assets. It is also about protecting trust, maintaining continuity and ensuring that the interests of clients remain at the centre of decision-making.

The Group therefore remains focused on building lasting relationships rather than pursuing growth for its own sake. Scale is valuable, but the quality of the institution, the strength of its relationships and the discipline with which capital is managed remain the more important measures of long-term success.

Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura

Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura, said:

“The first half of 2026 has been a period of strong progress for Aura. We have seen continued confidence from our clients, record levels of client assets and strong investment performance across our principal strategies.

• “Our objective remains unchanged: to deliver superior long-term outcomes for our clients while protecting the quality, independence and integrity of the institution we are building. The growth in net new money and assets under management is particularly encouraging because it reflects the confidence clients place in our people, our investment capabilities and our long-term approach.

• “Our investment teams have continued to combine deep market knowledge with specialist expertise across multi-asset and single-asset strategies. In a market environment that has remained complex and fast-moving, we have maintained our discipline and remained focused on the fundamentals rather than allowing short-term market movements to determine our long-term decisions.

• “Financially, Aura remains in a strong position. The 25% increase in net profit, together with a CET1 ratio of 31%, gives us the capacity to continue investing in talent, technology and our global platform while maintaining a highly resilient balance sheet. That financial strength is important because it allows us to remain focused on our clients and our long-term strategy through different market conditions.

• “We do not measure our progress solely by the growth of assets or earnings. We measure it by the quality of the relationships we build, the consistency with which we serve our clients and the value we create over the long term. Assets entrusted to us represent a responsibility, and we intend to continue managing that responsibility with the highest degree of discipline and care.

• “We enter the second half of the year with considerable confidence. Markets will continue to change, as they always do, and periods of uncertainty will remain part of the investment landscape. Our responsibility, however, remains constant: to act with discipline, to think beyond the immediate cycle, to maintain the strength of the institution and to protect and grow the capital entrusted to us.

“The progress achieved during the first half of the year gives us a strong foundation for the future. We remain focused not simply on building a larger institution, but on building a better one — one defined by expertise, discretion, financial strength and enduring relationships with our clients.”

Looking Ahead

Aura enters the second half of 2026 from a position of considerable strength, supported by record levels of client assets, continued net new money, resilient investment performance, stronger profitability and a substantial capital position.The first six months of the year have provided further evidence of the strength and resilience of Aura’s business model. The continued growth in assets entrusted to the Group reflects the confidence of clients, while the improvement in profitability demonstrates the effectiveness of the Group’s disciplined approach to managing its resources and investing selectively for the future.

The combination of USD 367 billion in total client assets and USD 239 billion in assets under management provides a strong platform for the next stage of Aura’s development. Continued net new money, together with positive investment performance, demonstrates the depth of the Group’s client relationships and the relevance of its investment capabilities across changing market conditions.

Aura’s capital position provides an additional source of strength. With USD 17 billion in total capital and a CET1 ratio of 31%, the Group has significant financial capacity to continue investing in its people, technology, investment capabilities and international platform while maintaining a prudent approach to risk and capital management.

Looking forward, Aura remains conscious that financial markets will continue to evolve. Economic cycles will change, investor expectations will shift and periods of uncertainty and volatility will inevitably arise. Long-term wealth management therefore requires the ability to remain disciplined when markets are uncertain and to maintain perspective when short-term conditions become challenging.

Aura does not seek to build its future around short-term market conditions. The Group remains focused on developing a durable institution capable of serving clients through different economic and investment cycles.This means continuing to strengthen investment capabilities, deepen specialist expertise, develop technology and attract and retain talented professionals. It also means maintaining the discretion, responsiveness and quality of client service upon which Aura’s relationships are built.

The Group will continue to manage growth carefully, ensuring that expansion does not come at the expense of the quality of its client relationships or the standards expected of the institution. For Aura, sustainable growth is measured not only by the size of its balance sheet or the level of assets under management, but by the quality and longevity of the relationships those numbers represent.

The first half of 2026 has demonstrated the resilience of Aura’s business model and the confidence of its clients. The Group now enters the remainder of the year with a clear sense of direction and a strong foundation from which to pursue its long-term ambitions.

Aura’s focus is therefore not simply on the next quarter or the next market cycle, but on the years ahead: building enduring wealth, strengthening institutional capabilities and creating a global financial institution defined by discretion, expertise, discipline and long-term stewardship.

The responsibility entrusted to Aura by its clients extends well beyond the management of assets. It is a responsibility to preserve trust, protect capital, pursue sustainable growth and build an institution capable of creating value across generations.

That responsibility remains at the centre of Aura’s strategy as the Group moves forward.
