GQG Partners Inc. (ASX: GQG) has released its Funds Under Management (FUM) update for the period ending 31 October 2026, revealing a significant decline in its total FUM for the month and year-to-date. GQG Partners is a global investment management firm that offers a range of active equity strategies to institutional and private clients worldwide. The company reported its total FUM decreased to USD 131.6 billion at the end of October, down from USD 149.2 billion at the close of September.
The monthly reduction of USD 17.6 billion was primarily driven by negative investment performance and net outflows across all its major strategies. During October, GQG recorded net outflows totalling USD 6.7 billion, with significant outflows observed in its Emerging (USD 3.2 billion) and International (USD 2.2 billion) strategies. Additionally, investment performance accounted for a USD 11.0 billion decrease, affecting International (USD 4.2 billion), Emerging (USD 2.8 billion), Global (USD 3.0 billion), and US (USD 1.0 billion) strategies.
Looking at the year-to-date figures from 31 December 2025 to 31 October 2026, GQG Partners’ total FUM fell from USD 163.9 billion to USD 131.6 billion. This comprehensive decline saw net flows contribute a negative USD 32.9 billion over the period, with the largest outflows from Emerging (USD 13.0 billion) and International (USD 9.4 billion) strategies. While investment performance remained modestly positive year-to-date at USD 0.6 billion overall, it was insufficient to offset the substantial net outflows experienced across the firm’s portfolio.
