Assets under management and administration rose 3% in the first nine months to £118.1bn despite mixed global market performance and a 1.7% fall in the FTSE 100 index.
Net inflows during the period were 2.2 billion pounds, it said in a statement.
Quilter generated new client flows of £500m in the quarter, down from £1.3bn in the equivalent period last year when markets were “significantly more buoyant”.
Quilter was spun out of the Anglo-South African insurance company Old Mutual earlier this year.
Chief executive Paul Feeney said: “Over the last quarter more volatile investment markets and geopolitical uncertainty have contributed to weaker investor sentiment resulting in a marketwide reduction in net retail flows.”
