Hargreaves Lansdown said it generated £500m in net new business in the three months to September 30.

Hargreaves Lansdown saw a more than 16 per cent drop in new business last quarter, as it prepares for a private equity takeover in 2025.

The London-listed investment platform said it generated £500 million in new business in the three months to September 30, compared with £600 million in the previous quarter.

However, assets under management ended the quarter in line with analyst expectations at £157.3 billion.

The firm welcomed 18,000 clients, up from 8,000 previously, driven mainly by its pension and savings products.

Asset retention, a measure of whether clients are selling their assets on Hargreaves’ platform, fell slightly to 88.6 percent from 89 percent in the first quarter.

Earlier this month, shareholders agreed to a £5.44 billion takeover by a consortium including buyout giant CVC Capital Partners and Abu Dhabi wealth fund.
