Revenue Streams

Icon

Management Fees

Management fees are Schroders' main revenue, charged as a percentage of Assets under Management (AUM); Schroders reported £617.7bn AUM at 31 Dec 2024, so a 0.50% blended fee implies ~£3.09bn annual management fee revenue. Fees vary by product and complexity-lower for passive/ETF, higher for private assets and alternatives-giving stable, scalable income as AUM grows.

Icon

Performance Fees

In private assets and hedge fund strategies Schroders charges performance fees tied to return hurdles, capturing upside when managers deliver alpha; in 2024 performance fees contributed about 9% of group fee income, up from 6% in 2022, reflecting stronger illiquid asset returns and higher carry crystallisation. These fees align Schroders with clients by paying only when returns exceed agreed benchmarks, boosting revenues in outperformance years.

Icon

Advisory and Service Fees

Schroders earns advisory and service fees from wealth and institutional clients for financial planning, estate management, and bespoke strategic advice, generating stable revenue streams; in 2024 Schroders reported advisory income contributing roughly 6% of total revenue, about £240m of £4.0bn group revenue. These fees are less AUM-sensitive than management charges, cushioning earnings when AUM fell 5% in H1 2024.

Icon

Transaction-Based Commissions

Transaction-based commissions: Schroders earns commissions and transaction fees from client trades and product sales, a smaller but steady slice of revenue tied to wealth management and brokerage activity; in 2024 Schroders reported group operating income of £2.2bn, with transaction-related fees making up an estimated low-single-digit percent of total income.
