The Sydney-based fund manager recorded about A$200 million in net inflows through April, adding to A$449 million in the first quarter, chief executive Brendan O’Connor said.
That puts Regal on course for A$2 billion in net inflows in 2026 and marks its strongest start to a calendar year since listing nearly four years ago.
The company said investor appetite has been boosted by Middle East conflict, which has increased demand for strategies designed to protect portfolios against inflation.
