AGF Management Limited (AGF or the Company) (TSX: AGF.B) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended May 31, 2026.

AGF reported total assets under management and fee-earning assets1 of $74.7 billion compared to $60.5 billion as at February 28, 2026 and $53.5 billion as at May 31, 2025. AGF generated strong free cash flows of $36.4 million in the quarter, up 52% from the prior year.

The second quarter reflects the continued diversification and growth of our business, said Judy Goldring, Chief Executive Officer, AGF. Our strong results and cash flow generation reflect continued operating momentum and the ability to execute on our strategic plan.

AGF Investments mutual fund gross sales were $1,363 million for the quarter compared to $1,650 million in the prior period and $1,148 million in the comparative prior year period. Canadian retail net flows2 were $161.0 million for the quarter, compared to $431.0 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and $110.0 million in the comparative prior year period.

In May, we announced a subsequent investment in NHC, marking another important step in the evolution of AGF Capital Partners and our broader growth strategy. This investment supports the continued diversification of AGFs business, assets and client base, added Goldring. 

1 AUM represents assets under management and model delivery assets of AGF subsidiaries and affiliates. Fee-earning assets represents assets managed by affiliates in which AGF has carried interest ownership and earns fees but does not have ownership interest in the managers.
2 Canadian retail net flows includes Canadian retail mutual fund net sales and Canadian ETF and SMA net sales.


Key Business Highlights:

Under the terms of the transaction with NHC, AGF converted its existing convertible note to equity and made an additional investment of $20.6 million USD in increasing its interest in the company to 50%, effective May 29, 2026. AGF retained options to increase its ownership interest in the future.

John Porter joined AGF Investments as Chief Investment Officer, bringing decades of global investment management and leadership experience to support the firm's investment capabilities and long-term growth strategy.

This quarter, AGF launched Capitol Signals, a subscription-based newsletter featuring insights from Henrietta Treyz, Co-Founder and Director of Economic Policy at Veda Partners, providing clients with timely analysis of U.S. policy developments and their potential impact on global markets.
