AlTi Global Narrows Operating Loss After Cost Cuts

Operating expenses fell 25% to $63.9 million as the wealth manager posted a $6.0 million GAAP operating loss.

AlTi Global (ALTI), an independent global wealth manager, reported a $6.0 million GAAP operating loss for the third quarter of 2026, a 79% improvement from a $28.5 million loss a year earlier.

Consolidated revenue was $57.9 million, up 1% from $57.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Management and advisory fees, the bulk of the top line, were $55.3 million, up 7% from $51.7 million a year earlier. The company said the increase reflected higher assets under management.

Incentive fees were zero, compared with $2.4 million a year earlier. Distributions from investments were $2.5 million.

The operating improvement reflected both growth in recurring management fees and lower operating expenses. Total operating expenses were $63.9 million, down 25% from $85.7 million a year earlier and down 7% from $68.9 million in the second quarter. The company attributed the decline to a 37% reduction in professional fees and meaningful decreases in compensation and benefits, general and administrative costs, and occupancy. On a normalized basis that excluded non-recurring and non-cash items, operating expenses were $52 million.

Other expense was $4.5 million, down 84% from $28.4 million a year earlier. The company said the item was primarily an unrealized loss on the valuation of one of its external manager investment stakes.

Net loss from continuing operations was $11.4 million, an 87% improvement from an $87.0 million loss a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.2 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.8%.

External strategic managers totaled $5.281 billion, including $1.759 billion in real estate bridge lending, $2.506 billion in European long-short equities, and $1.016 billion in Asian credit and special situations. The company said that, subsequent to September 30, the manager of the European long-short equities strategy received significant redemption requests.

Cash and cash equivalents were $34.96 million as of September 30, 2026. Total assets were $1.101 billion. Shareholders’ equity attributable to AlTi Global, Inc. was $610.6 million.
