Bridgepoint said assets under management climbed 24.5% to $94.1bn, up from $75.6bn a year earlier, with fee‑paying AUM was broadly steady at €38.8bn. Underlying earnings increased to £304.8m, up from £292m, and reported pre‑tax profit came in at £85.7m. Bridgepoint also reported an EBITDA margin of 52.6%.
The FTSE 250-listed company said underlying management fee income rose to £427.7m, or £422m excluding £5.7m of catch‑up fees, compared with £404m in 2024. Fee‑related earnings grew 20.7% to £150.7m, while performance‑related earnings advanced from £138.5m to £151.6m.
Bridgepoint also said it had raised €14bn so far towards its end‑2026 fundraising goal of €24bn, and noted that it had returned more capital to investors than it drew during the year, with €8.1bn distributed against €5.5bn deployed.
Chief executive Raoul Hughes said: "Bridgepoint posted an impressive performance in 2025 with funds across our platform continuing to deliver for the world's top institutional investors.
"Looking ahead, we are making excellent progress in fundraising and there is a good transaction pipeline in place for 2026 and beyond. The Middle East represents 9% of our total AUM and we have continued to close new capital commitments from the region into our current fundraisings. Whilst there will inevitably be some secondary impacts relating to current events, particularly in respect of the price of energy and corresponding inflationary pressures, I believe we're as well positioned as we could be."
As of 0925 GMT, Bridgepoint shares were up 0.62% at 228.40p.
