## Business segments

Schroders reports two operating segments: **Asset Management**, which provides investment management and advisory services across equities, fixed income, multi-asset solutions, private assets and alternatives; and **Wealth Management**, which encompasses investment management, wealth planning and financial advice, platform services, and banking services. The company also reports a Group segment for head-office costs and relevant support-service allocations; this is distinct from the two operating businesses. [18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P61514074)

In FY2025, Asset Management generated £1,966.6 million, approximately **78.5%**, and Wealth Management generated £537.7 million, approximately **21.5%**, of the two segments’ combined £2,504.3 million in net operating revenue. These percentages are calculated from reported segment net operating revenue, not AUM. [19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T8889163) Schroders’ latest available results as of 4 October 2026 are for the half-year ended 30 June 2026; the contribution percentages above use FY2025, the latest full-year segment breakdown identified.

## Company history

Founded in London in 1804 by Johann Heinrich Schröder and his brother, Schroders began as a merchant-banking firm. It formed its first investment trust in 1924 and established an Investment Department in 1926, marking its move into investment management. [21](https://www.schroders.com/en/global/individual/about-us/our-history/)

Schroders expanded internationally through the 20th century, building a presence across the Americas, Europe and Asia. It listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1959. In the United States, it expanded through acquisitions including Naess & Thomas in 1968 and a stake in Wertheim & Co. in 1986, completing the latter’s buyout in 1994. [21](https://www.schroders.com/en/global/individual/about-us/our-history/)[22](https://www.schroders.com/en-us/us/individual/about-us/our-history/new-york/timeline/)

In 2000, Schroders sold its investment-banking arm to focus on asset and wealth management. Cazenove Capital joined its wealth-management business in 2013. Subsequent acquisitions broadened its capabilities in private equity, impact investing and renewable infrastructure, including Adveq (2017), BlueOrchard (2019) and Greencoat Capital (2022). [21](https://www.schroders.com/en/global/individual/about-us/our-history/)[23](https://www.wealth.schroders.com/en/global/wealth-management/about-us/our-history/)[24](https://www.schroders.com/en-us/us/individual/media-center/schroders-completes-acquisition-of-adveq/)[25](https://www.schroders.com/en-us/us/local/media-center/schroders-acquires-majority-stake-in-leading-impact-investor-blueorchard/)[26](https://www.schroders.com/en-us/us/individual/media-center/schroders-completes-acquisition-of-majority-shareholding-in-greencoat-capital/)

Peter Harrison, Group Chief Executive from 2016, was succeeded by Richard Oldfield in November 2024. In 2025, Schroders regained full ownership of Cazenove Capital as part of a transaction involving its stake in Schroders Personal Wealth. In February 2026, its board agreed to a recommended cash acquisition by Nuveen, subject to shareholder and court approvals.
