Most Popular Narrative: 3% Undervalued

On the latest numbers, the most followed valuation narrative puts Jupiter Fund Management's fair value at £1.81, just ahead of the recent £1.758 close. This leaves only a small implied discount and keeps the focus firmly on execution rather than a wide pricing gap.

The persistently declining average fee margin, now forecasted to remain at 66bps due to greater reliance on institutional mandates and a broader industry trend toward fee compression, signals that even if AUM stabilizes, revenue growth may struggle to keep pace with expectations, especially as clients demand lower-cost solutions.

Result: Fair Value of £1.81 (UNDERVALUED)
