Assets under Management

^ includes segregated mandate

David Barron, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The Group has seen its AuM increase by £348 million in the Period to close at over £4.7 billion. In common with much of the industry, we experienced outflows from our UK equity funds reflecting both the wider concerns about the UK market and the divergence in returns from different parts of the market, post the 2016 Brexit vote. Our funds are actively managed and at times their performance will differ from peers and the wider market.

By offering a wider range of strategies the Group continues to diversify the business and its revenue streams. At the Period end, for the first time, the Group had four investment teams each managing AuM in excess of £600 million. These and our other strategies have further scope for growth having established critical mass and strong performance track records."

The Group will announce its results for the half year to 30 June 2019 on 23 September 2019.
