AUM Update

AUM Update

Polar Capital Holdings plc (the "Company"), the specialist asset management group, today provides its regular quarterly update of its unaudited statement of its Assets under Management ("AUM").

Comment

The AUM numbers are encouraging. In our last update we indicated that the industry was beginning to witness a change in sentiment and this new update supports that position. The net redemptions of $137m in the first quarter have been replaced by net subscriptions in the second quarter of $248m leading to a positive net subscription figure for the first six months of $111m.

Although we believe that investment markets will continue to bchallenging we are reasonably comfortable that our continued strong relative and absolute performance should result in a more extended period of investor inflows into both our hedge and our long only funds.

Group AUM (unaudited)

In the six months to 30 September 2009 the Company's AUM have risen 28% to US$1.899bn.

The table below sets out the Company's AUM as at 30 September 2009 and the movements experienced in the six months since the Company's year end:
