The quarter saw assets under management increase 18% to US$41.6 billion. The drivers of this were net inflows of US$3.4 billion, and positive performance of US$2.9 billion.
The inflows were within the multi-strategy theme, principally from Asian retail investor focused products, and in the "Other" theme in the currency hedging/overlay strategy.
Trading conditions are in line with management expectations and the Group remains confident of its prospects for the current year.
The Group's strategy remains consistent; deliver long term investment outperformance; generate and diversify net management fee income through the attraction of net subscriptions across investment themes; and develop the Ashmore brand and business model.
