Andrew Croft, Chief Executive, commented:
"Despite the continuing challenges presented by COVID-19, gross flows in May were robust. Retention of existing client investments remains particularly strong, providing for a net inflow for the month of £0.67 billion. Funds under management benefitted from both these positive net inflows and the continuing recovery of world stock markets, to end the month at £112.6 billion.
We remain encouraged by the inflows we are continuing to experience and expect June gross inflows to be similar to May, though the short to medium-term impact of COVID-19 and economic volatility on our flows remains uncertain."
