Q4 AuM update and notice of results

'Period').
-- GBP10.6 billion closing AuM at 30 September 2022 (30 September 2021: GBP13.9 billion)
-- GBP0.3 billion of net outflows for the Quarter and GBP1.1
billion of net outflows for the year to 30 September 2022
-- Further positive net flows in fixed income funds and Diversified multi-asset funds
-- Strong relative investment performance with 88% (1) of funds
in the first or second quartile of their respective sectors since
manager inception
-- New Global Head of Distribution joined in the Period to lead
and develop the Group's distribution and marketing strategy
-- New fund manager hire for the Premier Miton UK Value
Opportunities Fund announced in the Period
-- Significant investment in fund management talent over the
last three years to help create a modern, active asset management
business positioned for future growth
Mike O'Shea, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The recent fiscal event in the UK combined with the ongoing
geopolitical environment have created a challenging and uncertain
period for markets both in the UK and globally. Investors
understandably have remained cautious about committing new
investments during this period and we have also seen outflows
across the industry from open-ended funds.
"It is clear that the current market conditions are particularly
challenging for the asset management sector and this was reflected
in the Group's AuM ending the Quarter at GBP10.6 billion. We saw
some outflows from our UK and European equity open-ended funds due
to weak client demand across the industry. These outflows were
partially offset by inflows into our fixed income, US equity and
Diversified multi-asset funds. For the 12 months to 30 September
2022, gross redemptions from open-ended funds run by the Group were
down 4% year on year, however, gross inflows into these products
were down 35% over the same period.
"We believe that when confidence returns more investors will
seek truly actively managed strategies as they look to deliver
added value for their clients. Premier Miton is ideally placed to
take advantage of this trend given our track record of delivering
strong investment performance.
"Across our fund range, our investment performance remains
strong, with 88% (1) of our funds in the first or second quartile
of their respective sectors since manager inception. Shorter-term
numbers also remain encouraging with 86% (1) of funds above median
over three years. It was also very pleasing to see that Premier
Miton had the highest number of funds in the UK market achieving FE
fundinfo's top 5 Crown Rating.
"As part of our long-term growth strategy, we continue to invest
in our business. We were pleased to announce the appointment of
Jonathan Willcocks as our Global Head of Distribution. Jonathan
will play a key role in developing and leading our distribution and
marketing strategy as we expand our investment strategies,
diversify our client base and seek to grow AuM with both wholesale
and institutional investors. During the Period, we also announced
that Matthew Tillett will join the Group in October 2022 from
Allianz Global Investors. Matthew will take over as manager of the
Premier Miton UK Value Opportunities Fund from Andy Jackson who is
retiring at the end of the year.
"Against a backdrop of rising inflation and interest rates which
are impacting both our clients and our colleagues, I am confident
that with our operational and financial strength we are in a good
position to navigate these volatile times."
