Liontrust outflows widen to PS1.1 billion but assets hold steady
Liontrust Asset Management PLC on Thursday reported net outflows of £1.1 billion in the three months to June 30, slightly widening from £923 million a year earlier, but said assets under management and advice held steady over the period.
The London-based fund manager estimated total assets and advice worth £22.62 billion at the end of June, up marginally from £22.59 billion on April 1.
The level remained consistent as market gains offset client redemptions, with investment performance contributing £1.12 billion in the period.
Retail outflows accounted for the bulk of client withdrawals, with £1.22 billion leaving the UK retail funds and model portfolio service segment. Institutional and investment trust flows were broadly flat, while international and alternative funds saw modest net inflows.
Chief Executive Officer John Ions said investors were starting to return to actively managed strategies, particularly in Europe and the UK, where markets have outperformed the US so far this year.
‘Liontrust continues to make progress towards our four strategic objectives, including broadening distribution institutionally and internationally and expanding the fund range,’ Ions said.
Shares in Liontrust were up 9.1% at 395.40 pence in London on Thursday afternoon.
