Q3 AUM update

Impax, the AIM listed specialist investor focused on the transition to a more sustainable economy, today provides an update on the development of its assets under discretionary and advisory management ("AUM") for the third quarter of its financial year.

On 30 June 2022, the Company's AUM totalled £34.5 billion.

Ian Simm, Chief Executive, commented:

"Since the start of the second half of our financial year in April, sustained concerns about inflation, political risk and the effectiveness of central bank responses have exacerbated weak market sentiment, leading to further material falls in the valuation multiples of global equities. Despite this, our focus on investment in high quality companies has underpinned resilient investment performance and we have been able to advance our pipeline of potential new business.

"Although we saw modest net outflows during the quarter, notably in June, asset owners, regulators and policymakers continue to signal commitment to advancing the transition to a more sustainable economy. Against this backdrop, we have continued to take steps to build the business in order to fulfil our medium-to-long term potential."

The table below sets out further details of the movements in the Company's AUM for the quarter ended 30 June 2022.
