Trading Update and Notice of Results

25 April 2023

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter, the "Group") today issues its trading update in respect of the three months to 31 March 2023.

KEY POINTS

·      Assets under management (AUM) increased by £0.6bn over the first quarter, closing at £50.8bn.

·      This was driven by positive market movements of £1.5bn and positive net flows from institutional clients of £0.1bn, partially offset by £1.0bn of net outflows from the retail, wholesale and investment trust channel.

Despite market volatility towards the end of the period, AUM increased through the first quarter of the year to £50.8bn.

The retail, wholesale and investment trusts channel saw net outflows of £1.0bn, as the 'risk off' environment we saw through 2022 continued into the first quarter of 2023. Client demand for UK and European equities remained muted, although this was partially offset by continued positive net inflows into global equity strategies. Outflows from Fixed Income continued to slow, but market uncertainty remains.

Positive momentum was maintained in the institutional channel as we again generated net positive flows. This was primarily driven by mandates funding into global equity strategies managed by NZS Capital. Our pipeline of late stage opportunities remains strong and we look forward to increasing scale in this channel over the medium term.
