Total AUM increased across all channels during the quarter as a result of positive investment returns and healthy mutual funds inflows.

Net mutual fund inflows were £1.4bn during the first quarter, with significant flows into our Fixed Income, Absolute Return, Multi Asset and Global Emerging Market strategies. Inflows have been particularly strong in Asia and continental Europe, including positive contributions from our recently opened offices in Italy and Spain. Healthy net inflows, investment performance and currency effects led to mutual fund AUM increasing to £38.0bn as at 31 March 2017, an increase of 7.9% in the quarter.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

Net inflows, underpinned by the delivery of strong investment outperformance after all fees to investors, affirm the confidence we have in our diversification strategy offering potential for further long-term growth.  We continue to invest in maintaining our scalable operating model, leaving us well placed to deliver growth and to continue sharing the rewards of that growth with our stakeholders.
