ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT AND FLOWS

		30 June  2018 £m	Q3 net flows £m	Market/FX movement £m	30 September  2018 £m
	Mutual funds	41,998	(773)	248	41,473

	Investment trusts	1,276	2	69	1,347

Q3 2018 saw AUM decrease from the half year to £47.7bn as a result of £0.8bn net outflows, partly offset by positive performance of £0.3bn.

Net mutual fund outflows were £0.8bn during the quarter, £0.6bn of which were from our Fixed Income strategy, principally in Continental Europe.  We also saw negative flows in our European Opportunities and Fund of Funds strategies, partially offset by positive flows in our European Growth, Value Equities and Absolute Return strategies.

In keeping with our strategy of continued diversification, the Merlin Real Return (Unit Trust), Eurozone Equity (SICAV) and Flexible Income (SICAV) Funds were all launched in the quarter, strengthening our Fund of Funds, European Opportunities and Multi Asset strategies respectively.  Within our Alternatives strategy, we launched the US Equity Long Short (SICAV) Fund in October.
