Trading Update and Notice of Results

20 April 2021

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", the "Group") today issues its trading update in respect of the three months to 31 March 2021.

HIGHLIGHTS

· Assets under management (AUM) closed the period at £58.8bn, an increase of £0.1bn from 31 December 2020

· There were net outflows in the period of £0.8bn. Positive net inflows from fixed income strategies, through NZS capital and a capital raise by the Chrysalis Investment Trust were offset by continuing lower client demand for UK and European equity strategies.

Mutual funds saw total net outflows of £848m, driven by continued lower client demand for UK and European-focused equity strategies. These were partially offset by positive flows into Dynamic and Strategic Bond and the Gold & Silver strategy, as well as a return to positive flows for the Global Equity Absolute Return fund.

Investment Trusts generated total net inflows of £221m, led by a capital raise by the Chrysalis Investment Trust. In segregated mandates, NZS Capital also continued to see strong client demand, generating more than £250m of net inflows. However, this was offset by redemptions in other strategies, primarily UK equities, resulting in total net outflows of £149m.
