Trading Update and Notice of Results

15 October 2021

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", the "Group") today issues its trading update in respect of the three months to 30 September 2021.

Highlights

· Assets under management (AUM) closed the period at £60.7bn, an increase of £0.4bn from 30 June 2021 and of £2.0bn from 31 December 2020.

· Positive market movements of £1.0bn were partially offset by £0.6bn of net outflows, primarily in the first month of the quarter.

· Positive net inflows across Fixed Income and in a number of key growth funds, including Global Sustainable Equities, were offset by ongoing weaker demand for UK and European equity products as well as outflows from Systematic strategies.

Net outflows of £569m were primarily driven by net redemptions from mutual funds and continued weaker client demand for UK and European equity strategies. We also saw outflows from our Merlin range and our Systematic strategies, predominantly the North American equity fund and a reversal of flows into the Global Equity Absolute Return fund.

These outflows were partially offset by inflows of over £300m across our Fixed Income strategies. Global Sustainable Equities continued to perform well, attracting net inflows of almost £100m and reaching AUM of over £200m. A number of other funds which we previously identified as future growth drivers also saw positive net inflows in the quarter, including Gold & Silver and Global Emerging Markets Short Duration Bond.
