Trading Update and Notice of Results

26 April 2022

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", the "Group") today issues its trading update in respect of the three months to 31 March 2022.

Please note that we are presenting our assets under management (AUM) and net flows in a way which is more aligned with our strategic objectives and more reflective of how we measure performance. We are reporting our business divided into three client channels: Retail & wholesale, Institutional and Investment trusts. The Retail & wholesale channel includes AUM from our advisory and discretionary clients, as well as those clients who have invested directly with Jupiter. Institutional clients, such as pension scheme assets, are included within the Institutional channel.

A breakdown of the movements in our AUM on the basis of the prior presentation can be found in the appendix on page 3.

KEY POINTS

· Assets under management closed the period at £55.3bn.

· The decrease of £5.2bn from 31 December 2021 was driven by negative market returns of £3.6bn and net outflows of £1.6bn.

Worsening geopolitical events and inflationary concerns weighed upon client demand throughout the quarter, particularly in the Retail & wholesale channel. As a result, we saw a 'risk off' environment across both equities and fixed income.

The Retail & wholesale channel saw total net outflows of £1.9bn. There was continued lower demand for UK and European-focused equity products and inflationary concerns led to redemptions from our unconstrained fixed income strategies.

These outflows were partially offset by net inflows of over £0.2bn from Institutional clients. This was driven by the funding of a mandate from Brunel into Global Sustainable Equities and two client wins in UK Value equities.

Across both channels, our sustainability-labelled product range continued to see client demand, generating over £0.2bn of net inflows.
