Comment

The strong net inflows of the previous financial year have continued into the first quarter of the new financial year, despite challenging market conditions. It is not anticipated that flows will continue at this same pace.

The current quarter has started well with the launch on 1 July 2013 of the Polar Capital Global Financial Trust plc that raised £153m.

The Group continues to be well positioned to continue to grow assuming market conditions do not deteriorate materially.
