Trading Update and Notice of Results

11 October 2017

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", the "Group") today issues its trading update in respect of the three months to 30 September 2017.

HIGHLIGHTS

§ Positive mutual fund net inflows of £1.2bn in the quarter, achieved across a range of different strategies and geographies.

§ AUM closed at £48.4bn, a year-to-date increase of 19%.

Maarten Slendebroek, Chief Executive, commented:

"We are pleased to report another quarter of healthy flows following on from a strong first half. Total net inflows were £1.3bn, including £1.2bn of net inflows into our mutual funds across a number of different investment strategies. The business momentum from our pursuit of business diversification allied with positive investment performance after fees has driven a 3% increase in AUM over the quarter and a 19% increase since the beginning of the year."

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT AND FLOWS

		30 June  2017 £m	Q3 net flows £m	Market/FX movement £m	30 Sept  2017 £m
	Mutual funds	40,930	1,245	144	42,319
	Segregated mandates	4,708	111	77	4,896
	Investment trusts	1,269	(13)	(40)	1,216
	Total	46,907	1,343	181	48,431

Total AUM increased during the quarter as a result of positive inflows and investment returns in our mutual fund and segregated mandate channels.

Net mutual fund inflows were £1.2bn during the third quarter, with significant inflows principally within our Fixed Income strategy as well as meaningful inflows into our European Growth, UK Value, Absolute Return and Global Emerging Markets strategies, partially offset by outflows in our Fund of Funds strategy. Geographically, we saw net inflows across all regions, with Europe and the UK the highest contributors.

In September, we launched the Jupiter Global Emerging Markets Short Duration Bond fund. This further develops our newly-established emerging market debt offering, following the launch of the Jupiter Global Emerging Markets Corporate Bond fund in March this year.  

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

The continued net inflows this year, underpinned by the delivery of strong investment outperformance after all fees to investors, affirm the confidence we have in our positioning as a high conviction active asset manager. Our business model and drive towards continued diversification by client type, product and geographic reach has enabled us to continue growing our asset base.

Looking towards the end of this year and onward into 2018, we aim to build on the momentum we have seen to date. We believe that diversification and investment in maintaining our scalable operating model, supported by a strong and sustainable balance sheet, provides resilience to our business. This approach leaves us well-placed to deliver asset growth for our clients and value for our shareholders.
