Gavin Rochussen, Chief Executive, commented:

"Given the challenging, volatile and uncertain short-term economic and political conditions it is pleasing to report a quarter of £150m of net inflows after the challenging final six months of our last financial year where the Group suffered from net outflows to dampen the net in-flows of the first six months to September 2018. We remain confident that our active fundamental fund strategies will continue to deliver above average returns for our clients."
