Gavin Rochussen, Chief Executive, commented:

"A combination of the bear market sell-off, net outflows, fund closures and fund performance meant that our AuM at the end of the quarter were GBP18.9bn compared to GBP22.1bn at the end of March 2022.

"Despite overall net outflows in the quarter, there has been continued demand and inflows into the Sustainable Emerging Market Stars, Global Insurance, Healthcare Blue Chip, Global Absolute Return and Smart Energy Funds with combined net inflows of GBP275m across these funds.

"During the quarter, the rate of net outflows from open-ended funds slowed down compared to the previous quarter, resulting in total net outflows of GBP316m, driven by the technology funds with net outflows of GBP380m and which compares favourably with technology net outflows in the previous quarter of GBP630m.

"With significant fund capacity and improving relative fund performance, we remain confident that with our diverse range of active specialist fund strategies we are well positioned to perform for our clients and shareholders over the long term."
