Mike O'Shea, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am delighted to welcome Lloyd Harris, Simon Prior, Alan
Rowsell and their investment analysts to our active investment
management team. These hires strengthen our investment capabilities
and broaden the product range we can offer our clients.
We will continue to grow our business through the addition of
new investment talent and by developing our product range where
significant client demand is identified.
The Group's AuM saw a recovery of 12% from the position at 31
March 2020 to end the quarter at GBP10.3 billion.
The single strategy funds continued to see inflows across
several products. Leading this was the European equity investment
team with inflows in the Period bringing their AuM to GBP1.48
billion as at 30 June 2020. I am pleased to report that the LF
Miton European Opportunities Fund is the best performing European
ex UK equity fund since its launch(2) and the fund very recently
won Best European fund at the Investment Week Fund Manager of the
Year Awards 2020 along with best Europe fund in the Money Observer
Fund Awards 2020.
There was a slowdown in outflows across the multi-asset and
fixed income products compared to the previous two quarters.
Looking forward we continue to see growth opportunities across our
range of both new and established funds."
