ST. JAMES'S PLACE WEALTH MANAGEMENT
STRONG GROWTH CONTINUES
WITH NET INFLOWS UP 42%
St. James's Place plc ("SJP"), the wealth management group,
today issues its update on new business inflows and funds under
management for the three months ended 30 September 2017.
-- Gross inflows of funds under management of GBP3.59 billion (2016: GBP2.80 billion)
-- Continued strong retention of client funds - 95%
-- Net inflow of funds under management of GBP2.36 billion (2016: GBP1.66 billion)
-- Group funds under management of GBP85.7 billion (2016: GBP71.4 billion)
David Bellamy, Chief Executive, commented:
"I am pleased to report another consistently strong set of
results, with gross inflows 28% higher at GBP3.6 billion and net
inflows some 42% stronger at GBP2.4 billion, compared with the same
period last year. The sustained growth in new investments and
continued high retention of clients and their investments, means
that year to date net inflows are up 41% at GBP6.7 billion,
compared to the same period last year. Group funds under management
of GBP86 billion are up 14% since the beginning of the year and 20%
over the last 12 months.
The globally diverse range of funds and portfolios we offer,
continues to serve our clients well. As well as maintaining our
current investment offering, we strive continually to offer
appropriate breadth of choice and a diversified range of funds to
meet their long-term investment objectives. To this end, we
recently announced the launch of two new funds, changes to the
personnel responsible for some of our existing funds and the
introduction of a new Strategic Growth Portfolio. The appointment
of Nippon Value Investors, to manage the new Japan fund, takes to
29 the number of managers available exclusively to St. James's
Place clients within the UK retail market.
Looking ahead, whilst political and macro uncertainties persist,
we are confident in the scale and quality of our relationship-based
approach to the management of our clients' financial affairs. This,
together with the breadth of our investment management proposition,
means we are well placed to meet the growing need for trusted
advice and our medium term growth objectives."
