Assets under management increased 9.4% to US$77.7 billion during the quarter. The factors behind the US$6.7 billion increase were net inflows of US$7.3 billion and adverse investment performance of US$0.6 billion.
Strong net inflows continued in local currency, corporate debt and blended debt. Ongoing success in attracting funds principally from government related clients in emerging markets was augmented by flows from European and US institutions. There were also net inflows to multi-strategy and overlay. Modest net outflows were seen in external debt and equities.
Investment performance during the quarter was slightly positive in equities and corporate debt and modestly negative across the other fixed income themes.
The Group continues to perform in line with management's expectations.
