Q1 AUM update

Impax, the AIM listed specialist investor focused on the transition to a more sustainable economy, today provides an update on the development of its assets under discretionary and advisory management ("AUM") for the first quarter of its financial year.

On 31st December 2023, the Company's AUM totalled £39.1 billion, representing an increase of 4.6% over the three-month period.

Ian Simm, Chief Executive, commented:

"This quarter, after more than 12 months of market headwinds, the investment performance of our principal strategies has strengthened significantly, underpinning a 4.6% jump in assets under management. Although asset allocation decisions at some of our wholesale clients have led to net outflows this quarter, we've retained all our material client accounts and added some significant new ones, particularly in Europe.

"Looking ahead, we have a healthy pipeline of potential new business and see encouraging signs that the transition to a more sustainable economy is accelerating in many areas. To capitalise on Impax's commercial opportunities we have recently seeded two new equity-oriented investment products and made material progress in the development of our fixed income franchise."

In line with common market practice, Impax is now providing AUM updates on a quarterly basis only. The next update will be for Q2, in April 2024.
