Comment

 

There remains considerable uncertainty over the direction of the Japanese equity market and this has resulted in material outflows from our Japan UCITS fund over the last two quarters following the exceptional growth we had experienced in previous years. However, strong inflows into a number of our other products over the September quarter and a general improvement in markets since 31 March 2014 have allowed us to increase assets once again over the latest six month period.

 

At the end of the period we were delighted to announce the arrival of two new teams into the Polar stable, namely Guy Rushton (from Legal & General) heading up a UK Absolute Equity team and Nick Davis (from Threadneedle) heading up a European Income franchise. A UCITS product has already been launched for Guy and it is anticipated that early in the next quarter a UCITS sub fund will be launched for Nick.

 

We have been consistent in signalling our short term caution regarding the AUM growth of the Group given the uncertainty in the outlook for the Japanese market. Nevertheless, we believe over the medium term the Group is well placed to grow assets further, given we have a number of products that have considerable scope for more capacity and assuming no meaningful deterioration in the overall outlook for global equity markets.
