The table below sets out the movements in the Group's AUM over the nine month period:
AUM movement Nine months to 31 December 2013 | Long only funds $m | Alternative funds $m | Total $m |

Total AUM at 31 December 2013 | $12,119m | $885m | $13,004m |
Comment
As we cautioned at the interim results, our net inflows for our third quarter, at just under $1bn, were below the levels seen in the previous two quarters, although it was pleasing to see inflows continue across a wide range of strategies.
Markets have made an uncertain start to 2014, but assuming market conditions do not deteriorate, we remain well positioned to grow assets further in 2014.
