Comment

 

As at the end of September our AUM were $10.9bn down $1.4bn from our AUM at our last update at the end of June and from our AUM at the end of our last financial year. In contrast to recent quarters the fall in AUM was largely attributable to the impact of falling markets on our long only funds. We were pleased to see the level of net outflows from our main Japan fund slow considerably compared to recent quarters and indeed the fund actually returned to net inflows during September. 

 

Net inflows into a range of our other funds though was insufficient to offset the outflows we saw from Japan during July and August but the level of net outflows for the quarter at $135m was considerably lower than the level seen in the June quarter.

 

Short-term our AUM levels will be heavily impacted by the direction of world stock markets but the generally strong performance of our funds gives us encouragement that we can return to quarterly net inflows again if market conditions improve. This can be evidenced by the fact that as shown below, 13 of our 16 Lipper rated open ended funds (those with at least a one year track record) are first or second quartile over one year, continuing the excellent record since inception.
