Comment
In spite of the turbulent market conditions we are pleased to report an increase in overall AUM for the nine months to the end of December 2011. We are also pleased to report net inflows for the nine month period of $826m, with $193m being received in the latest quarter. Despite the encouraging positive flows, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the European debt crisis, we continue to be cautious regarding the outlook for net inflows over the coming quarters.
