Comment
In spite of the turbulent market conditions we are pleased to report an increase in overall AUM for the six months to the end of September 2011. We are also pleased to report net inflows for the six month period of $633m, with $160m being received in the latest quarter. Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the European debt crisis, we remain cautious on the outlook for net inflows over the coming quarters.
