Comment
While the very challenging market conditions affected the value of the Group's long only assets it is pleasing to report that over the past four quarters net inflows have averaged in excess of $250m per quarter. The highlight of the last quarter was the launch of the Global Healthcare Growth and Income Trust plc which raised £89m. This was a terrific achievement and is a strong vote of confidence from our clients in the product, the team and Polar Capital. We look forward to launching additional products, as well as to attracting new investment talent to the firm.
