Comment
The AUM of the Group has remained unchanged from the figure at the start of our financial year. Net redemptions have been matched by an increase in value of our AUM due to market movements and performance.
We have previously commented that we were hopeful as we commenced a new financial year that the heavy Japan outflows that had been experienced over the past twelve months would start to recede. The evidence is that this is indeed the case as the team's recent top decile quarterly and top quartile six monthly numbers have reminded investors of the team's long term top decile performance since inception.
The Group can confirm the successful launch on 1 July 2015 of Nick Davis' European Income (ex UK) Fund that was a product of investor led demand. The fund will be run along-side Nick's European Income Fund.
