-- Net inflows of GBP200 million in the Period (2016: GBP92 million ) and net inflows for the financial year to 31 March 2017 of GBP482 million (2016: GBP255 million)

-- Following completion of the acquisition of ATI, Liontrust's AuM as at close of business on 3 April 2017 was GBP9.1 billion
Commenting, John Ions, Chief Executive, said:
"It has been a successful year with a number of notable achievements. The addition of new fund management teams has broadened and strengthened the Liontrust client proposition. Gross sales of over GBP2 billion in the financial year demonstrate our distribution capability through a challenging period.
"The development of the Company over the last few years, both in terms of infrastructure and client proposition, and our clear, focused business enables us to start the new financial year with confidence that we will continue the success achieved so far.
"Our confidence is reinforced by the fund performance across a breadth of teams and our fierce commitment to active management. This is demonstrated by the fact that 96% of our actively managed unit trust funds by AuM have outperformed their benchmark since launch, objective change or fund manager inception.(1) "
