INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
QUARTERLY FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT ("FUM") UPDATE
City of London (LSE: CLIG), a leading specialist asset management group focused on emerging markets and closed-end funds, provides a third quarter trading update for the period 1 January 2018 to 31 March 2018. Total funds under management (FuM) at 31 March 2018 were US$5.4 billion (GBP3.9 billion). This compares with US$5.3 billion (GBP3.9 billion) at the Company's half-year on 31 December 2017. A breakdown by strategy follows:
FuM ($mn) Strategy Index % inc % inc Dec-17 Mar-18 / Net / (estimate) dec Flows dec EM 4,660 4,634 -1% (38) MSCI EM 1% DEV 337 433 28% 102 MSCI ACWI -1% ACWI/Barclays GTAA 139 150 8% 13 Global Agg 0% Frontier 193 202 5% - MSCI Frontier 5% 5,329 5,419 77 ---------- ------- ----------- ------ ------ --------------- ------
Positive relative investment performance was recorded in the Developed strategy, whilst the EM, GTAA and Frontier strategies underperformed. Sharply wider discount movements, driven by increased volatility, drove relative performance, whilst the Developed strategy benefitted from strong NAV performance. Net flows were positive in aggregate over the period, particularly in the Developed strategy which continues to benefit from a focused marketing strategy and excellent long term investment results.
With regards to business development, the Group continues to maintain an active pipeline across all of its major CEF offerings with an increased interest in the diversification CEF strategies. In total the active pipeline is in excess of US$400 million, these include opportunities that are spread across Emerging and Developed Markets, Global Tactical Asset Allocation, Tactical Income, and Frontier CEF strategies.
Operations
The Group's income accrues at a weighted average rate of approximately 80 basis points, net of commissions and custody charges. "Fixed" costs are cGBP1.0 million per month, and accordingly the current run-rate for operating profit, before profit-share at 30%, and an estimated EIP charge of 2%, is approximately GBP1.5 million per month based upon current FuM and a US$/GBP exchange rate of US$1.42 to GBP1.
