City of London (LSE: CLIG), a leading specialist asset management group offering a range of institutional products investing in closed-end funds, announces that as at 31 March 2019, FuM were US$5.3 billion (GBP4.1 billion). This compares with US$4.6 billion (GBP3.6 billion) at the Company's half-year on 31 December 2018. A breakdown by strategy follows:

----------------  ------  -------  --------  ------  ---------------  -------- 
 
 

The Emerging Market, Developed and Opportunistic Value Strategies outperformed due to narrowing discounts and to a lesser extent, positive NAV performance. The Frontier Strategy underperformed largely due to unfavourable NAV performance.

During the period under review, the Developed and EM strategies recorded net inflows of US$101 million and US$45 million, respectively. Net flows in the Opportunistic Value and Frontier strategies were essentially flat.

With regard to business development, the Group continues to maintain an active pipeline across all of its major CEF offerings, with increased interest continuing to be seen in the non-Emerging Market CEF strategies (i.e. Developed, Opportunistic Value).

Operations

The Group's income currently accrues at a weighted average rate of approximately 76 basis points of FuM, net of third party commissions. "Fixed" costs are cGBP1.1 million per month, and accordingly the current run-rate for operating profit, before profit-share of 30% and an estimated EIP charge of 5%, is approximately GBP1.5 million per month based upon current FuM and a US$/GBP exchange rate of US$1.3 to GBP1 as at 31 March 2019.

Dividends

An interim dividend of 9 pence per share plus a special dividend of 13.5 pence per share was paid on 22 March 2019. The Board will announce the final dividend on Tuesday 16 July 2019 in its pre-close trading update.
