Flows

 

Strong market returns over the six months led to client rebalancing, asset allocation changes, and included a large client drawing down cash management capital for acquisitions. Net investment outflows were $564 million for the Group over the period, led by EM, International Equity and KIM strategies, while OV and alternatives had net inflows of $63 million.
