Q1 AUM update

Impax, the AIM listed specialist investor focused on a more sustainable economy, today provides an update on the development of its assets under discretionary and advisory management ("AUM") for the first quarter of its financial year.

On 31 December 2020, the Company's AUM totalled GBP25.2 billion, representing an increase of 24.8% for the quarter and a new record high.

Ian Simm, Chief Executive, commented:

" Despite these difficult times, I am pleased to report that Impax has again demonstrated its resilience and delivered another quarter of strong growth. After a year dominated by the effects of COVID-19, there are strong reasons to believe that the business opportunities arising from the transition to a more sustainable global economy will be increasingly attractive to companies and the investors that back them. Against this backdrop, Impax is well placed to extend its well-established franchise as a specialist investment manager ."

The table below sets out further details of the movements in the Company's AUM for the quarter ended 31 December 2020.
