Stock Exchange Announcement

LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC

Half Year End Trading Update

Liontrust Asset Management Plc ("Liontrust"), the specialist independent fund management group, today issues its half year end trading update for the six months ended 30 September 2017.

Highlights

-- Assets under management ("AuM") were GBP9.6 billion(1) as at close of business on 30 September 2017 (31 March 2017: GBP6.5 billion), an increase of over GBP3.1 billion(1) or 48% over the 6 months period

-- Net inflows of GBP156 million in the three months ended 30 September 2017 and GBP178 million for the six months ended 30 September 2017

   --     AuM as at close of business on 9 October 2017 was GBP9.810 billion 

(1) Includes GBP2.5 billion of AuM which was added on completion (1 April 2017) of the acquisition of Alliance Trust Investments Limited ("ATI").

Commenting, John Ions, Chief Executive, said:

"We have delivered another two quarters of positive net inflows in the first half of our financial year, totalling GBP178 million and increasing our AuM to GBP9.8 billion (9 October 2017).

In the six months since we completed the acquisition of Alliance Trust Investments ("ATI"), its assets have grown by more than 10% to GBP2.8 billion. The team has integrated extremely well and, with impressive performance over a long period, it is well placed to benefit from the increasing demand for sustainable investment.

The recent hiring of David Roberts and Phil Milburn from Kames Capital, who will join in January, further diversifies our fund manager capability. They have a successful track record of managing a range of fixed income funds and have a strong following among investors in the UK and Continental Europe.

Asset managers have some key decisions to make over the next year that will determine the shape and success of their businesses in the future. While making these decisions, it is imperative to have a clear vision and focus of what your clients want going forward. Like our investors, we have a long-term goal and are mindful that getting caught up in the short-term noise must not distract us from this.

We are well placed to embrace the opportunities and deal with the challenges of the future. This comes through our ability to adapt, the strength and breadth of our fund management teams, the relationships and engagement we have with our clients, our brand profile and the trust investors place in us, and the fact we have a clear strategy and vision for where we are taking Liontrust."

The market for research is still evolving and we have been engaging with research providers over the last year to agree our requirements going forward. We will be detailing our plans for research and all the other requirements under MiFID II in due course.
