Stock Exchange Announcement

LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC

Trading Update

Liontrust Asset Management Plc ("Liontrust" or the "Group"), the specialist independent fund management group, is today issuing its financial year end trading update for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2018 (the "Period").

Highlights

-- Assets under management ("AuM") were GBP10.5 billion as at close of business on 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: GBP6.5 billion), an increase of GBP4 billion or 61% over the financial year to 31 March 2018

-- Net inflows of GBP255 million in the Period (2017: GBP200 million ) and net inflows for the financial year to 31 March 2018 of GBP1,004 million (2017: GBP482 million)

Commenting, John Ions, Chief Executive, said:

"It has been a very successful and transformational year for Liontrust. We have delivered GBP1 billion of net inflows and a 61% growth in our AuM, reflecting the power of both our fund management and distribution capability and the investment we have made in these areas over the past few years. Liontrust had the 11(th) largest net retail sales in the UK in 2017 and had the 13(th) largest total net sales, according to the Pridham Report.

Having acquired the Sustainable Investment team at the start of the financial year, its AuM has increased by GBP500 million over the past 12 months to reach nearly GBP3 billion. This has positioned us not only with critical mass but a fantastic track record from a long established team. The demand for sustainable investing continues to increase and we are well positioned to benefit from this.

The recruitment of the leading global fixed income team of David Roberts, Phil Milburn and Donald Phillips further demonstrates that Liontrust is well positioned to attract leading industry talent and their first fund - the Ireland-domiciled GF Strategic Bond Fund - will launch this Friday.

Our commitment to active management, driven by strong investment processes, has never been more important as the passive versus active debate continues to divide investors.

The asset management industry is under immense scrutiny from both regulators and, more importantly, investors. This is a time of great opportunity, however, and the successful companies will offer strong long-term performance in line with client expectations combined with first class service and communication.

By continuing to focus on these core objectives, we can engender trust, retain investor loyalty and look forward with confidence."
