Liontrust Asset Management Share Discussion Threads

That's an impressive set of results- dividend increase looks very confident

I bought too soon, clearly - and didn't take the opportunity to top-slice on the dcb.

Can see LIO going either way from here - OK results and a market dcb, or continued market weakness and joining the "deep value, dirt cheap, but going lower" club populated by the likes of the housebuilders.

Conclusion: "It's either going up or going down" :)

Several of their big funds (which make up a large part of AUM) seem to be struggling recently - for instance, weak performance for Sustainable Global Growth and UK Special Situations. Combination of market falls and outflows could have quite a large impact in profits. It was very overvalued before, but still not tempted.

Premier Miton had very respectable half year results today.

I think it is logical to expect the same here.

[spectoacc] 12/5/2022 07:15

Likely too soon if it's crash time, & little support, but LIO around £10 looks good to me & have bought in.

Expected full year EPS for financial year to 31-MAR-2022?

Finance industry tables show Liontrust's funds to be consistently in the number 1 or 2 spot.

This is a leveraged play on share price performances in general.

[weemonkey] 12/4/2022 14:27

As the TS showed their funds are best in class. No doubt this explains why AUM continue to grow.

The share price recovers in time.. too good at what they do for it not to.

[topvest] 12/4/2022 09:10

Agreed - fairly positive. Majedie was a very good deal at that price. Their investment style is coming back into favour. I think this will make a material difference to Liontrust medium term in terms of growing their institutional and possibly their investment trust business.

[undervaluedassets] 12/4/2022 07:55

Not a lot wrong with that statement.

[growthpotential] 04/4/2022 19:39

Only a matter of time before this takes off. I guess if that takes us to the next earnings update so be it!

[gsbmba99] 01/4/2022 10:58

From Singers note this morning: "The Majedie acquisition has now completed, adding £5.2bn AuM (vs £5.8bn at announcement). Yes, AuM has been subject to headwinds (geopolitical uncertainty) but has fallen only 7% to £33.4bn vs £36bn at 14/1. We expect more detail at the Q4 AuM Update (exp’d 12/4), when we will update our forecasts formally, but estimate that marking our model to this Q4 AuM will reduce our FY23e EPS by 10-15% to 115-120p (no FY22e impact). We do not feel that a mechanical EPS downgrade of this size warrants the 40% YTD share price decline, when evidently flows may have slowed but there is no sense that AuM growth has more than paused."

Their Majedie acquisition is a very good deal in my view. Not happy being a Majedie shareholder, but they will be good for Liontrust on the other side. Value investing is also back and plays to Majedie's strengths!

Good work undervalueassets.

[undervaluedassets] 29/3/2022 11:37

I have bought a few.

(I should say a few more. I have had a sliver from 2014.)

Liontrust is off some 50% since the start of the year.

However I graphed the performance of all the Liontrust funds (all 299 of them) using Sharescope . They are down only 8% since the start of the year. (But up 180% since 2009 (inc pedestrian bond funds)). A stellar performance

I think it safe to say that with underlying funds only down 8% and the shares off 50%, the shares are a value proposition

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 29/3/2022 07:30

£300,000.
A very confident purchase by someone connected to management!

[growthpotential] 17/3/2022 17:39

Dude, there's almost twice the dividend cover

[pyemckay] 11/3/2022 16:49

every 5% decline in equity markets=9% decline in LIO EPS 👀.

[arja] 10/3/2022 21:29

high p/e and earnings barely cover the dividend . still seems overvalued after a quick look at the financials / . had a writeup in City Wire .

[its the oxman] 03/3/2022 15:43

Bought a few today sub 1300p.

[topvest] 01/3/2022 15:28

About £50m in a Russian fund from what I can work out, which has been suspended. Yes, massive sell-off. Seems overdone to me!

[spawny100] 01/3/2022 15:23

Have these got interests in Russia perhaps? Seem ridiculously hard hit compared to eg MNG and POLR today.

[topvest] 01/3/2022 15:11

I've just bought a few as down nearly 50% from the top. It's a high quality fund manager and it's been on my watch list for a long time. Nice to also see Majedie Asset Management joining at a point in the cycle where they may do better than most.

...from last year...

Liontrust Asset Management, is an asset management group offering a range of products, such as Unit Trusts, Offshore funds, Segregated Mandates and Discretionary Portfolio Management Services. Funds include multi-asset, equity and fixed income. Current market cap is around £1.2b.

PMI today announced another sizeable increase in its AUM (assets under management) to £33.6b  at end-Q2 (£34.0b. by early July), from £30.9b. at end Q1, an increase of 8.5% over the quarter. Of this increase, net new inflows through the quarter were £1.0b. This is a pretty impressive increase in new business, helped along by positive news for the Group which undeniably helps the brand....
