Stock Exchange Announcement

LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC

Trading Update

Liontrust Asset Management Plc ("Liontrust"), the specialist independent fund management group, today issues a trading update for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2019 (the "Period").

Highlights

-- Assets under management ("AuM") were GBP12.7 billion as at close of business on 31 March 2019 (31 March 2018: GBP10.5 billion, 31 December 2018: GBP11.2 billion), an increase of 13% over the Period and 21% over the financial year to 31 March 2019

-- Net inflows of GBP581 million in the Period (2018: GBP255 million ) and net inflows for the financial year to 31 March 2019 of GBP1,775 million (2018: GBP1,004 million)

Commenting, John Ions, Chief Executive, said:

"It has been a successful year for Liontrust. Our AuM has increased by 21% to GBP12.7 billion, which has been driven by record net inflows of GBP1.8 billion. Over the past three months alone, we have delivered net inflows of GBP581 million.

This success comes at a challenging time, with negative retail fund flows across the UK industry as a whole in six of the last seven months up to and including February 2019. Equity funds in aggregate have suffered net outflows in nine out of the last 10 months, totalling GBP3.5 billion (Source: Investment Association).

The continued growth in our sales and AuM is testament to the quality of the investment talent at Liontrust and the broader breadth of asset classes and approaches we now offer.

Our Economic Advantage team continue to deliver strong performance and net inflows for their Special Situations, UK Small Companies and UK Micro Cap funds.

The Global Fixed Income team of David Roberts, Phil Milburn and Donald Phillips joined Liontrust early in 2018. With the one year anniversary of their first fund launch approaching on 13 April, the team are managing a total of GBP419 million. This shows the high regard in which investors hold this fund management team, their experience and track record.

We continue to see increasing interest in and flows into our sustainable funds. This is an ever-more competitive area as investor demand for sustainability grows, we are confident about the outlook for our team and the proposition they offer investors. The Liontrust team has a track record of more than 18 years of managing sustainable investments, a robust investment process and a broad range of single strategy and managed equity and fixed income funds.

The strength of our sales and marketing teams is shown by the increasing reach of our distribution in the UK and continental Europe. This is reflected in the fact Liontrust had the 6(th) highest net retail sales of UK domiciled funds and the 7(th) highest total net sales (including non-UK domiciled funds) in the UK in 2018 according to the Pridham Report, which analyses flows for the asset management industry.

We have further developed the infrastructure of the business and will complete the move of all our fund ranges to one administrator - Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM) - later this month. The consolidation of our funds with BNYM will provide efficiencies and provide a great foundation to build on for the future.

These developments and the quality of our fund management capability give me great confidence for our new financial year."
