No Goatman- the Polar Cap U.K. value fund has Crest Nicholson shares. Crest Nicholson is a house builder, not an investor in Polar Capital.

"Strong start to FY25 with AUM up 7% in Q1"

AUM was up £1.6bn (+7%) over Q1 of FY25, from £21.9bn on 31 Mar 24 to £23.5bn on 30 Jun. Investment returns were strong over the quarter, contributing +£978m (+4.5%). Pleasingly, net flows continued to gain momentum, contributing +£644m, the second successive quarter of positive net flows (Q4 24: £+56m) - a marked turnaround from the net outflows which characterised calendar 2022 and 2023, when many investors rotated out of equities.

Our fundamental valuation remains 650p, with potential to tick up if AUM remains at or increases from current levels over the next quarter. Given its superior growth rate, niche strategic positioning, strong profit margins and strong balance sheet, we think Polar should trade at a substantial premium PER to most peers, but it does not and so we see potential for a re-rating.

"A sector growth-leader with an 8.5% yield"

Link to research report:

FY24 saw a 14% rise in AUM to £21.9bn on 31 Mar 24. This was the second highest AUM increase among a London-listed peer group. Post year-end, Polar has recorded a further 4% increase in AUM to £22.8bn on 14 Jun 24.

Investment performance was the AUM booster in FY24, adding +£4.3bn or +23%, making Polar a runaway leader compared to other asset managers when it comes to investment returns. While its net flows were negative for the full year at -£1.6bn, this was around the median outflow rate of the peer group. And encouragingly, a return to positive, albeit modest, net flows was recorded in Q4 of FY24 (+£56m), with further positive net flows of +£197m in Q1-25 to date.

Polar started FY25 with an AUM level significantly higher than the average level of FY24, with further positive momentum in Q1-25. Absent any severe AUM pullbacks, this should translate to a solid increase in investment fees and core profitability in FY25.

We also think Polar’s track record will attract significant inflows over the longer term. It has been clear for some time that many investors’ decisions to keep reducing technology (and other equity) exposures after the valuation falls of 2022 have proved costly and resulted in them missing out on exceptional returns. Our fundamental value remains at 650p per share.

Does anyone know if there is withholding tax on dividends for this stock for foreign investors. Most companies on LSE have no withholding tax. I assume this stock also has no WH tax. Can anyone confirm. Thanks

DTH - I doubt US based investors reported probably aren’t going to be investing in Polar funds, unfortunately.
We can live in hope though.

All the Polar trusts have been doing very well of late - PCGH, PCFT, PCT - I'd be very surprised if Polar funds generally aren't attracting new investors

AuM Update

Polar Capital Holdings provides its regular quarterly update of its unaudited statement of its Assets under Management ("AUM") and performance fees earned for the financial year to 31 March 2024.

Group AUM (unaudited)
Polar Capital reports that as at 31 December 2023, AuM were GBP19.6bn compared to GBP19.2bn at the end of March 2023, an increase of 2% over the period. During the nine-month period the GBP400m increase in AuM resulted from a GBP2.1bn increase relating to market movement and fund performance offset by net redemptions of GBP1.7bn.

Gavin Rochussen, CEO, commented: "A strong rally in all major indices in the final calendar quarter of 2023, meant that our AuM at the end of the nine-month period were £19.6bn compared to £19.1bn at the end of the previous quarter and £19.2bn at the end of March 2023, despite net outflows over the period. With peak interest rates in sight and declining inflation rates, investors will, we believe, begin to seek additional exposure to equities. We have a strong pipeline of client interest and have capacity to meet investor demand for our specialist active fund strategies. At the end of the quarter, we launched a Financial Credit Fund, managed by our Financials team, to further add to our offering. Long term performance remains strong with 81% of AuM outperforming respective benchmarks since inception. We remain confident that with our diverse range of differentiated, active specialist fund strategies we are well-positioned to perform for our clients and shareholders over the long term."

AUM flat over the past 6 months

AuM Update

Polar Capital provides a quarterly update of unaudited statement of Assets under Management ("AuM").

Polar Capital reports that as at 30 Sept 2023 its AuM were £19.1bn compared to £19.2bn at the end of March 2023. During the six-month period, AuM decreased by net redemptions of £0.6bn, outflows from fund closures of £50m offset by a £0.5bn increase related to market movement and fund performance.

AuM movement in six months to 30 September 2023

AuM at 1 April 2023: £19,220m
AuM at 30 Sept 2023: £19,135m

Gavin Rochussen, Chief Executive, commented: "There has been continued demand and inflows into the Artificial Intelligence, Japan Value, Emerging Market Stars, Asia Stars and Smart Energy Funds, with combined net inflows of GBP225m across these funds in the quarter. A combination of the continued challenging environment for equity markets, net outflows, fund closures and fund performance meant that our AuM at the end of the six-month period were GBP19.1bn compared to GBP19.7bn at the end of the previous quarter and GBP19.2bn at the end of March 2023. Total net outflows for the quarter were GBP423m. During the quarter, the rate of outflows from the open-ended Technology funds continued to decline, with GBP74m of net outflows compared to GBP103m in the previous quarter and GBP199m in the first quarter of this calendar year. Despite the challenging back drop, we are pleased with the continuing progress in diversifying the business. The Smart funds managed by the Sustainable Thematic team have now collectively reached AuM of GBP280m. The Emerging Market and Asia Stars team now collectively manages GBP1.5bn of AuM and continues its progress in the US with US domiciled vehicles now surpassing GBP125m.

"Later this month the Global Insurance Fund celebrates its 25-year anniversary. Since launch it has delivered strong and consistent annualised returns to shareholders of circa 10% pa, by investing for the long-term in a concentrated portfolio of best-in-class non-life insurers. Insurance sector performance is typically counter-cyclical, offering investors genuine diversification with unique drivers and we look forward to continuing to generate steady returns for our investors for many years to come. We remain confident that with our diverse range of differentiated, active specialist fund strategies we are well-positioned to perform for our clients and shareholders over the long term."
