Mike Faulkner, CEO of River and Mercantile, commented:
Having positioned our clients cautiously in previous periods, I stated in the last trading statement that our macroeconomic signals indicated that risk assets were likely to provide positive returns. We therefore adapted our client portfolios accordingly and were able to capture the market returns for them. This ability to respond quickly to asset allocation opportunities is one of our key differentiating capabilities.
This quarter has seen an increase of more than 6% in AUM/NUM. This is a strong period of growth for the group following the more challenging conditions in the second quarter. It has been very encouraging to see the contribution to growth from both investment performance and net rebalancing.
Investment performance for the period was positive across all divisions, with Fiduciary Management and Equity Solutions adding GBP0.6bn and GBP0.4bn respectively. Additionally, we saw positive flows in Fiduciary Management and a GBP350m inflow into the Group's Dynamic Asset Allocation fund which now has half a billion of AUM and a four and a half year track record.
We continue to have a positive outlook for equity markets from here and the results this period position us well for the final quarter of our financial year.
