Trading Update and Notice of Results
23 April 2024
Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", the "Group") today issues its trading update in respect of the three months to 31 March 2024.
Key points
· Group assets under management (AUM) increased over the first quarter to £52.6bn, driven by positive market movements of £2.0bn.
· We had net outflows of £1.6bn, equally spread across both client channels.
· We generated underlying net inflows of £0.3bn, excluding outflows related to strategies managed by the Value team and to the Chrysalis Investment Trust.
Despite the ongoing challenging backdrop for active asset managers, AUM increased in the first quarter of the year to £52.6bn, driven by £2.0bn of positive market returns.
There were total net outflows of £1.6bn, with £0.8bn from each of the retail, wholesale & investment trusts and institutional channels. These figures include a £0.8bn outflow following the change in arrangements of the management of the Chrysalis Investment Trust.
Also included within these outflows are £1.1bn of net redemptions from strategies managed by the Value team, including £0.7bn from institutional clients. At 31 March 2024, the team managed £7.5bn of externally-managed assets, down from £8.5bn at 31 December 2023.
Excluding these movements, we generated underlying net inflows of £0.3bn. These comprised £0.4bn net inflows in the retail, wholesale & investment trusts channel and a £0.1bn outflow from the institutional channel.
