Liontrust Asset Management PLC on Tuesday reported a decline in assets during the final quarter of its most recent financial year, as a result of wider market uncertainty.
The London-based asset manager offering equity, fixed income, sustainable, multi-asset and real assets funds said assets under management and advice at March 31 were £22.6 billion, down 8.1% from £24.6 billion at January 1.
Assets under management and advice at April 10 were £21.6 billion.
Net outflows during the three months that ended March 31 totalled £1.3 billion, up 8.3% from £1.2 billion the year before.
‘It feels that over the past few years, the only certainty has been uncertainty. The current day-to-day unpredictability and fluctuations in markets reinforces our belief in active management and the long-term power of robust and repeatable investment processes,’ said Chief Executive Officer John Ions.
‘Our focus remains on what is within our control. We continue to develop the business and are confident we have been making the right changes to ensure it is in the best possible shape for the future.’
Liontrust will release results for the year ended March 31 on June 25.
Shares in Liontrust Asset Management were down 0.8% at 332.50 pence each in London on Tuesday afternoon. The stock is down 49% over the past year.
