what happened
According to TradingView, Liontrust Asset Management said net outflows totalled £459m in the three months to 30 September. That is a clear improvement on the £1.2bn recorded in the same period a year earlier. Assets under management and advice stayed broadly flat at £24.1bn.
Chief executive John Ions said the firm had improved investment performance over the past six months and was making progress in distribution both overseas and in the UK. Earlier this month, the company agreed to buy the fund management and model portfolio services business of Hawksmoor, a deal expected to add around £1.9bn of AUMA and to close by the end of December.
At 14:30 BST the shares were down nearly 4% at 284.5p. Berenberg kept its buy rating, saying forecasts now include the expected Hawksmoor contribution, which more than offsets a further cut in margin in the core business.
why it matters
For investors in UK asset managers the signal is mixed: outflows are shrinking, but margin pressure persists. The Hawksmoor acquisition could support revenue in coming periods if integration goes to plan.
