what happened
UK fund house Liontrust Asset Management published its results on Wednesday, showing that money leaving the firm in the second quarter fell to £459 million ($613.6 million). A year earlier the figure stood at £1.24 billion, according to Reuters.
Retail funds and model portfolios in Britain lost £666 million, which exceeded the £209 million that flowed into institutional accounts. The company credited a shift of capital away from American shares, solid interest in its European strategies, and a wider international sales footprint.
Assets under management and advice slipped slightly from the prior quarter to £24.06 billion. Liontrust also expects roughly £1.9 billion to arrive from the Hawksmoor acquisition by year-end.
why it matters
The figures point to a split in client behaviour: institutions are returning while private investors keep reducing exposure to UK-managed funds. For listed asset managers, steady inflows and the trend in assets under management are the key measures to watch in quarterly updates.
