Jan Witte, CEO of Record plc commented:
“At US$115.9bn, AUM ended another quarter at the highest level we have ever reported, following positive net flows and underlying asset growth. We saw strong inflows and growth in underlying assets for Passive Hedging, and a second successive period of inflows for FX Alpha. It was also an excellent quarter for performance fees, with a further £1.6m earned, bringing total performance fees for the year to date to £2.4m.”
Highlights
· AUM increased to a new high of US$115.9bn driven by both positive net flows and growth in underlying assets, partially offset by FX movements.
