U.S. stocks edge higher; solid earnings season continues
Investing.com - Liontrust Asset Management (LSE:LON:LIO) on Thursday reported flat assets under management (AUM) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with total AUM holding steady at £22.6 billion, in line with consensus expectations.
The London-based asset manager posted net outflows of £1.09 billion for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, slightly better than consensus expectations of £1.15 billion outflows.
This marks the third consecutive quarter of improving net flows, though outflows still represent approximately 20% of opening AUM on an annualized basis.
International funds provided a bright spot in the quarterly update, with Liontrust reporting net inflows in this segment that helped offset outflows elsewhere.
The negative flows across the business were completely counterbalanced by positive market movements, allowing total AUM to remain unchanged quarter-over-quarter.
Performance metrics remain strong for Liontrust’s fund lineup, with 73% of funds ranking in the first or second quartile of their respective sectors as of June 30, 2025.
The company’s European Dynamic fund continues to show strong performance, potentially positioning it to benefit from current market trends.
In its outlook, Liontrust highlighted that institutional clients are increasingly turning toward actively managed funds and geographic diversification, noting that European and UK markets outperformed the US during the first half of 2025.
