Flows & Performance
CLIG saw net investment outflows of approximately $172 million during the quarter but at a reduced rate compared with prior quarters, driven primarily by client rebalancing activity, pension de‑risking, and cash needs.
Gross inflows totaled $106 million at CLIM, led by International Equity, alongside $30 million of inflows at KIM, predominantly into Growth Balanced strategies, reflecting selective but sustained demand across the platform. Outflows for CLIM were concentrated in Emerging Markets and International Equity and for KIM, Conservative Balanced.
Market and investment performance was a significant headwind in the quarter, as gains earlier in the quarter were more than offset by heightened volatility and a sharp March drawdown.
Total FuM declined, driven by net outflows and market effects, though strong relative performance continues to support long‑term positioning and marketing efforts underscoring ongoing client engagement with core equity strategies despite a volatile market backdrop.
Dividend
The interim dividend of 11 pence per share was paid on 2 April 2026.
