 Total             47.6            48.7

 

AuM increased by US$1.1 billion (+2%) over the period, comprising positive
investment performance of US$1.4 billion and net outflows of US$0.3 billion.

Net flows continued to improve through both higher subscriptions and a further
reduction in redemptions, as investors increasingly recognise the
outperformance and relative attractions of emerging markets. There were net
inflows in the local currency, equity and alternatives themes, and a net
outflow in external debt driven by institutional activity early in the period.
Net flows in blended debt and corporate debt were flat. In aggregate, this
activity delivered a net inflow to the Group's globally-managed strategies.

Emerging markets delivered strong returns over the three months, with fixed
income indices rising by 3% to 5%, and the main equity indices returning
around 10%. Ashmore's active management approach continues to generate
outperformance for clients across the Group's fixed income and equity
strategies.

Mark Coombs, Chief Executive Officer, Ashmore Group plc, commented:

"Emerging markets continue to perform strongly, which, along with Ashmore's
alpha delivery for clients, is leading to broad client engagement and
increasing momentum across the business. This has led to a further improvement
in net flows this quarter. The Group has a consistent strategy for growth and
the focus on building greater scale in equities and alternatives is
successfully delivering net inflows in these investment themes.

"Given the positive emerging markets backdrop, evident risks to investors'
overweight positions in the US, and Ashmore's continued investment
outperformance, the Group is well-positioned to capture additional flows as
investors increasingly look to shift allocations away from the US including
into emerging markets."

Notes

Local currency AuM includes US$7.8 billion of AuM managed in overlay/liquidity
strategies (30 June 2025: US$7.9 billion).
