Oct 7 (Reuters) - British wealth manager Liontrust Asset Management LIO.L on Tuesday reported higher outflows in the second quarter as new client mandates and investments progressed more slowly than expected.
The company's net outflows stood at 1.2 billion pounds ($1.61 billion) for the three months ended September 30, above the 1.1 billion pounds it reported a year earlier.
Its assets under management and advice fell 2.7% in the quarter, with brokerage Peel Hunt pointing to rising markets only partly offsetting outflows.
