Stock Exchange Announcement
LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC
Trading Update
Liontrust Asset Management Plc ("Liontrust" or the "Company"), the specialist
independent fund management group, today issues its trading update for the
three months ended 30 June 2024 (the "Period").
· Net outflows of £0.9 billion in the Period (2023: £1.6 billion).
· Assets under management and advice ("AuMA") were £27.0 billion as at
30 June 2024, a decrease over the Period of 2.8%.
Commenting, John Ions, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Labour's large majority in last week's General Election should herald a
period of stability that will be positive for financial markets. It is
encouraging that the new government has a pro-growth agenda and is committed
to the simplification of pensions.
Along with falling inflation and the expectation of a reduction in interest
rates, this should encourage international investors to return to the UK and
boost capital flows to the stock market. Given the ever-increasing need for
individuals to save more for their retirement as well, this will significantly
improve the outlook for asset managers.
Liontrust is well placed for this improving environment as we have a strong
brand, distribution, robust investment processes and a leading reputation for
managing UK equities. Liontrust will also benefit from the progress we have
been making in positioning the Group for the future, including further
expanding our investment and distribution capability, increasing client
engagement and enhancing operations."

return, net of fees, based on primary share classes.
Past performance is not a guide to future performance, investments can result
in total loss of capital. The above funds are all UK authorised unit trusts,
OEICs, Irish authorised OEICs (primary share class) or UK listed investment
trusts. Liontrust Russia Fund is not included as it is currently suspended and
in an IA sector that is not rankable (e.g., Specialist) so it would not be a
fair comparison to make. Edinburgh Investment Trust Plc uses the IT UK Equity
Income sector.
