AUM Update

Polar Capital Holdings plc ("Polar Capital" or the "Group"), the specialist asset management group, today provides its regular quarterly update of its unaudited statement of its Assets under Management ("AUM").

Group AUM (unaudited)

As at 31 December 2012 the Group's AUM have increased by 18% to $6.02bn from the $5.08bn reported at 31 March 2012 and have increased by 42% from the figure of $4.24bn reported at 31 December 2011.

The table below sets out the movements in the Group's AUM over the nine month period:

AUM movement Nine months to 31 December 2012	Long only funds $m	Hedge funds $m	Total $m
As at 31 March 2012	$4,365m	$718m	$5,083m
Net subscriptions	$842m	$81m	$923m
Market movement and performance	$(19)m	$34m	$15m
Total AUM at 31 December 2012	$5,188m	$833m	$6,021m

Comment

In October 2012 we reported that in our first half year, to September 2012, the Group had received $405m of net inflows. It is encouraging to report that the positive flows have continued with a further $518m of net inflows being received in our third quarter, across a range of strategies, taking the year to date net inflows up to $923m.

Assuming market conditions do not deteriorate, we are well positioned to continue to grow our AUM in 2013.
