Q1 AuM update
Premier Miton Group plc (AIM: PMI) today provides an update on its unaudited statement of Assets under Management ('AuM') for the first quarter of the current financial year ending 30 September 2026 (the 'Quarter' or 'Period').
· AuM of £9.6 billion at 31 December 2025 (30 September 2025: £10.3 billion)
· £870 million of net outflows for the Quarter
· AuM of £9.7 billion estimated at 13 January 2026
Mike O'Shea, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The Group's AuM ended the Quarter at £9.6 billion, a decrease of 7% on the opening position for the Period.
As noted in our recent full‑year trading update, the outflows from our US and European equity strategies continued into the current Period, reflecting investor risk aversion and the rotation away from growth‑oriented equities seen over recent quarters. As envisaged, net outflows from these strategies totalled £550 million for the Quarter. We also experienced net outflows from our UK multi‑cap strategy, consistent with wider industry trends in UK equities.
Of the Group's total net outflows for the Period, £119 million related to previously announced corporate actions and the return of capital arising from two of the Group's investment trusts.
Demand for our fixed income strategies remained robust, with £163 million of net inflows during the Quarter. We continue to see strong interest in these strategies from both wholesale and institutional clients.
We are also pleased to confirm that we are in advanced discussions to on‑board an additional absolute return institutional mandate, which we expect to fund before the end of the next financial quarter with an initial investment of c.$80 million.
Outlook
Although market conditions have been challenging, particularly for active equity managers, we are encouraged by the improvement in short‑term performance across several key strategies, particularly in the US. With interest rates now falling, we believe the environment for active equity investing should become more constructive as we move through 2026.
In the near term, we remain positive about the outlook for our fixed income franchise, which continues to attract significant client interest. We are also pleased with the progress we are making on our international distribution efforts, which we expect to contribute increasingly to future growth. The Group retains a strong product offering, a clear strategy, and we have confidence in the long‑term prospects across our investment capabilities. We remain focused on delivering long‑term value for shareholders and clients, supported by disciplined cost management and ongoing investment in our core capabilities whilst remaining open‑minded about potential M&A opportunities."
