Hardman & Co Insight - Asset managers had a poor 2022

Asset managers had a poor 2022: the S&P Composite 1500 Asset Management Index was down 22% and, according to the Investment Company Institute (ICI), worldwide mutual funds fell by 20%, from $76tr to $60tr. When bond and equity markets fall, the results are unlikely to be pretty: with revenues trending down and multiples contracting, there is a double whammy to contend with. So how do valuations shape up now, after a bullish start to the new year? The first chart is my favourite chart of asset m

Balancing act

Over the past three years, trusts with blended approaches rather than a strong tilt to growth or value have been at or near the top of the pack across the developed equities sectors, benefitting from their flexibility in a period of extreme style gyrations.

Jarvis Securities - In line with expectations in a challenging year; Skilled Person enquiry ongoing

Today's announcement from JIM reflects a year which saw challenges both in underlying terms and in relation to the ongoing Section 166 process. Trading volumes have remained under pressure against a choppy economic backdrop. Voluntary requirement (VREQ) restrictions placed on “Model B” clients have led to a reduction in client numbers in this category, although numbers have remained stable since the Q3 completion of assessments. The company did benefit from rising interest rates, a significant p

Molten Ventures - Making progress on its realisation agenda

Molten Ventures has recently completed the exits from Perkbox, Endomag and Graphcore. This translates into more than £70m realisation proceeds, which means Molten is on track to reach the £100m that management expects for FY25. As a result, Molten has announced a £10m buyback programme (starting on 26 July), in line with its recently updated capital allocation policy of earmarking at least 10% of realisation proceeds for share repurchases. Molten has also agreed a new £180m debt facility that re

AUM down in Q3, another fixed income acquisition

AUM declined over Q3 of FY24 from £39.6bn on 31 Mar 24 to £36.9bn on 30 Jun 24, a fall of 6.8%. That offsets a 5.9% increase over H1, resulting in AUM being down 1.3% over the first 9 months of FY24. Net flows and market movements / investment performance were negative in the quarter, -£1.89bn and -£0.81bn respectively. Impax noted that outflows were dominated by its wholesale channel, with some clients continuing to rotate out of equities, although outflows eased in key parts of its European op

Jarvis Securities - Q1 DPS announcement pending eventual completion of Skilled Person Report

Today's RNS from JIM is brief and economical as they generally are in terms of the quarterly DPS announcement and announces what would appear to be a prudent number, 1.75p. This marks a return to payment of the DPS after Q4-2023, when no dividend was paid.
