City of London issued a trading statement for the FY third quarter. Funds under management have benefitted from the equity market recovery and finished the quarter at $3.9bn, a 3% rise over the figure at the end of 2015. Unfortunately this lagged the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rise of 6%. The main factor in this lag was underperformance, with discounts on the underlying Closed End Funds widening and an overweight exposure to small-cap companies within those funds. This follows a lengthy period of outperformance and annualised figures remain first or second quartile across all periods.
