Trading Update and Notice of Results

13 October 2016

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", the "Group") today issues its trading update in respect of the three months to 30 September 2016.

HIGHLIGHTS

Overall net inflows for the quarter were £789 million, resulting in total AUM at 30 September 2016 of £40.4 billion.

§ Net mutual fund inflows of £767 million in the three months to 30 September 2016.

§ Net segregated mandate inflows of £31 million in the three months to 30 September 2016.

Maarten Slendebroek, Chief Executive, commented:

"We are pleased to report that our mutual fund franchise delivered a strong quarter with net inflows of £0.8 billion, including positive flows from   our segregated mandate channel. This has been achieved against a backdrop of market uncertainty following the UK referendum.  Alongside these flows, we continue to see strong investment performance across our product range."

		30 June  2016 £m	Q3 net flows                          £m	Market/FX movement £m	30 September  2016 £m
	Mutual funds	32,268	767	2,118	35,153

Total AUM increased across the quarter as a result of healthy inflows, weak sterling and positive investment returns.

Net mutual fund inflows were £767 million during the third quarter, with significant inflows into our Absolute Return, Fixed Income and Global Emerging Market strategies and a return to net flows from the Income Trust Fund, within the UK Value Strategy. 

NOTICE OF RESULTS

Jupiter will be issuing its audited results for the period ended 31 December 2016 on 28 February 2017 and will host an analyst presentation to discuss the results at 9:00am. The presentation will be held at The Zig Zag Building, 70 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6SQ.

SUMMARY

Client flows returned to the levels achieved in the first quarter of the year, affirming the confidence we have in our strategy of diversification by product and client type into areas offering potential for long-term growth.  We are confident that, as we extend our relationships with key distributors on a global basis and deliver outperformance after fees, we can continue to deliver growth.

Looking forward towards the end of this year and into 2017, we expect the current challenging environment of changeable markets and regulatory uncertainty to continue, but we believe that the resilience in our business arising from continued diversification, supported by a strong and sustainable balance sheet, leaves us well-placed to progress and to continue to share the rewards of growth with our stakeholders.
