Q1 AUM update

Impax, the AIM-listed specialist investor focused on the transition to a more sustainable economy, today provides an update on the development of its assets under discretionary and advisory management ("AUM") for the first quarter of its financial year.

On 31 December 2024, the Company's AUM totalled £34.1 billion, representing a decrease of 8.3% over the three-month period.

Ian Simm, Chief Executive, commented:

"This quarter we saw relatively high outflows, notably the closure of our smaller mandate with St. James's Place and redemptions driven by industry consolidation in our institutional channel in the Asia-Pacific region. More positively, we have continued to see a slow-down in outflows from our largest European distribution partner, BNP Paribas Asset Management, and from our US mutual funds. 

"As previously announced, we expect the impact of the termination of the larger mandate with St. James's Place to take effect in February 2025.[1]  

"Looking ahead, we believe that Impax's focus on the transition to a more sustainable economy positions us well for investment outperformance. In executing our growth strategy, we intend to further diversify the business by asset class, investment product and distribution channel. In this context, we expect to close shortly the purchase of the European assets of SKY Harbor Capital Management, which will significantly expand our fixed income offering.

"In parallel, we continue to pay close attention to the efficiency of the business and the management of costs in the context of providing an excellent service to clients."
