By GlobalData“Net inflows for the first half of our financial year were £723 million. This was a strong performance given the environment of investor, economic and political uncertainty. The level of this achievement is shown by the fact that for the third quarter of 2018, Liontrust had the 5th highest net onshore and offshore sales across institutional and retail markets.”
Meanwhile, Liontrust has appointed Alastair Barbour as its new chairman, replacing Adrian Collins who will retire next year.
Currently, Barbour is a non-executive director on the Liontrust board, which he joined in April 2011. He previously worked as a partner of KPMG.
