Chief executive Mike O’Shea commented: “We are delighted that the merger between Premier Asset Management Group plc and Miton Group plc was completed mid-way through the Period under review. Although it is still early days, progress has been swift in terms of creating the management structure for the new group and the planned synergies are now underway. We will update shareholders following the end of the half year period on progress.
“With UK political uncertainty beginning to lift, we believe that investor confidence will improve in 2020. Against an expected more favourable background, we believe the combination of our broader product range, strong investment performance across different investment strategies, including our equity and multi-asset funds, and our enlarged distribution and marketing capabilities, means we are well placed for future growth.”
The Premier- Miton merger was announced in September 2019. Subsequently, the all-stock transaction secured shareholders’ and regulatory approvals.
