Despite a difficult June, we maintained momentum in our Institutions channel, where gross sales were up for a third straight quarter, to a 12-quarter high. However, flows to our Retail channel – particularly in Asia ex-Japan fixed income – were dramatically affected, and we experienced net outflows for the first time in six quarters."
