Brooks Macdonald has said that its funds under management (FUM) fell to £15.52bn in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023.
At the end of 30 June 2022, the end of the firm’s previous financial year, FUM stood at £15.7bn.
For the first quarter ended 30 September 2022, the group’s organic net new business was £191m.
The positive net flows were offset by a dent of £334m due to investment performance amid volatile global markets.
The company note that its overall investment performance during the quarter was negative 2.1%, which is better than the MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Balanced Index, which declined by 3.6%.
Brooks Macdonald CEO Andrew Shepherd said: “Despite the difficult political and economic conditions in our first quarter, net flows were running at an annualised 4.9% – an excellent result, continuing the trend seen in the previous financial year.
