Brooks Macdonald reported ‘positive’ net flows for its investment management business in the UK for the financial third quarter ended 31 March 2021.
The British wealth manager posted net inflows of 0.3% across its UK business in what it called ‘best quarter of the financial year to date.’
The rise was driven by positive net flows in UK Investment Management (UKIM), particularly in the Managed Portfolio Service (MPS).
