London-based Henderson Group saw net inflows of £3 billion in the first quarter of 2014. This sum was attributed to retail client demand in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia.

Moreover, the investment group saw assets under management totalling £79.2 billion, £4 billion higher than the previous quarter.

Andrew Formica, chief executive, said: "Henderson has made a good start to 2014. The strong support we saw from clients at the end of 2013 in our Retail business continued through the first quarter and in our institutional business, flows were stable. Despite recent market volatility, we continue to experience strong client demand but remain ready to take action on costs if there is any significant or sustained change in market conditions. We look forward to continuing to grow our global business."
