AuM at the group’s investment management unit increased 3% to CHF67.3bn from CHF65.5bn as at 30 June 2016. The company attributed the rise to the addition of CHF2.2bn from the acquisition of Taube Hodson Stonex (THS) and a net CHF1.4bn positive impact from market and foreign exchange movements.
The division’s net outflows stood at CHF1.8bn as net inflows in fixed income were more than offset by redemptions in other capabilities.
