Our multi-asset mutual fund range attracted particularly strong inflows ranking third worldwide year-to-date through June.”
He added, “While our macroeconomic outlook remains reasonably optimistic for the rest of the year, we do expect market volatility to remain heightened, largely driven by geopolitical factors. Our priority remains to deliver strong investment results and industry-leading service and support to our valued clients.”
