Impax Asset Management Group PLC (IPX.L), a prominent investment and asset management firm based in London, announced an 8.3% decrease in Assets Under Management (AUM) for the first quarter, which resulted in a subsequent drop in the company's share value.
The firm disclosed that total AUM had fallen to £34.12 billion as of December 31, down from £37.19 billion on September 30. Within this total, fixed income assets comprised £1.48 billion, a slight decrease from £1.49 billion in the previous year. Conversely, private market assets rose to £689 million in the first quarter, compared to £601 million year-over-year.
Following this announcement, Impax's share price declined by 3.4%, settling at 234.33 pence per share in London.
The company attributed the reduction in AUM to "relatively high outflows," notably due to the termination of a mandate with the London-based financial advisory firm, St James's Place PLC. Additionally, Impax cited industry consolidation trends in the Asia-Pacific region as a contributing factor.
Nevertheless, Impax noted that there is a gradual decrease in outflows from U.S. mutual funds and its largest European partner, BNP Paribas SA.
On Wednesday, shares of IPX.L closed at $224, reflecting a 7.63% decrease on the London Stock Exchange.
