Reason behind the fall in GQG’s quarterly FUM
In the quarter, the company reported a net inflow of US$0.8 billion. The numbers were affected by heightened volatility in currencies, rates and markets. At the same time, the outflow was driven by tax-loss harvesting amongst retail clients and equity de-risking in institutional clients.
GQG informed the market that recent extreme volatility in currencies and gilts resulted in the gross outflow of approximately US$1.5 billion from its UK domiciled clients.
The company added that its recently launched products, such as dividend income strategies and US Equity saw strong traction. The company offers global equity, global quality dividend income, concentrated global equity, international equity, international quality income, emerging markets equity, US equity and US quality dividend income strategies.
Also, significant momentum was observed in the Australian market.
For the quarter, the strength of the US dollar against currencies like the Australian dollar offered a natural hedge to the company’s dividend and earnings.
