This was driven by robust net inflows into alternatives as anticipated, as well as performance gains across both alternative and long-only strategies. Engagement with clients remains good, although there is increasing uncertainty due to upcoming political events and current COVID-19 trends.

Our immediate priorities continue to be the health and well-being of our colleagues and the performance of our clients’ assets.
