BTIM chief executive, Emilio Gonzalez said the half-year result was a story of flows.
“In this half, counter to industry trends, we have attracted record net inflows across our diverse range of investment strategies,” he said. “This is the outcome of the consistent execution of our long-term strategy of building and growing a diversified global asset management business.”
