Magellan has seen funds under management fall to $50.2 billion after seeing a return to positive flows in October.
As of 30 November, 2022, total funds under management were $50.2 billion, down from $51 billion at the end of October.
The $2.5 billion outflows consisted of $1.9 billion institutional outflows and $0.6 billion in retail outflows.
October had been the first month in several that the asset manager had seen positive growth after months of outflows when it rose modestly from $50.9 billion to $51 billion.
Global equities fell from $26.3 billion to $24.6 billion, a decline of 6.4%.
