Global equities rose from $26.1 billion to $26.3 billion while Australian equities grew from $8 billion to $8.5 billion.

In October, Magellan experienced net outflows of $2.4 billion, which comprised of net retail outflows of $0.4 billion and net institutional outflows of $2.0 billion.
Earlier in the month, chief executive, David George, told the firm’s annual general meeting that he hoped to grow the business to $100 billion in the next five years.
He sought to do this via potential acquisitions, a diversified product mix, improved performance of the flagship Magellan Global fund and to become the partner of choice for wealth managers.
The firm also underwent a shake-up of its investment leadership with George appointed as chief investment officer and infrastructure manager Gerald Stack appointed as deputy chief investment officer.
