Gross inflows in the quarter of £6.8 billion (3 months to 30 September 2013: £9.6 billion) in the face of weaker investor sentiment &bull

(2) Business flows Weaker sentiment, particularly towards emerging markets, continued to weigh on investors’ minds during the quarter. We saw this reflected in reduced gross new business wins for the quarter of £6.8 billion (quarter to 30 September 2013: £9.6 billion). The slowdown in inflows was felt mainly in equities. The blended average fee rate earned on AuM has continued to improve, to 51.3 basis points (year to 30 September 2013: 50.0 basis points) as new business inflows are being won at reasonably healthy fee rates. However, given that we expect market conditions to remain difficult, we are also acting to reduce discretionary operating costs. Despite the difficult market conditions during the quarter, we built a good new business pipeline of approximately £2 billion which will be invested in the coming months across a range of capabilities including emerging markets (bonds and equities), Japanese equities, money markets and Nordic property. Outflows for the quarter reduced to £11.2 billion (quarter to 30 September 2013: £13.2 billion), resulting in net outflows for the quarter of £4.4 billion (30 September 2013: net outflows of £3.6 billion). Outflows from global equities were largely the result of strategic asset allocation changes made by two segregated clients, whilst flows out of our fixed income and solutions businesses were mainly redemptions from lower margin products. Encouragingly we recorded net inflows into emerging markets bonds, high yield and property; three capabilities which are key elements of our global distribution strategy. An analysis of the new business figures for the quarter to 31 December 2013 is provided at the end of this statement. Investment performance Our equity process is focused on investing for the long term and our long term performance is compelling. However, there will be circumstances which will result in periods of shorter term underperformance. During 2013 we saw lower quality, more cyclical companies – which are not typical Aberdeen holdings – rally over the year. Our Asian, emerging market and global portfolios were also overweight markets where there was considerable currency weakness.. Most of our main fixed income strategies are ahead of their benchmarks over one, three and five years. Outlook We believe that further volatility in markets and investor sentiment is likely in the coming months, but we will not be deflected from our focus on adding value for our clients and shareholders through our focus on our long term investment philosophy. Our application for regulatory approval for our strategic relationship with Lloyds Banking Group, including the acquisition of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, continues to progress and we look forward to the opportunity to begin the integration of this transaction.

In our experience it has never ultimately been rewarding to chase performance, instead our focus remains on undertaking our own detailed research and investing in companies we believe offer both good quality and attractive valuations. Eventually the market will return to focusing on corporate fundamentals - the higher quality companies. In short we do not expect to make any significant changes to the structure of our portfolios..
