Asset manager Schroders pushed third quarter pre-tax profits ahead by 53 per cent to £98.1m, despite a net outflow of funds under management.
The lift in profits was achieved through a general shift away from low margin business to higher margin products, such as funds of hedge funds and multi-asset funds.
IC VIEW:
GoodValue
While institutional money has been withdrawn, the retail side, which makes up 60 per cent of assets under management, is still drawing in net investments. At 1,560p the shares remain good value.
Last IC view: Good value, 1,238p, 10 August 2007
