Gavin Rochussen, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The last six months have been challenging for all asset
management firms, whatever their size or business model."
"At some point, as inflation stabilises and interest rates peak,
investors will require increased market exposure and we are well
placed to benefit from this demand."
"Against this background, we are pleased to report that there is
a strong pipeline of interest in many of Polar Capital's strategies
and the short list of new potential investment teams is larger than
for many years."
"In the six months to 30 September 2022, AuM declined by
GBP3.3bn from GBP22.1bn to GBP18.8bn, a decrease of 15% over the
period which comprised of net redemptions of GBP0.8bn, outflows
from previously reported fund closures of GBP0.5bn and GBP2.0bn
decrease relating to market movement and fund performance."
"Despite the reduction in adjusted diluted core EPS, the first
interim dividend has been maintained at 14p, reflecting our
confidence in the business and the strength of our balance
sheet."
"The Group launched two new Article 9 strategies one year ago,
Smart Energy and Smart Mobility, investing in decarbonisation,
electrification and sustainable transport themes. Our sustainable
thematic equity team, led by Thiemo Lang, has been successful in
raising assets and both funds have delivered returns ahead of the
MSCI All Countries World Index in the first half of our financial
year."
"With the attainment of a highly credible four-year track record
since joining Polar Capital, the AuM in the sustainable Emerging
Market Stars suite of fund strategies now exceeds GBP1.1bn and has
been instrumental in establishing a meaningful and valued client
base in the Nordic region and building our presence in the US."
" Our diverse and differentiated range of sector, thematic and
regional fund strategies where 73%, 87%, 86% and 93% of our AuM is
in the top two quartiles against peers over one year, three years,
five years and since inception, our improved distribution
capability and significant remaining capacity gives us confidence
that we will perform for our clients and shareholders over the long
term."

Chief Executive's Report
Market Overview
The first half of Polar Capital's financial year ended on a weak
note in global bond and equity markets. September 2022 was
particularly brutal, with most regional equity indices falling by
between 9% and 12% in US dollar terms, concluding a six-month
period in which many equity markets entered bear territory.
With reported inflation rising and central banks starting to
wind down asset purchase programmes, there was downward pressure on
bond prices too, with conventional and inflation linked bond
indices often declining by as much as equity indices. This was
particularly marked in the UK, in part due to the unfunded tax cuts
announced in the late September 2022 mini budget. The unusual
circumstances which have resulted in bond and equity markets
falling at the same time have been painful for many investors, with
data suggesting that a 'balanced' portfolio of bonds and equities
is experiencing its worst year for at least a century, and that a
GDP weighted world government bond index is on track for its worst
annualised return since 1920.
Corporate earnings revisions have been declining across all
regions as tougher business conditions lead to more cautious
forecasts, although sales estimates by contrast are still
reasonably strong, boosted by inflation.
Investors often observe that there is aways a bull market in
something. So far in 2022, energy companies' share prices have
risen sharply, in contrast to all other equity market sectors. The
other big winner has been the US dollar, which as usual has been a
beneficiary of investor caution.
The outperformance of energy and resource companies versus
broader equity market indices has contributed to a marked change in
equity market leadership, with 'value' as a style performing much
better in 2022 than 'growth' and 'quality'. With interest rates
rising, growth stock valuations have proven vulnerable, and many
have fallen sharply.
Fund Performance
Equity markets have in the main fallen this year. Investors have
been in a risk averse mood as economic and geopolitical uncertainty
remains high. Measures of investor sentiment and positioning are
now very cautious if survey data is accurate. This can be a
contrarian indicator, although in the current climate it is
difficult to see investors becoming more constructive while the US
Federal Reserve is so firmly in inflation-fighting,
policy-tightening territory.
This backdrop has led to falling asset values across the
majority of Polar Capital's portfolios in the six months to 30
September 2022, other than for sterling-denominated share classes
of funds which invest significantly in dollar denominated assets,
where dollar strength has been a tailwind.
With rising interest rates leading to outperformance of value
styles versus growth this year, other than during a brief
mid-summer phase when investors embraced the Fed 'pivot', the
outperformers in Polar Capital's fund range have been those funds
with a value tilt.
Our value style funds, many with smaller AuM than the growth
style funds, have outperformed benchmark over three and five
years.
Polar Capital Global Convertible Fund, European ex-UK Income
Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, Biotechnology Fund, Healthcare
Discovery Fund, Global Insurance Fund and Japan Value Fund have all
outperformed their respective benchmarks in the calendar year-to
date.
Polar Capital Global Insurance Fund, which has no exposure to
life insurance companies, has had a strong year and has returned
12% YTD, outperforming its benchmark by 7%.
Polar Capital UK Value Opportunities Fund has materially
underperformed its benchmark as it has high exposure to small and
mid-cap domestic companies which have been de-rated due to the
weakening UK economy. The performance of the benchmark (FTSE All
Share) has been driven by oil and resources.
Polar Capital Global Technology Fund's performance has improved
but remains well off its high-water mark due to a challenging
2021.
The Group launched two new Article 9 strategies one year ago,
Smart Energy and Smart Mobility, investing in decarbonisation,
electrification and sustainable transport themes. Our sustainable
thematic equity team, led by Thiemo Lang, has been successful in
raising assets and both funds have delivered returns ahead of the
MSCI All Countries World Index in the first half of our financial
year.
AuM and Fund Flows
In the six months to 30 September 2022, AuM declined by GBP3.3bn
from GBP22.1bn to GBP18.8bn, a decrease of 15% over the period. The
GBP3.3bn decrease in AuM comprised net redemptions of GBP0.8bn,
outflows from previously reported fund closures of GBP0.5bn and
GBP2.0bn decrease relating to market movement and fund performance.
Excluding outflows from fund closures, there were net outflows of
GBP30m from segregated mandates, net share buy-backs of GBP62m by
the investment trusts and net outflows of GBP753m from the
open-ended funds.
In the six months, the largest beneficiary of net inflows was
the Global Insurance Fund which had GBP258m of net inflows. Against
a tough back drop and muted investor demand for emerging markets
equities, our sustainability oriented Emerging Market Stars fund
range had GBP101m of net inflows, gaining market share as the asset
class was in outflow over the period. Within the healthcare suite
of funds, the Biotechnology Fund and Healthcare Blue Chip Fund
benefited from combined net inflows of GBP66m. The Polar Capital
Smart Energy and Smart Mobility Funds had combined net inflows of
GBP44m, an impressive outcome given the funds were launched in the
fourth quarter of 2021.
On the back of outstanding fund performance, the European ex UK
Income Fund had net inflows as did the Global Convertible Bond
Absolute Return Fund.
The Technology Fund, continued to suffer redemptions as clients
reduced their allocations to the technology sector. Net outflows
from the Technology Fund were GBP569m in the period and share buy
backs by the Technology Investment Trust amounted to GBP59m. The
period under review also witnessed significantly reduced client
demand for UK and European equity exposure with investors cutting
exposure to these two regions significantly. The UK Value
Opportunities Funds had net outflows of GBP260m and the Melchior
European Opportunities Fund had redemptions of GBP99m.
As previously reported, the closure and termination of the
Phaeacian Partners venture resulted in outflows due to fund
closures of GBP459m in the period.
The Polar Capital North American Fund continued to experience
net outflows as clients reduced US equity exposure - net outflows
in the period were GBP68m. The Healthcare Opportunities Fund, with
small and mid-cap healthcare exposure suffered net outflows of
GBP71m during the period.
Other funds experiencing outflows in the period were the Global
Convertible Bond Fund, Automation and Artificial Intelligence Fund,
and to a lesser extent Japan Value, Income Opportunities and
Financial Opportunities Funds.
Financial Results
Average AuM over the six months to 30 September 2022 decreased
by 14% from GBP23.2bn to GBP20bn. The decrease in average AuM
resulted in net management fees , after commission and rebates
payable, decreasing by 14% to GBP80m from GBP92.9m in the
comparable six-month period. Management fee yield margin declined,
as anticipated, by 3bp to 80bp over the period compared to the
comparable prior six-month period.
Core operating profit (excluding performance fees, other income,
and exceptional items) was down 29% to GBP25.8m compared to the
comparable prior half year period and down 22% from GBP33.1m in the
immediately preceding six-month period to 31 March 2022.
Profit before tax decreased by 27% to GBP23.0m compared to the
comparable prior half year period. Basic EPS decreased by 33%
compared to the half year period to 30 September 2021. Adjusted
diluted core EPS of 20.1p is a 21% decrease on the immediately
preceding six months to 31 March 2022 and a 29% decrease over the
comparable half year period to 30 September 2021.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 14p to be paid in
January 2023 (January 2022: 14p). Maintaining the first interim
dividend despite a reduction in adjusted diluted core EPS reflects
our confidence in the business and the strength of our balance
sheet. Historically, the first interim dividend has been set at
half of first half core EPS. Maintaining last year's first interim
dividend of 14p represents a covered dividend that is 69% of first
half adjusted diluted core EPS.
Strategic progress and thanks
The sustainable thematic team that joined Polar Capital in
September 2021 and the launch of the Polar Capital Smart Energy and
Smart Mobility Funds have attracted encouraging inflows in the six
months with AuM at 30 September 2022 exceeding GBP150m. This
provides confidence that material capacity in these sustainable
thematic fund strategies will be utilised in the coming years
providing increased diversification of our fund strategies across
teams.
Further progress has been made in developing distribution
channels in Asia with the imminent opening of an office in
Singapore. The Nordic region has continued to grow through
additional flows into the sustainable Emerging Market Stars funds
and there is promising interest in the Smart Energy and Smart
Mobility funds.
With the attainment of a highly credible four-year track record
since joining Polar Capital, the AuM in the sustainable Emerging
Market Stars suite of fund strategies now exceeds GBP1.1bn and has
been instrumental in establishing a meaningful and valued client
base in the Nordic region and building our presence in the US.
Our fund range continues to be nominated for a number of awards
this year which is testament to the quality of our fund range. A
particular highlight, having launched four years ago, our Emerging
Market Stars team were shortlisted for six awards - including best
Sustainable Emerging Markets Fund - and won two awards - including
Emerging Markets Manager of the Year - with a further yet to be
announced. Separately, having invested significantly in our
Marketing capability over the past three years, it was pleasing
that we were shortlisted in five categories at the Investment Week
Marketing and Innovation Awards, with our website being highly
commended.
The last six months have been challenging as the rate of
inflation has surged resulting in interest rate hikes. While this
macro backdrop has given rise to volatile and unpredictable
markets, the proven investment processes of our experienced
managers have held up well. While clients have reduced equity
weightings resulting in redemptions, we have not had investors
withdrawing completely from our funds. At some point, as inflation
stabilises and interest rates peak, investors will require
increased market exposure and we are well placed to benefit from
this demand.
We are grateful for the support of our clients and the support
and commitment from our partners and staff during this volatile and
challenging period.
Outlook
Our diverse and differentiated range of sector, thematic and
regional fund strategies where 73%, 87%, 86% and 93% of our AuM is
in the top two quartiles against peers over one year, three years,
five years and since inception, our improved distribution
capability and significant remaining capacity gives us confidence
that we will perform for our clients and shareholders over the long
term.

Summary of non-GAAP financial performance and reconciliation of
APMs to interim reported results
The summary below reconciles key APMs the Group measures to its
interim reported results for the current year and also reclassifies
the line-by-line impact on consolidation of seed investments to
provide a clearer understanding of the Group's core business
operation of fund management.
Any seed investments in newly launched or nascent funds, where
the Group is determined to have control, are consolidated. As a
consequence, the statement of profit or loss of the fund is
consolidated into that of the Group on a line-by-line basis. Any
seed investments that are not consolidated are fair valued through
a single line item (other income) on the Group consolidated
statement of profit or loss.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements
For the six months to 30 September 2022
1. General Information, Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies
1.1 General information
Polar Capital Holdings plc ("the Company") is a public limited
Company registered in England and Wales.
1.2 Basis of Preparation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements to 30 September 2022 have been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include all the information and disclosures
required in annual financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31
March 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted
international accounting standards and in conformity with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The accounting policies adopted and the estimates and judgements
used in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are consistent with the Group's
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
1.3 Group information
The Group is required to consolidate seed capital investments
where it is deemed to control them. The operating subsidiaries and
seed capital investments consolidated at 30 September 2022 are
consistent with the annual report at 31 March 2022 except for Polar
Capital Emerging Market Stars Fund, the US 40-Act mutual fund,
which has been deconsolidated effective 31 July 2022.
1.4 Going concern
The Directors have made an assessment of going concern taking
into account both the Group's current results as well as the
Group's outlook. As part of this assessment the Directors have used
information available to the date of issue of these interim
financial statements and considered the following key areas:
-- Analysis of the Group's budget for the year ending March
2023, longer-term financial projections and its regulatory capital
position and forecasts. The stress testing scenarios applied as
part of the Group's ICARA have also been revisited to ensure they
remain appropriate.
-- Cash flow forecasts and an analysis of the Group's liquid
assets, which include cash and cash equivalents and seed
investments.
-- The operational resilience of the Group and its ability to
meet client servicing demands across all areas of the Group's
business, including outsourced functions, whilst ensuring the
wellbeing and health of its staff.
The Group continues to maintain a robust financial resources
position, access to cashflow from ongoing investment management
contracts and the Directors believe that the Group is well placed
to manage its business risks. The Directors also have a reasonable
expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue
operating for a period of at least 12 months from the balance sheet
date. Therefore, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial
statements.

---------------------------------- ---------------- ----------------
Certain employees of the Group and partners of Polar Capital LLP
hold Manager Preference Shares or Manager Team Member Preference
Shares (together 'Preference Shares') in Polar Capital Partners
Limited, a group company.
The preference shares are designed to incentivise and retain the
Group's fund management teams. These shares provide each manager
with an economic interest in the funds that they run and ultimately
enable the manager, at their option and at a future date, to
convert their interest in the revenues generated from their funds
to a value that may (at the discretion of the parent undertaking,
Polar Capital Holdings plc) be satisfied by the issue of ordinary
shares in Polar Capital Holdings plc. Such conversion takes place
according to a pre-defined conversion formula intended to be
earnings enhancing for the Group and that considers the relative
contribution of the manager to the Group as a whole. The equity is
awarded in return for the forfeiture of a manager's current core
economic interest and is issued over three years from the date of
conversion.
No conversion of preference shares have taken place during the
period to 30 September 2022 (2021: The Biotechnology team called
for a full conversion and the Convertible team called for a partial
conversion of preference shares into Polar Capital Holdings
equity).
At 30 September 2022, five sets of preference shares (2021:
three sets) have the right to call for conversion.
The following table illustrates the number of, and movements in,
the estimated number of ordinary shares to be issued.

adjustment recognised in the current period.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis or
more frequently when there are indications that goodwill may be
impaired.
The Group has reviewed the investment management contracts
related intangible assets as at 30 September 2022 and has concluded
that there are no indicators of impairment.

10. Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in
active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to
quoted market prices or dealer price quotation (bid price for long
positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction
for transaction costs. For financial instruments not traded in an
active market, such as forward exchange contracts, the fair value
is determined using appropriate valuation techniques that take into
account the terms and conditions and use observable market data,
such as spot and forward rates, as inputs.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and
disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation
technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a
significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable,
either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant
effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable
market data.

11. Contingent liability
In the normal course of the Group's business, it may be subject
to legal and regulatory proceedings arising out of current and past
operations, which in some cases may result in contingent
liabilities.
As previously disclosed, the Phaeacian Accent International
Value and Phaeacian Global Value funds (the 'funds') were closed by
the Board of the funds in May 2022. In May 2022, the Group
initiated legal action against counterparties involved in the
Phaeacian transaction. This action remains at an early stage and
while it is not possible to predict the outcome, the Group believes
that it has a valid basis, and it intends to pursue such action
robustly.
In July 2022, First Pacific Advisors ('FPA'), the vendor of the
funds in the Phaeacian transaction, issued a counterclaim against
the Group asserting that they believe the Group owes it further
revenue share payments of US$6.1m under the purchase agreement,
despite the closure of the funds and the lack of further revenues
being generated. The counterclaim remains at an early stage and
while it is not possible to predict the outcome, the Group believes
that it has a valid defence and that it is not probable that the
claim will be upheld; therefore, no provision for any liability has
been recognised at this stage.
