1 Excludes Single Strategy NCCF of GBP1.4 billion Q1 2018 YTD (Q1 2017 YTD: GBP1.3 billion).

(2 Excludes Single Strategy.)

3 Excludes Single Strategy AuM of GBP27.5 billion at 31 March 2018 (31 December 2017: GBP26.9 billion).

Paul Feeney, CEO of Quilter plc, commented:

"First quarter net client cash flow (NCCF) has continued the strong momentum seen in 2017, particularly in our Advice & Wealth Management Segment. We have experienced increased net flows across all our businesses with the exception of Quilter International, which has had a slow start to the year following a very strong final quarter in 2017, and Quilter Life Assurance.

NCCF of GBP1.6 billion (excluding Single Strategy) was 14% ahead of the comparable period in 2017. NCCF of GBP2.0 billion (excluding Single Strategy and Quilter Life Assurance) was GBP0.5 billion or 33% ahead of the comparable period in 2017. NCCF as a proportion of opening assets under management and administration (AuMA) (excluding Single Strategy and Quilter Life Assurance) on an annualised basis was 8%, ahead of our 5% target.

Generating and growing integrated flows is a key focus as these demonstrate the strength and value of our multi-channel business model. It is particularly pleasing that these grew by 50% to GBP1.5 billion in Q1 compared to 2017.

AuMA of GBP111.6 billion declined by 2.4% in the quarter as a result of negative market movements of 3.8% partially offset by positive net flows in the period of 1.4%. This compares to a decrease of 8.2% in the FTSE 100 over the same period, demonstrating the relative resilience of our business model and good investment performance during a time of market volatility. The outlook for our business remains positive and current trading remains in line with expectations.

While there has been some recovery in market levels so far in the second quarter, we anticipate continued uncertainties in equity, bond and currency markets in the medium term as any potential impacts of the UK's exit from the EU evolve and given geopolitical and economic risks.

The Single Strategy Business generated NCCF of GBP1.4 billion during the quarter (excluded from the table above). Good progress is being made with regard to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals for the sale of this business, and we continue to expect completion in the second half of 2018.

We are delighted that the formal process of listing Quilter plc on the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges has now commenced and we continue to be excited by the opportunities ahead for us beyond our planned listing in June."
