We have now begun to see investors, led by institutional clients, turn more towards actively managed funds and diversify geographically, with Europe and the UK outperforming the US stock market over the first half of 2025 1 . This comes as Liontrust has delivered stronger long-term performance. As at 30 June 2025, 73% of Liontrust funds were in the first or second quartile of their respective sectors since inception 1 . Liontrust continues to make progress towards our four strategic objectives, including broadening distribution institutionally and internationally and expanding the fund range." 1 Source: Financial Express to 30 June 2025 as at 7 July 2025, fund performance on a bid-bid, total return, net of fees basis, using the primary share class.
