Polar Capital: Equity Development


AUM fell by £2.4bn (10%) in Q4 of FY25 (to 31 Mar 25), from £23.8bn to £21.4bn. Market movements, investment performance and currency fluctuations accounted for nearly all of the decline (£2.3bn). This was unsurprising considering the heavy falls in technology sector stocks (Dow Jones Global Technology Index: -11%), and Polar’s reporting currency, GBP, strengthening 3% over the US$, depressing the £-value of US$-denominated assets.
