Liontrust has endured several difficult years, with declining assets under management, persistent client outflows and a share price that remains more than 80% below its level five years ago. Yet despite another weak set of annual results, investors sent the shares higher.
In this video, we examine what drove the market's reaction, why Liontrust believes acquisitions are key to its recovery, and how its purchase of River Global fits into that strategy. We also discuss whether the business can return to organic growth, the challenges facing active fund managers, and whether Liontrust's low valuation reflects an opportunity—or a warning.
