Coming off the back of its first time collecting more than £450m in net inflows, Polar recorded positive inflows of more than £350m in the quarter across a number of strategies, including its technology, healthcare, insurance, income opportunities and European income wings.
The group also launched a new automation and artificial intelligence fund during the period and said it continued to enjoy a strong balance sheet and capital position.
