The high levels of client engagement could not counter the impact of this environment on our results. We saw net outflows in the first half, caused by lower levels of new business volumes and portfolio derisking by clients. We are anticipating that these tough conditions will persist for the foreseeable future. We remain committed to our long-term strategy and focusing all our attention on managing the investments of our clients to the standards they expect and delivering industry- leading service levels. In spite of the challenges, our people are motivated, experienced and adequately supported for the task at hand.” Outlook We are cautious about the near term. Our working assumption is that we will be operating in challenging markets for the foreseeable future. We continue to build our business for the long term, while applying appropriate cost discipline. Ninety One is a resilient business with a diversified offering and a long track record of operating in different market conditions. We see ample long-term growth opportunities ahead in spite of current market conditions and the rapidly changing world in which we operate. We intend to navigate the turbulence with confidence. This is not a time for distractions. Our focus is firmly on execution. Now, more than ever, we will focus on the investment task at hand and do our best to meet the needs of clients. Adjusted measures presented in this announcement Adjusted operating profit margin is calculated as adjusted operating profit divided by adjusted operating revenue.
