Record said AUM increased by $3.3bn to $106.0bn, with positive foreign exchange movements offsetting modest outflows in dynamic and passive hedging and the discontinuation of a custom interest rate swap portfolio.

The London-listed group noted that no performance fees crystalised in Q2 but said H1 performance fees of £1.6m were slightly ahead of the prior year's £1.5m result.

Record also said average fee rates remained broadly unchanged in Q2.

Chief executive Jan Witte said: " The business has again demonstrated the strength of its unique range of currency management products with another quarter of AUM growth. Performance remains in line with expectations and I am confident about Record's medium-term growth opportunities."

As of 0845 BST, Record shares were up 0.64% at 63.0p.
