Management commentary
GQG’s CEO, Tim Carver, was pleased with the company’s performance during the first half. He put its strong growth down to the positive results of its investment strategies.
Mr Carver commented: “We are pleased to announce our financial results for the 2021 financial year. During the year GQG saw 36.1% growth in funds under management to US$91.2 billion. This represents net FUM flow of US$17.1 billion for 2021, bolstered by strong absolute performance across our strategies. This, combined with FUM growth in prior periods, led to Net Revenue growth of 74.9% to US$397.9 million. Net income after tax increased 81.6% to US$304.9 million from US$167.9 million in 2020, reflecting the increase in average funds under management and cost efficiencies.”
“Our financial result is driven in large part by our investment performance over the long term. As at the end of the year our strategies continued to provide solid long-term performance as compared to their benchmarks, which we believe provides the underpinnings for continued business success.”
