Strong flows in impressive FY22. New acquisition for FY23

AUM ended FY22 (31 Mar 22) on £11.3bn, +26% y-o-y (31 Mar 21: £9.0bn), in line with our previous forecasts. But more impressive, from a longer-term strategic perspective, is the fact that ‘organic’ net inflows of +£1.28bn exceeded our forecasts to make up for an investment performance which was hit by the market turbulence of Q4 (Jan-Mar 22). In fact, net inflows in H2 almost matched H1 (£625m vs £652m).

Tatton has also entered into an agreement to acquire 50% of 8AM Global Limited (8AM), for c£7.0m (£3.5m payable on completion, funded through the issue of new shares, plus two performance-adjusted payments after 12 & 24m). Tatton will have an option to acquire a further 50%. This appears to be a solid strategic fit and in line with Tatton’s acquisition strategy.

Our bullish view on Tatton’s fundamentals remains unchanged, as do our forecasts, other than a small adjustment to FY22 AUM to match the actual closing value. We maintain our fundamental value of 560p per share which is around 30% above the TAM share price following its recent fall, although we highlight the fall is not unique to TAM, with ‘growth shares’ generally hard-hit in 2022.
