Funds under management in Europe have grown 34% over the past 12 months to hit a record high of £29.6bn.

M&G’s institutional business saw net inflows of £0.6bn to the end of the third quarter, down from £3bn at the same point last year.
The asset management company said it will ‘continue to seek diversification by both asset class and geography, while remaining focused on delivering excellent investment performance and service to its clients.’
