The share price has recently firmed, with a 7 day share price return of 4.68% and 1 month share price return of 9.99%. However, the 3 month share price return of a 10.45% decline suggests momentum has eased after earlier gains, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 18.66% contrasts with weaker multi year outcomes. Recent updates on assets under management, continued net outflows, and the launch of the new CLO platform give investors fresh information to weigh against those mixed share price and total return signals.
