Good performance in uncertain times

Record’s Q317 trading update continued a series of positive updates through the financial year. It showed an increase in assets under management equivalent (AUME), positive currency for return performance and reported continuing interest in the company’s products in a climate of political and economic uncertainty. We have slightly raised our estimates to account for the higher AUME and recent dollar strength. Against this background, the rating of 13.7x FY17e earnings, supported by a yield of 4.6%, appears undemanding.
