UK's Ashmore posts 6% fall in Q2 managed assets

(Reuters) -Emerging markets-focused wealth manager Ashmore reported a 6% fall in second-quarter managed assets on Wednesday, driven by a negative investment performance of $2.6 billion and volatile market conditions ahead of the U.S. elections.

The company reported $48.8 billion of total assets under management at the end of December, down from $51.8 billion reported in the prior quarter.

"Market conditions were more volatile this quarter, particularly leading up to the U.S. election," CEO Mark Coombs said in a statement, adding that global capital markets will likely remain sensitive to the new U.S. administration's policy announcements.

Worries around Trump's aggressive promises to place additional tariffs on China have threatened a swathe of emerging countries and dragged recovering investor sentiments once again.

Emerging market countries and companies have issued a flood of bonds topping $55 billion, the most in years, as borrowers rush to lock in cash before the potential tumult of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States.
