Total AUM dropped from £12.7bn to £10.5bn during what the company described as a "challenging" year which saw the performance in Private Equity being offset by a continued drag on returns from pre-credit crisis investments and the value of its largest Asia asset, reinsurance business ACR, affected by natural disasters.
The company has appointed Simon Burrows, formerly the Chief Investment Officer, as its new Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect, following the announcement of Michael Queen's departure at the end of March.
