OM Asset Management reported $258.8 billion in assets under management as of June 30, an increase of 3.6% from March 31 and up 18.3% from June 30, 2016, said the company's earnings statement released Thursday.
The company attributed its quarterly growth to market appreciation of $9.4 billion.
For the quarter ended June 30, OMAM's net outflows totaled $300 million, compared to net outflows of $2.5 billion for the quarter ended March 31, and net outflows of $2.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
"OMAM's results for the second quarter reflect an enhanced operating and market environment as well as the successful execution of our growth strategy," said James J. Ritchie, OMAM's chairman and interim CEO in the firm's earnings statement.
On OMAM's separation from parent company Old Mutual PLC, Mr. Ritchie added: "Old Mutual made substantial progress in its managed separation process during the quarter, as it completed the sale of 9.95% of OMAM shares to HNA Capital and sold 19.895 million shares in an underwritten public offering and an additional 5 million shares to OMAM through a repurchase agreement."
Also as part of the separation, OMAM entered into an agreement to sell its share of Heitman LLC to certain executives of the firm.
"As a result of this process, yesterday the company executed a non-binding term sheet reflecting an agreement to sell our interest in Heitman LLC for $110 million in cash," said Mr. Ritchie. "Heitman represents 12% of OMAM's AUM at June 30 and contributed 3% of (economic net income) in the first half of 2017."
Mr. Ritchie assumed the role of chairman and interim CEO after former president, CEO and director Peter Bain left the company June 30.
