City of London Investment Group Lifts Assets Despite Client Rebalancing Outflows

City of London Investment ( (GB:CLIG) ) just unveiled an update.

City of London Investment Group reported a 4% rise in funds under management to an estimated $11.2bn for the six months to 31 December 2025, with assets increasing further to $11.6bn by mid‑January 2026, driven by favourable markets and solid investment performance. CLIM’s emerging markets and listed private equity strategies delivered notable outperformance versus benchmarks, helped by country allocation, narrowing closed‑end fund discounts and corporate actions, while international equity and opportunistic value posted modest underperformance; KIM’s balanced and fixed‑income strategies generally matched or slightly beat benchmarks, supported by strong long‑term fixed‑income results. Despite strong market returns, the group recorded net outflows of $853m, largely due to client portfolio rebalancing, strategic shifts towards liability‑matching and passive strategies, and funding needs, though it still attracted $247m of gross inflows across EM, international equity and fixed‑income products. Overall, most strategies are now reporting higher asset levels, underscoring resilient portfolios and sustained client interest even amid mixed flows and ongoing discount volatility in the closed‑end fund space.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CLIG) stock is a Buy with a £407.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on City of London Investment stock, see the GB:CLIG Stock Forecast page.
