Excluding AUM sub-advised by PineStone Asset Management Inc. ("PineStone"), net organic growth totaled nearly $550 million in the quarter, with both Public Markets excluding PineStone and Private Markets reporting net organic growth. Total AUM decreased 3.3% during the quarter, primarily driven by previously announced outflows of $5.7 billion in equity mandates by Canoe Financial LP which transferred directly to PineStone.

Public Markets AUM, excluding AUM sub-advised by PineStone, increased 0.7% in the quarter reflecting positive market returns within fixed income mandates and net organic growth of more than $400 million.         

Private Markets AUM continued its consistent growth trend, increasing approximately 2.5% in the quarter after adjusting for the previously announced acquisition of additional shares of an investment platform specializing in rental homes. This increase was driven by new subscriptions of close to $500 million and net organic growth of approximately $125 million.
