MONTREAL, April 23, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Fiera Capital Corporation (TSX: FSZ) ("Fiera Capital" or "the Firm"), a leading independent asset management firm, today reported its preliminary estimate of assets under management ("AUM") of approximately C$158.1 billion as at March 31, 2020, a decrease of C$11.6 billion, or 6.8%, compared to AUM of C$169.7 billion as at December 31, 2019.

"In the context of a first quarter characterized by extreme market volatility, our assets under management decreased by 6.8% − a testament to the diversity and resiliency of our investment platform and to the benefits of our active portfolio management approach," said Jean-Philippe Lemay, Global President and Chief Operating Officer. "We are very pleased with the investment performance of our teams during this three-month period. Many of them also continued to deliver first quartile performance on a trailing twelve-month basis. In addition, I am pleased to report that as of April 201, over 70% of our investment strategies were outperforming their respective benchmarks."

"Notwithstanding a higher level of redemptions as a result of clients rebalancing in the current macroeconomic environment, we won new mandates across asset classes and geographies totalling over 1.7 billion dollars during the first quarter," added Mr. Lemay.
