/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
MONTREAL, April 26, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Fiera Capital Corporation (TSX: FSZ) ("Fiera Capital" or the "Company"), a leading independent asset management firm, today reported its preliminary estimate of assets under management ("AUM") of approximately C$172.9 billion as at March 31, 2021, compared to C$181.9 billion as at December 31, 2020.
The Company experienced strong net organic growth of C$3.1 billion during the quarter as a result of net sales across each of its three distribution channels. This was partly offset by fixed income markets and foreign exchange movements, which together had an unfavourable impact of C$1.8 billion during the quarter.
AUM was also impacted by dispositions relating to previously announced transactions, consisting of the sale of Bel Air Investment Advisors ("Bel Air") and the termination of the revenue sharing arrangement with City National Rochdale ("CNR") with regards to the Fiera Capital Emerging Markets Fund (the "Fund"). These transactions impacted AUM by C$10.3 billion during the first quarter of 2021.
AUM as at March 31, 2021 included C$1.7 billion of committed and undeployed capital in Fiera Private Alternative Investments, the Company's platform for private market investment solutions. Committed, undeployed capital as at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 were C$1.7 billion and C$1.4 billion, respectively. These amounts were added to the previously disclosed figures and are included in the total AUM reported above, as well as in the following table.
