Impax, the AIM quoted specialist investment manager dedicated to the environmental markets sector, today announces its interim results for the six month period ended 31 March 2010.
Highlights
- Assets under management and advisory (“AUM”)
increased 40 per cent from £1,263 million on 30 September
2009 to £1,767 million on 31 March 2010 and rose further to
£1,909 million by 30 April 2010.
- Revenue in the first half of the year, which does not yet

of £4.50 million (plus £0.95 million of exceptional,
non-recurring fees).
- Unaudited profit before tax in the first half was £1.67
million, compared to profit for the same period last year of
£1.02 million (plus £0.52 million from exceptional,
non-recurring fees).
- Impax-managed quoted equity funds continued to outperform
global equity markets.
- Fundraising for Impax's second private equity fund was successful, attracting €141 million of capital on 23 March 2010.
Commenting on the results, Ian Simm, Chief Executive of Impax, said:
“I am pleased to report significant progress during the
first half of Impax's financial year. Our proven business model of
investing in high growth, inefficiently priced environmental
markets has gained further traction. In addition, the legislative
backdrop has continued to advance, benefiting many of the companies
in which we invest.
"With an experienced, committed management team, a broad network of clients and partners and a business model that is already generating rapidly rising earnings, I am confident that Impax is well positioned to take advantage of the significant opportunities in environmental markets."
