FIRST QUARTER INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

BlueBay Asset Management plc (BlueBay) announces its interim management statement for the first fiscal quarter to 30 September 2009.

At 30 September 2009, BlueBay's estimated assets under management amounted to US$31.1 billion, a 28% (US$6.8 billion) increase since 30 June 2009, when the reported assets under management were US$24.3 billion.  The increase in assets under management for the quarter can be broken down into net subscriptions of US$3.8  billion, net market appreciation of US$2.2 billion and a foreign exchange translation gain of US$0.8 billion resulting from the translation of mainly Euro denominated assets into US Dollars.  

The breakdown of assets under management at 30 September 2009 compared to 30 June 2009 is as follows:

Performance fees, accrued during the first quarter of the financial year 2010 on funds and segregated accounts where performance fees crystallise on or before 31 December 2009, are estimated to be £14.4 million.

Commenting on the interim management statement, Hugh Willis, BlueBay's Chief Executive Officer said:

"The first quarter of the financial year 2010 has been characterised by similar trends to those witnessed in the last quarter of financial year 2009: namely robust investor demand for credit product and strong investment performance - both relative and absolute - from the great majority of BlueBay's funds. Together these have driven a further significant quarterly increase in assets under management - up 28% over the period - and higher levels of accrued performance fees. As in the previous quarter, and throughout the calendar year to 30 September 2009, net fund inflows have been concentrated largely in investment grade credit products. In contrast to the previous several quarters, long/short funds have been a meaningful contributor to accrued performance fees.

These trends continue to bear out our previously-stated belief that we are in the relatively early stages of a new credit cycle; a period typically characterised by strong demand for - and returns from - the asset class of credit. Both the impressive performance of the asset class since January (with BlueBay's long-only funds up between 17% and 53% calendar year to 30 September and its flagship Multi-Strategy long/short fund returning 40% in the same period) and the early preference among investors for higher quality credit are typical of the initial phases of such a cycle. We expect both to evolve as the cycle develops; with returns moderating to more normalised levels and investor demand spreading to higher beta credit products. 

While the new credit cycle appears to be increasingly well entrenched, it remains important to be vigilant to the risks and challenges that continue to be posed by a macroeconomic outlook that is uncertain and a recovery that has scope to disappoint. In particular, credit managers will need to be able to react successfully to the next likely phase of the cycle; in which a rising tide ceases to lift all boats and returns become driven to an increasing extent by accurate credit selection. We are confident that BlueBay's specialist credit franchise - characterised by a broad range of actively managed credit funds - remains well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities available in credit markets as the cycle develops; to the benefit of clients and shareholders alike."
