Ashmore Group Plc reported net inflows of $1.3 Billion for the three months through June as the emerging-markets-focused asset manager's funds performed well with markets roiled by the uncertainty sparked by the war in Iran.

The London-based firm said clients continued to embrace its emerging-market strategies despite heightened geopolitical tensions. The inflows reflect growing investor confidence in EM assets as a hedge against developed-market volatility.

Ashmore's funds benefited from strong performance across debt, equity, and local currency strategies. The asset manager noted that the current environment of uncertainty has historically created attractive entry points for long-term EM allocations.

The results underscore a broader trend of capital returning to emerging markets after periods of outflow, driven by improving fundamentals and valuation discounts relative to developed markets.
