Whystock Valuation Model
Whystock fair value is estimated using a trailing P/E model adjusted for return on equity: Fair P/E = 18 + (ROE × 20). Fair Value = (Current Price ÷ Trailing P/E) × Fair P/E. A base P/E of 18 represents a typical market multiple, scaled upward for companies that earn high returns on equity. The result is a theoretical "normalised" price — not a price target or investment advice. Large deviations are common for high-growth or loss-making companies.

George Robert Aylward: Thank you, Sean, and good morning, everyone. Although the first quarter was challenging from a net flow perspective, reflecting our meaningful exposure to quality-oriented equity strategies, which have remained out of favor, we had several areas of strength during the quarter that were overshadowed, and we also advanced key growth initiatives. Key highlights of the quarter included an 8% increase in sales, with growth in U.S. retail funds, separate accounts, and global funds; positive net flows in several strategies, including high-conviction growth equity, multi-sector fixed income, listed real assets, and event-driven; positive net flows in ETFs and global funds; expansion into private markets with our investment in Keystone National Group; and continued return of capital, including $10 million of share repurchases.
