Jupiter, the FTSE 250-listed fund management group, posted net outflows of £500m during the first three months of the year, with retail investors responsible for a majority of the redemptions.

According to quarterly results published on 24 April, the London-listed firm said while its institutional business gathered £1bn in new money between January and the end of March, these flows were offset by £1.5bn of redemptions from retail clients.
