Ian Simm, chief executive of Impax AM, said: "I am pleased to report on another outstanding quarter.

"Investor interest in the transition to a more sustainable economy continues to gather momentum and it is most encouraging to see further strong inflows across our fund range from clients in Europe and North America.  

"Our pipeline remains promising for both our listed and private equity strategies."
