Why is the Magellan share price storming higher?
As well as receiving a boost from a share market rebound today, investors have been buying Magellan's shares following its latest funds under management update.
That update revealed yet another jump in total funds under management for Magellan during the month of November.
During the month Magellan's Retail funds increased by 5.2% to $26,710 million. Similar growth was seen with its Institutional funds which grew 4.2% to $71,005 million.
Whilst favourable market movements played a key role in this increase, it was supported by further strong net inflow.
In November, Magellan reported net inflows of $410 million. This included net retail inflows of $305 million and net institutional inflows of $105 million.
This ultimately led to a 4.5% or ~$4.2 billion increase in total funds under management to $97,715 million.
