GQG Stock Rebounds Following Positive November Update
Shares of GQG Partners 
GQG surged on Monday, reversing losses experienced the previous week. The rebound came after the company announced a significant increase in funds under management (FUM) and gross inflows for November, assuaging investor concerns tied to its exposure to India’s embattled Adani Group.
GQG’s shares climbed by 5.1% to A$2.185 by 0046 GMT, outperforming the benchmark index 
XJO, which rose by a more modest 0.3%.
Positive November Performance
The asset manager reported gross inflows of $4.2 billion for November, marking a substantial increase compared to $2.6 billion in the same period last year. Total FUM rose to $159.5 billion as of November 30, up slightly from $159.4 billion at the end of October.
“In light of recent events, we are experiencing increased interest in our short-term capital flows,” the company stated in a press release.
While the company didn’t explicitly mention the Adani Group scandal, the statement likely alludes to heightened scrutiny surrounding GQG’s substantial investments in the conglomerate, particularly following allegations of bribery and financial irregularities made against the group by authorities in the United States.
Adani Concerns Ease
Last week, GQG’s shares had tumbled more than 11% after UBS downgraded the stock, citing potential losses in FUM exceeding A$600 million ($383.2 million) in the wake of the Adani indictment. However, analysts at Ord Minnett offered a more positive outlook, characterizing GQG’s FUM update as positive.
“Overall, the impact of the Adani issue appears to be minimal in the context of the overall business,” they assessed.
Share Buyback Program Pauses
Separately, GQG announced a pause in its plans to repurchase up to A$100 million worth of its Australian-listed shares from the market. The company cited uncertainty surrounding the US tax treatment of the proceeds as the reason for the temporary halt.
