"It's this steady and consistent growth of Atlantic Trust—over six consecutive years of positive net flows and record AUM—that demonstrates client confidence in the value of the services we provide to their families every day," said Jack Markwalter, chairman and CEO of Atlantic Trust. "We are achieving definite, positive momentum as we continue to invest in our business, working with our colleagues at Invesco and CIBC toward our expected close in the fourth quarter of 2013."

Atlantic Trust attributes its long-standing success to strong client retention and a steady inflow of assets from existing and new client relationships. Year-to-date through June 30, 2013, the firm has achieved a 99% retention rate among clients with more than $5 million in AUM, who entrust an increasing amount of their assets to Atlantic Trust, while also referring their friends and family members.

To serve its growing client base, Atlantic Trust also continues to expand and attract top talent. The firm has hired 21 new professionals this year (through July 31, 2013), including four senior vice presidents in Houston, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. These new professionals are filling relationship management and client service roles. Atlantic Trust has also added several talents in key investment, marketing and operational roles.
