Aberdeen Sees Investors Pulling Funds on Emerging Market Jitters

Assets at the end of September totaled 283.7 billion pounds ($426 billion), down from 324.4 billion pounds a year earlier, Aberdeen said, hit particularly by outflows of 16.4 billion pounds from its equity funds and a negative market move of 12.1 billion pounds.
