Aberdeen Asset Management, whose chief executive's bonus has sparked controversy among shareholders, today revealed it had broken through £100bn (€134.7bn) in assets under management and that its struggling Asia-Pacific funds are outperforming their peers.

The declarations were made just before the company's annual meeting today. Shareholders voting on the remuneration terms, set out in Aberdeen's annual report for the 12 months to the end of September, passed the remuneration proposals with over 98% voting in favour.
