Yahoo Finance Plus T. Rowe Price's (TROW) April AUM Up 1% on Favorable Markets
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. TROW announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) for April 2023. The company’s month-end AUM of $1.35 billion represented a 1% increase from the previous month, impacted by favorable market returns.
TROW experienced net long-term outflows of $3.7 billion during the month.
At the end of the reported month, equity products, multi-asset products and alternative products aggregated $699 billion, $438 billion and $45 billion, up 1%, 1.4% and 2.3%, respectively, on a sequential basis. Fixed-income products including the money market constituted $171 billion, remaining flat sequentially.
Additionally, TROW registered $366 billion in target date retirement portfolios, which increased 1.4% from the previous month.
A diversified business model, focus on enhancing investment capabilities, broadening distribution reach and improving client partnerships are expected to aid TROW’s long-term growth. However, increased dependence on investment advisory fees is concerning, as market fluctuations and a sudden slowdown in overall business activities might hurt this revenue source. Additionally, rising expenses might hinder bottom-line growth.
Over the past three months, shares of T. Rowe Price have lost 12.6% compared with the industry’s decline of 15.2%.
