Global AUM Growth Continues to Slow
By the close of the year, assets under management worldwide totaled almost $34 trillion.
According to CA’s Global Asset Management Survey results, the pace of asset growth has slowed markedly since 1997, when assets under management grew by 23.3%. In fact,
- in 1998, assets under management grew by 17%
- in 1999, that growth rate slowed to 14%
- in 2000, assets under management grew by only 4.1%.
Further, the survey found that manager-of-managers asset management products, products that evaluate and select a range of asset managers, and parcels out portions of its pooled funds to them, and fund of funds, or pooled funds that invest in a group of underlying pooled funds, are enjoying “explosive” growth rates, especially in Europe.
Estimates show that worldwide:
- multi-manager funds hold some $326.2 billion in assets
- while fund of funds products hold $105.1 billion.
Survey findings also reveal that 27% of assets under management are held in index or passively managed portfolio. CA estimates that the index fund management industry has a potential value of $9 trillion.
The survey sample comprised 27 companies.
