Portfolio Management & Investment Advice in the US industry analysis
In the last five years, the industry has experienced countervailing trends. For most of the period, rising assets under management (AUM) due to rising asset prices and growing disposable income have increased the base of assets industry operators charge fees on. Increased investor preference for passive asset management, including through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has driven expenses charged for the management of assets down during the period.
Trends and Insights
- Assets under management (AUM) are trending toward a winner-take-all competitive environment. High competition pushes companies with the most assets to leverage them to attract additional assets.
- ETFs and passive-managed products have been the fastest-growing product segment for the industry in recent years, especially among retail investors. Passively traded funds are in a stage of increasing popularity as individual investors continue to question management fees.
- This region's high concentration of establishments is attributed to its substantial population levels and corporate business activities. This region is generally home to an older population, who use portfolio services at a higher rate.
- The levels of assets under management (AUM) affect market share. Companies with more AUM get bigger and bigger and let them work with large institutional clients.
