Yahoo Finance T. Rowe Price's (TROW) April AUM Declines 3.7% Sequentially
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. TROW announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $1.48 trillion for April 2024. The figure reflected a sequential decline of 3.7%.
TROW experienced net outflows of $7.8 billion in April 2024.
At the end of April, TROW’s equity products aggregated $762 billion, which dropped 5.1% from the previous month’s level. Fixed income (including money market) declined 1.2% to $169 billion. Further, multi-asset products were $506 billion, which dipped 2.7% from the previous month.
Alternative products of $48 billion remained unchanged from the prior month’s level.
T. Rowe Price registered $432 billion in target date retirement portfolios in April 2024, which declined 2.5% from the prior month.
The company’s diversified business model and efforts to broaden its distribution reach through strategic acquisitions will likely support its top-line growth in the future. However, the company’s overdependence on investment advisory fees is concerning. This is because market fluctuations and a sudden slowdown in overall business activities are likely to hurt its revenues.
Over the past three months, shares of T. Rowe Price have risen 4.9% compared with the industry’s 2.3% growth.
