T. Rowe Price's (TROW) May AUM Improves 3.8% Sequentially
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. TROW announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $1.54 trillion for May 2024. The figure reflected a sequential increase of 3.8%.
TROW experienced net inflows of $6.7 billion in May 2024.
At the end of May, TROW’s equity products aggregated $790 billion, which increased 3.7% from the previous month’s level. Fixed income (including money market) rose 6.5% to $180 billion. Further, multi-asset products were $524 billion, which jumped 3.6% from the previous month.
Alternative products of $48 billion remained unchanged from the prior month’s level.
T. Rowe Price registered $447 billion in target date retirement portfolios in May 2024, which increased 3.5% from the prior month.
The company’s diversified business model and efforts to broaden distribution reach to international markets and strategic acquisitions will support its top-line growth in the upcoming period. However, the company’s overdependence on investment advisory fees is concerning. Escalating expenses will likely affect the company’s bottom-line growth.
Over the past three months, shares of T. Rowe Price have risen 3% compared with the industry’s 1.9% growth.
