T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. TROW announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $1.56 trillion for April 2025. The figure reflected a sequential marginal decrease compared to the prior month.

Breakdown of TROW’s AUM Performance

At the end of April, T. Rowe Price’s equity products totaled $767 billion, a marginal decrease from the previous month. Fixed income (including money market) grew 1% to $198 billion. Furthermore, multi-asset products totaled $545 billion, a slight increase from the previous month.

T. Rowe Price registered $485 billion in target date retirement portfolios in April 2025, which marginally rose from the prior month.

Our Take on TROW

The company’s diversified business model and ongoing efforts are expected to continue supporting its top-line growth in the future, providing resilience amid market fluctuations. However, a decline in AUM balance looks discouraging. Also, the company’s overdependence on investment advisory fees remains a concern.

Performance of Other Asset Managers

Franklin Resources, Inc. BEN reported its preliminary AUM of $1.53 trillion as of April 30, 2025, which decreased marginally from the prior month.

The decline in BEN’s AUM balance was due to the impact of preliminary long-term net outflows of $10 billion, inclusive of $10 billion long-term net outflows at Western Asset Management, partially offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange.

Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. VRTS announced its preliminary AUM of $163.7 billion as of April 30, 2025, down 2.2% from the March 31, 2025, level. 

The decline in VRTS AUM was primarily due to net outflows in US retail funds, institutional accounts, retail separate accounts and global funds, partially offset by positive net flows of exchange-traded funds.
