Wisdom Tree (WT) January AUM Rises Sequentially on Net Inflows

VRTS VCTR WT

WisdomTree, Inc. (WT - Free Report) reported total assets under management (AUM) of $100.28 billion as of Jan 31, 2024, which reflected a marginal increase from the prior-month level. The rise was primarily due the impact of total net inflows.

WT, during January, recorded inflows of $397 million, $447 million, $152 million, $59 million and $9 million from the U.S. equity, international developed market equity, emerging market equity, cryptocurrency and alternatives, respectively.

These inflows were partially offset by outflows from commodity and currency, leveraged and inverse strategies as well as fixed income of $443 million, $12 million and $342 million, respectively.

The company’s strong organic growth profile, along with a solid AUM balance, is likely to aid its top line in the near term. However, a challenging operating environment is a major near-term headwind, which might hurt its financials to some extent.

Over the past six months, shares of WisdomTree have risen 4.7% compared with 16.6% growth of the industry.

Currently, WisdomTree carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
