Performance of Other Asset Managers

Invesco (IVZ - Free Report) announced a preliminary AUM for November 2021. IVZ’s month-end AUM of $1,572.5 billion represented a decline of 1.3% from the previous month.

Invesco’s AUM was negatively impacted by unfavorable market returns, which decreased it by $17 billion. Moreover, the decline in total AUM balance was primarily due to money market net outflows of $7.5 billion. Because of foreign exchange rate movements, Invesco’s AUM declined by $4.6 billion.

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P.’s (AB - Free Report) AUM of $759 billion for November 2021 represented a decline of nearly 1% from $765 billion recorded at the end of the prior month.Market depreciation more than offset total firm-wide net inflows, which led to the fall in AUM for AllianceBernstein.

Nevertheless, AllianceBernstein’s global reach and solid asset balances are likely to boost top-line growth.

Franklin Resources, Inc. (BEN - Free Report) reported the preliminary AUM balance of $1,546.8 billion for November 2021. This reflects a marginal decrease of 0.95% from BEN’s October-end AUM balance of $1,561.7 billion.

Franklin witnessed a decrease in AUM primarily due to the negative impacts of markets, offset by long-term net inflows. Specifically, long-term net inflows were supported by $7.4 billion of new client accounts related to the Investment Grade Credit team that joined in the fourth quarter.
