T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW - Free Report) announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) for June 2023. The company’s month-end AUM of $1.40 trillion represented a 3.9% increase from the previous month, on the back of favorable market conditions.

TROW experienced net outflows of $6.7 billion in June and $20 billion in second-quarter 2023.

At the end of the reported month, equity products and multi-asset products aggregated $732 billion and $453 billion, up 5% and 4.4%, respectively, on a sequential basis. Alternative products aggregated $45 billion, remaining flat sequentially.

Fixed-income products, including the money market, constituted $169 billion, marginally declining from the previous month.

Nevertheless, TROW registered $380 billion in target date retirement portfolios in June, which increased 4.7% from the previous month.

A diversified business model, focus on enhancing investment capabilities, broadening distribution reach and improving client partnerships are expected to aid TROW’s long-term growth.

However, increased dependence on investment advisory fees is concerning, as market fluctuations and a sudden slowdown in overall business activities are likely to hurt its revenues. Additionally, rising expenses might hinder bottom-line growth.

Over the past three months, shares of T. Rowe Price have gained 4.3% compared with the industry’s upside of 5.8%.
