Read MoreHide Full Article

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW - Free Report) announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $1.39 trillion for November 2023. The figure reflected a 6.3% rise from the last month.

TROW experienced net outflows of $12.6 billion in November 2023.

At the end of the reported month, equity products and multi-asset products aggregated $717 billion and $462 billion, up 7.3% and 7.7%, respectively, on a sequential basis. T. Rowe Price registered $391 billion in target date retirement portfolios in November, which grew 7.4% from the prior month.

Fixed-income products, including the money market, constituted $168 billion, flat sequentially. Also, alternative products of $47 billion were flat on a sequential basis.

A diversified business model, focus on enhancing investment capabilities, broadening distribution reach and improving client experiences 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 could impede bottom-line expansion.

Over the past six months, shares of T. Rowe Price have declined 11.2% against the industry’s 10.6% growth.
