T. Rowe Price's (TROW) March AUM Increases 2.4% to $1.54T
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW - Free Report) announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $1.54 trillion for March 2024. The figure reflected a 2.4% rise from the previous month.
TROW experienced net outflows of $1.2 billion in March 2024.
At the end of March, TROW’s equity and multi-asset products aggregated $803 billion and $520 billion, rising 2.3% and 3.2%, respectively, on a sequential basis. Alternative products of $48 billion remained unchanged while fixed income (including money market) products grew 1.2% from February 2024.
Further, T. Rowe Price registered $443 billion in target date retirement portfolios in March 2024, which grew 3.5% from the prior month.
A diversified business model, focus on enhancing investment capabilities, broadening distribution reach and investing in new product offerings are expected to aid TROW’s long-term growth.
However, the company’s overdependence on investment advisory fees is concerning. This is because market fluctuations and a sudden slowdown in overall business activities are likely to hurt its revenues. Additionally, a rising cost base could hamper its bottom-line growth.
Over the past six months, shares of T. Rowe Price have risen 17% compared with the industry’s 30.2% growth.
