Franklin Resources' (BEN) August AUM Descends on Net Outflows
Read MoreHide Full Article
Franklin Resources (BEN - Free Report) has announced preliminary assets under management (AUM) by its subsidiaries of $690.6 billion for August 2019. Results display 2.7% decrease from the $709.5 billion recorded as of Jul 31, 2019. Slight net outflows and net market declines led to this downside. Further, the reported figure went down 4.4% year on year.
Month-end total equity assets came in at $266.9 billion, down 3.5% from the previous month and 14.7% year over year. Of the total equity assets, around 58% were from international sources, while the remaining 42% came in from the United States.
Total fixed income assets were $280.8 billion, down 2.5% from July 2019 but up 7.8% from the prior year. Overall, tax-free assets accounted for only 24% of the fixed-income assets, while the remaining 76% was taxable.
Franklin recorded $133.2 billion in hybrid assets, which was 1.6% down from the $135.4 billion witnessed in the previous month and 4.7% from the $139.8 billion reported in August 2018.
Cash management funds came in at $9.7 billion, up from the prior-month figure of $9.6 billion and $9.3 billion recorded in the previous year.
Though regulatory restrictions and sluggish economic recovery might mar AUM growth, and escalate costs, the company’s global footprint is an exceptionally favorable strategic point as its AUM is well diversified.
Among other asset managers, Invesco Ltd. (IVZ - Free Report) , T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW - Free Report) and Legg Mason Inc. are expected to release preliminary AUM results for August, later this week.
