Our Take on TROW
The company’s diversified business model and ongoing efforts are expected to continue supporting its top-line growth in the future, providing resilience amid market fluctuations. However, a decline in AUM balance looks discouraging. Also, the company’s overdependence on investment advisory fees remains a concern.

Performance of Other Asset Managers
Franklin Resources, Inc. BEN reported its preliminary AUM of $1.53 trillion as of April 30, 2025, which decreased marginally from the prior month.
The decline in BEN’s AUM balance was due to the impact of preliminary long-term net outflows of $10 billion, inclusive of $10 billion long-term net outflows at Western Asset Management, partially offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange.
Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. VRTS announced its preliminary AUM of $163.7 billion as of April 30, 2025, down 2.2% from the March 31, 2025, level.
The decline in VRTS AUM was primarily due to net outflows in US retail funds, institutional accounts, retail separate accounts and global funds, partially offset by positive net flows of exchange-traded funds.
