Key Terms

2 terms

assets under management ("AUM") financial

"announced that preliminary assets under management increased to $880 billion..."

Assets under management (AUM) is the total market value of investments that a fund, asset manager, or financial adviser oversees on behalf of clients. Investors pay attention to AUM because it signals the size and commercial strength of a manager—similar to how a bigger store suggests more customers—and influences revenue potential from fees, the manager’s resources, and sometimes the ability to grow or change investment strategies.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"Certain statements provided by management in this news release are "forward-looking statements"..."

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
