Key Terms

3 terms

organic net new assets financial

"Total organic net new assets (“NNA”) for July were $7.4 billion"

Organic net new assets are the amount of money that clients add to or withdraw from an investment firm’s managed funds during a period, measured after removing gains or losses from market performance and excluding money brought in by mergers or purchases. Investors watch this figure because it shows whether a firm is truly growing its client base and fee revenue from its own business — like tracking how much a garden grows on its own rather than counting plants moved in from elsewhere.

net buying financial

"Net buying in July was $14.7 billion."

Net buying is the difference between the value or number of shares purchased and the value or number sold over a specific period by a person, group, or market segment. It shows whether more stock was bought than sold (a positive number) or the reverse (a negative number), and investors use it as a quick gauge of demand, like measuring whether more people are entering or exiting a busy store. Net buying can signal buying pressure or fading interest in a security.

money market sweep financial

"Money market sweep | 1.1 | | 1.1 | | — | %"

An automated arrangement that moves idle cash from a brokerage or bank account into a money market fund or interest-bearing account, typically overnight, to earn a small return while keeping the funds accessible. It matters to investors because it reduces wasted cash sitting uninvested and boosts overall portfolio returns without sacrificing liquidity, similar to parking spare change in a high-interest savings jar that you can grab quickly when needed.
