Key Terms

aum, nav
2 terms
aum financial
"AUM reflects the assets that we manage"
Assets under management (AUM) is the total market value of investments that a financial firm or fund manages on behalf of clients. Investors watch AUM like the size of a shop: larger AUM can mean more fee revenue, greater market influence and perceived stability, while rapid changes in AUM signal growing popularity or redemptions that may affect future earnings and investment strategy.
nav financial
"net asset value (“NAV”) of our clients’ and funds’ underlying investments"
Net asset value (NAV) is the total value of all the investments and assets in a fund or company, minus any debts or liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth, giving investors an idea of what each share is truly worth based on the underlying assets. Think of it like a company's total worth divided among its shares, helping investors assess whether a share is fairly priced.

Key Financial & Operating Metrics

FPAUM reflects the assets from which we earn management and advisory fees. Our vehicles typically earn management and advisory fees based on committed capital, and in certain cases, net invested capital, depending on the fee terms. Management and advisory fees based on committed capital are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation.

AUM reflects the assets that we manage, and is calculated as the sum of: (i) net asset value (“NAV”) of our clients’ and funds’ underlying investments as of the most recently available date; (ii) drawn and undrawn debt (excluding capital call lines); (iii) uncalled capital commitments (net of deferred purchase price and not in excess of total capital commitments, as applicable) as of the NAV record date; (iv) incremental commitments raised since NAV record date. In situations where NAV data is not available, such as with certain advisory relationships, we use FPAUM.
