assets under management financial
"reported that its preliminary assets under management ("AUM") as of May 31, 2026 totaled $186.0 billion"
Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.
sub-advisory mandate financial
"a U.S. sub-advisory mandate representing approximately $5.7 billion of assets in the U.S. Value Team’s Value Equity strategy"
An arrangement where a primary investment manager hires a separate specialist firm to run part or all of a fund or portfolio on its behalf. Think of it like a head chef delegating a course to a guest expert: it can bring specialized skill or different strategies, but also adds another layer of fees, reporting and performance risk for investors. Investors watch who holds the mandate because that firm’s track record, style and fees directly affect returns and transparency.
separate account and other AUM financial
"separate accounts and other AUM1 accounted for $93.7 billion"
collective investment trusts financial
"assets we manage in Artisan-branded collective investment trusts, and in our own private funds"
Collective investment trusts are pooled investment funds run by banks or trust companies for workplace retirement plans and other qualified accounts; think of them like a shared shopping cart where many investors combine money to buy a mix of stocks or bonds. They matter to investors because they often charge lower fees and are designed for long-term retirement use, which can improve net returns and affect the cost, liquidity and transparency of retirement savings.
