Fund Size (Assets Under Management)

Topic

Fund size, commonly measured as Assets Under Management (AUM), refers to the total market value of all financial assets managed by an investment fund or financial institution on behalf of its clients. It serves as a key metric for evaluating the scale, liquidity, and overall market presence of mutual funds, private equity, venture capital, and other investment vehicles. The size of a fund directly influences its investment strategy, fee structures, and potential diseconomies of scale in active management.
