Ivy, Oakmark, and First Trust Had a Big May

Reported by Waiho Zhang

May was a good month for many of the fund firms with AUM between $10 and $100 billion. Firms like Ivy Funds and Harris Oakmark had large inflows that not only put them on top of the $10B to $100B but also placed them in the spotlight with firms like Vanguard and Schwab.
