The stock market took a big hit last month, and most asset managers felt that pain magnified. Yet the picture looks better from a longer-term view.

All 17 publicly traded U.S. mutual fund firms tracked by
MFWire saw their share prices fall last month, as the S&P 500 fell 9.34 percent. The median market cap to AUM ratio of those firms is now 1.11 percent, down from 1.17 percent
four months ago.
The 2022 picture is still rough so far, too. Only one of those publicly traded fund firms' shares rose in the first nine months of the year. The median firm's share price slipped 32.3 percent year-to-date as of September 30, compared with a 24.77 percent drop in the S&P 500.
For the 12 months ending September 30, 2022, three of those publicly traded fund firms saw their share prices rise. The median firm's share price slipped 25.95 percent, compared with 16.76 percent for the S&P 500.
Yet when you look at the entire pandemic period, the picture is still net positive. 13 of those 17 publicly traded fund firms have seen their share prices rise from December 31, 2019 through September 30, 2022. The S&P 500 rose 10.98 percent over that period, compared with a median fund firm share price jump of 14.38 percent.
