The Dow Falls 3.68 Percent, and Fund Firms Fall Further


Today the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 3.68 percent, the S&P 500 4.46 and the Nasdaq 5.22 percent, following big dips in European and Asian markets [see the Wall Street Journal]. The mutual fund business is largely dependent on asset-based fees, so how are fund firms weathering the market quake? We've compiled data on publicly-traded mutual fund firms, publicly-traded parents of mutual fund firms, and other firms related to the business (see chart below). All told, 41 of the 58 stocks on this list fell further than the S&P 500 today, and 8 of the remaining 17 were down at least three percent, too.

Only the stocks of a handful of smaller firms -- Hennessy Advisors, U.S. Global Investors, Value Line and W.P. Stewart -- managed to avoid falling today.

On the other side of the spectrum, five stocks on this list tumbled at least twice as far as the S&P 500 today -- Affiliated Managers Group, Credit Suisse, Invesco, TCW parent Societe Generale, and Ivy Funds parent Waddell & Reed.

MFWire.com also covered a similar market plunge earlier this month [see MFWire.com, 8/5/2011].
