Midsize firms had $2.85 trillion in combined long-term fund AUM as of August 31, 2021, and they accounted for 10.49 percent of overall industry long-term fund AUM. That's down from $2.969 trillion and 11.04 percent on July 31, 2021, and it compares with $2.651 trillion and 12.29 percent on August 31, 2020. 35 midsize firms brought in net long-term inflows in August 2021, down from 40 in July 2021 and down from 37 in August 2020. KraneShares kept the lead among midsize firms last month, thanks to an estimated $1.772 billion in net August 2021 inflows, up month-over-month from $1.585 billion in July 2021 and up year-over-year from $8 million in August 2021 outflows. Other big August 2021 inflows winners included: Mirae (including Global X), $1.303 billion (up M/M from $1.224 billion, up Y/Y from $793 million); Guggenheim (including Rydex), $739 million (up M/M from $622 million, down Y/Y from $1.35 billion); Thrivent, $737 million (up M/M from $294 million, up Y/Y from $9 million in net outflows); and Baron, $616 million (down M/M from $733 million, up Y/Y from $34 million).

Other big inflows winners included: Mirae, 3.3 percent; BBH, 2.8 percent; Thrivent, 2.4 percent; and Calamos, 2 percent.
