Thursday, June 22, 2023 With $951MM, Baird Repeats Its Win A Midwestern asset manager led the inflows way again last month among midsize fund firms, even as the group's overall flows improved by $15 billion year-over-year.
Midsize firms had $2.347 trillion in combined long-term fund AUM across 12,556 funds as of May 31, 2023, and they accounted for 9.82 percent of industry AUM. That compares with $2.388 trillion, 12,614 funds, and 9.9 percent of industry AUM on April 30, 2023, and with $2.507 trillion and 10.22 percent of industry AUM on May 31, 2022. 23 midsize firms brought in net May 2023 inflows, up M/M from 20 in April 2023 and up Y/Y from 18 in May 2022. Baird (including Strategas) led the pack for a second month in a row, thanks to an estimated $951 million in net May 2023 inflows, down M/M from $1.081 billion in April 2023 but up Y/Y from $1.524 billion in May 2022 outflows.

Global X took the lead proportionately last month, thanks to estimated net May 2023 inflows equivalent to 1.7 percent of its AUM. Other big inflows winners included: Innovator, 1.7 percent; and WisdomTree, 1.5 percent. Baird now leads the 2023 inflows pack so far, thanks to an estimated $4.549 billion in net year-to-date inflows as of May 31.

As a group, midsize fund firms suffered $6.968 billion in net May 2023 outflows, equivalent to 0.3 percent of their combined AUM and accounting for 30.34 percent of overall industry outflows. That compares with $5.552 billion and 0.23 percent of AUM in April 2023, and with $21.968 billion, 0.88 percent of AUM, and 56.18 percent of industry outflows in May 2022. As of May 31, midsize firms have suffered an estimated $15.354 billion in net 2023 outflows.
