    Large firms brought in $74.639 billion in Q2 2025 inflows, down by $55.009 billion Q/Q. As of June 30, 2025 (the end of Q2 2025), large firms accounted for 9.5 percent of all fund firms, held $30.61 trillion in AUM (93.5 percent of industry AUM) across 35,749 funds (82.7 percent of industry funds).

    Across the whole industry, the 768 fund firms tracked by the M* team (up by 10 M/M) brought in $49.936 billion in net June 2025 inflows.

    The industry brought in $65.9865 billion in Q2 2025 inflows, down by $75.417 billion Q/Q and down by $25.39 billion Y/Y.
