Portfolio Management in the US

The unprecedented severity of the financial crisis and subsequent recession has contrasted the Portfolio Management industry's recovery since, particularly in 2013, causing industry revenue and Assets Under Management (AUMs) to fluctuate significantly over the period. Meanwhile, industry profit has declined due to increased competition and shifting preferences, placing downward pressure on fees. Over the five years to 2016, industry revenue is expected to increase, largely due to the historic highs in equity markets. Improved market conditions will push up stock returns and bond yields, causing AUM to grow over the next five years.

The industry comprises firms that actively manage assets for clients. Portfolio managers have the authority to make investment decisions and generate revenue through fees that are based on service and portfolio performance. Industry operators manage assets for investment vehicles such as mutual funds, hedge funds and variable insurance products.
