With the US equity markets up just 2.3% in the third quarter, the 2.2% average stock gain recorded by the traditional US asset managers kept year-to-date average total returns for the group above the market's return (as represented by the S&P 500 TR index) at the end of September.
With $1.897 trillion in AUM at the end of August 2026, T. Rowe Price is one of the larger US-based asset managers. Retirement accounts and variable-annuity portfolios, which tend to be stickier than retail assets, account for close to two-thirds of managed assets.
The firm's equity performance remains weak, with just 25% and 26% of US fund AUM beating passive peer medians on a three- and five-year basis, respectively, at the end of June 2026.
