Profile
Manages mutual funds, ETFs, separate accounts, private-market strategies, and custom-indexing portfolios for retail and institutional clients worldwide. Most revenue is earned as fees on assets managed across specialist firms, making market levels, client flows, and product mix central to results.
Manages public- and private-market portfolios through specialist investment firms spanning equity, fixed income, alternatives, multi-asset, and cash management. Products include mutual funds and ETFs, institutional and high-net-worth separate accounts, retail managed accounts, sub-advised mandates, and Canvas custom-indexing portfolios.
Combines distinct managers such as Templeton, Putnam, ClearBridge, Western Asset, Lexington Partners, and Benefit Street Partners with shared distribution and servicing. Funds and accounts reach retail, institutional, and high-net-worth clients directly and through financial intermediaries across more than 35 countries.
Operates as a single investment-management and related-services segment. Most revenue comes from fees tied to assets under management, so market levels, client flows, product mix, and investment performance shape results; affiliated managers also operate under extensive financial-services regulation worldwide.
