    Strategies surpassing $1B in assets under management

    When strategies hit key milestones – whether AUM or track record history – they're included in more of the screens conducted by consultants and asset owners. The reason is simple: They've surpassed two of the most common thresholds allocators use in their research to filter out managers they deem too small or products they deem too new. If you're a manager or hedge fund hitting one of these milestones, you're ready to get in front of more consultants and asset owners than ever.

    A total of 119 strategies surpassed the notable AuM threshold of $1bn as of Q1 2025 (when comparing the previous four quarters strategy level AuM). These strategies are managed by 68 firms domiciled across 11 countries. The strategies included:

    • 41 Equity, 58 Fixed Income, 10 Hedge and 10 Balanced strategies
    • 73 of these strategies integrate ESG considerations into their respective investment process

    Such milestones are important for institutional investors as they often screen for strategies of a particular size when conducting manager research, and may only allocate to products of a certain threshold in order to avoid potential exposure concentration. This can be critical for Institutional Investors as they look to mitigate concentration risk and not want to constitute a large percentage of assets of a given strategy. Congratulations to those portfolio management teams and associated firms for achieving this key milestone!
