Mister Market Is Hitting Fund Firms Harder In 2022, But ...

Reported by Neil Anderson, Managing Editor

Mister market seems to be souring on asset managers, at least of late, as things like Fed fears, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and inflation drive market volatility in 2022. Yet the longer-term view is rosier.

As of market close yesterday, out of 17 publicly traded U.S. mutual fund firms tracked by MFWire, only only two have seen their share prices rise since the beginning of 2022. On the flip side, 11 have suffered bigger share price drops (proportionately) than the S&P 500 (which is down 7.97 percent year-to-date). The average market-cap-to-AUM ratio those firms is now 1.35 percent, and the median is 1.12 percent.

The picture was similar last month, when only five of those publicly traded fund firms' shares rose. On the flip side, eight fund firms' shares fell faster in February 2022 than the S&P (which fell 3.14 percent).

Looking back a bit further, the picture improves somewhat. 10 of those publicly traded fund firms saw their share prices rise in the 12 months ending yesterday, and seven saw their share prices rise faster than the S&P (which climbed 13.34 percent).

In 2021, the average share price increase for those 17 fund firms was 33.73 percent, and the median increase was 34.91 percent, compared to just 26.89 percent for the S&P. 14 of those fund firms share prices outpaced the S&P last year.

And publicly traded fund firms seem to have weathered the pandemic better than the markets overall. All 17 of those publicly traded fund firms have seen their share prices rise by more than 13 percent each since the end of 2019, and 10 of them have outpaced the S&P (which is up 35.77 percent). The average fund firm share price increase since the end of 2019 is 79.93 percent, and the median is 47.38 percent.
