Key Facts

1Lazard reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of approximately $284.8 billion as of May 31, 2026.

2Victory Capital reported Total Client Assets of $342.4 billion as of May 31, 2026.

3Lazard's AUM included market appreciation of $11.6 billion, partially offset by net outflows of $1.4 billion.

Amid stabilizing global financial markets, major asset management firms have released monthly updates reflecting the resilience of their investment portfolios. Lazard reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of approximately $284.8 billion as of May 31, 2026, with market appreciation adding $11.6 billion to the total, partially offset by net outflows of $1.4 billion. Meanwhile, Victory Capital reported total client assets reaching $342.4 billion for the same period.

This growth in managed assets aligns with positive trends across the asset management sector, where peers such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have previously shown similar benefits from rising equity valuations. Per market data, improved investor risk appetite has helped mitigate the impact of outflows in certain active funds, maintaining robust AUM levels compared to the first quarter of the year.

Investors should monitor how upcoming economic data impacts the sustainability of these asset levels, particularly with the Fed Barr speech scheduled for later today, June 10, 2026. Additionally, the EIA Weekly Petroleum Report and the ISM Services PMI will provide further signals on inflation and growth trends, which are critical factors in determining future capital flows into investment funds.
