This article draws from Morningstar Direct data for March 2023 open-end mutual fund and ETF flows, excluding money-market funds and funds of funds. (Other asset management products, like CITs and SMAs, are also not included.) More specifically, this article focuses on the 160 firms (down month-over-month from 163 in February 2023 and down year-over-year from 172 in March 2022) with between $1 billion and $10 billion each in long-term fund AUM.

Small firms had $498 billion in total long-term fund AUM across 4,018 funds as of March 31, 2023, accouning for 2.08 percent of overall industry long-term fund AUM. That compares with $510 billion, 4,306 funds, and 2.17 percent of industry AUM on February 28, 2023, and with $541 billion and 2.04 percent of industry AUM on March 31, 2022.

57 of those small fund firms brought in net inflows in March 2023. That's down M/M from 92 in February 2023 and down Y/Y from 73 in March 2022.

USCF led the way last quarter, thanks to an estimated $852 million in net inflows in the first quarter of 2023. Other big Q1 2023 inflows winners included: Fuller & Thaler, $664 million; North Slope, $603 million; Catalyst, $454 million; and Alpha Architect, $321 million.

North Slope led the pack proportionately last quarter, thanks estimated net Q1 2023 inflows equivalent to 59 percent of its AUM. Other big inflows winners included: Alpha Architect, 23.4 percent; and USCF, 22.8 percent.

Last month, North Slope also took the lead, thanks to an estimated $374 million in net March 2023 inflows, up M/M from $156 million in February 2023. Other big March 2023 inflows winners included: USCF, $303 million (up M/M from $281 million, up Y/Y from $143 million in net outflows in March 2022); and Alpha Architect, $192 million (up M/M from $16 million, up Y/Y from $74 million).

Credit Suisse also led the outflows pack proportionately last quarter, thanks to estimated net Q1 2023 outflows equivalent to 17.5 percent of its AUM. Other big outflows sufferers included: U.S. Global Investors, 15.6 percent; and Highland, 12.4 percent.

And Credit Suisse also took the outflows lead last month, thanks to an estimated $1.186 billion in net March 2023 outflows, up M/M from $105 million in February 2023 and up Y/Y from $376 million in March 2022. Other big March 2023 outflows sufferers included: KraneShares, $391 million (down M/M from $625 million, up Y/Y from $328 million); and AXS, $272 million (down M/M from $354 million in net inflows, up Y/Y from $1 million in net outflows).

As a group, small fund firms brought in an estimated $306 million in net Q1 2023 inflows. That's equivalent to 0.06 percent of their combined AUM.

Yet in March 2023 alone, small fund firms suffered $3.253 billion in net outflows, equivalen to 0.65 percent of their combined AUM and accounting for 12.74 percent of overall industry outflows. That's down M/M from $792 million in net inflows and 0.16 percent of AUM in February 2023, and down Y/Y from $3.391 billion in net outflows and 0.63 percent of AUM in March 2022.

Across the entire industry, the 785 firms tracked by the M* team (up M/M from 782 but down Y/Y from 791) brought in an estimated $15.168 billion in net inflows in Q1 2023. That's equivalent to 0.06 percent of their combined $23.968 trillion in AUM (which is spread across 42,221 funds).

In March 2023, the industry overall suffered an estimated $25.527 billion in long-term fund outflows, equivalent to 0.11 percent of the industry's long-term AUM. That compares with $3.245 billion and 0.01 percent of AUM in February 2023, and with $30.653 billion in net inflows and 0.12 percent of AUM in March 2022.
