This article draws from Morningstar Direct data on August 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 72 firms (down month-over-month from 75 in July 2023) with between $10 billion and $100 billion each in long-term fund AUM.

Midsize firms had $2.514 trillion in combined long-term fund AUM across 13,050 funds as of August 31, 2023, and they accounted for 9.97 percent of total industry long-term fund AUM. That compares with $2.642 trillion, 14,312 funds, and 10.19 percent of industry AUM on July 31, 2023, and with $2.475 trillion and 10.56 percent of industry AUM on August 31, 2022.

21 midsize firms brought in net August 2023 inflows. That's up M/M and year-over-year from 20 in July 2023 and in August 2022.

WisdomTree took the lead last month, thanks to an estimated $1.428 billion in net August 2023 inflows, up M/M from $928 million in July 2023 and up Y/Y from $865 million in August 2022. Other big August 2023 inflows winners included: Rafferty's Direxion, $1.223 billion (up M/M from $219 million, up Y/Y from $553 million); Pacer, $1.044 billion (up M/M from $519 million, up Y/Y from $982 million); Baird (including Strategas), $569 million (down M/M from $1.502 billion, down Y/Y from $1.25 billion); and GQG, $439 million (up M/M from $164 million, up Y/Y from $304 million).

Pacer took the lead proportionately last month, thanks to estimated net inflows equivalent to 3.8 percent of its AUM. Other big August 2023 inflows winners included: Direxion, 3.7 percent; and GQG, 2.5 percent.

On the flip side, Macquarie's Delaware took the outflows lead last month, thanks to an estimated $1.07 billion in net August 2023 outflows, up M/M from $763 million in July 2023 and up Y/Y from $960 million in August 2022. Other big August 2023 outflows sufferers included: DWS (including Xtrackers), $826 million (up M/M from $145 million, up Y/Y from $571 million); Federated Hermes, $674 million (up M/M from $507 million, up Y/Y from $396 million); Harbor, $648 million (up M/M from $188 million, up Y/Y from $173 million); and ProShares and ProFunds, $619 million (down M/M from $969 million, down Y/Y from $1.409 billion in net inflows).

Mercer led the outflows pack proportionately again last month, thanks to net August 2023 outflows equivalent to 2.8 percent of its AUM. Other big outflows sufferers included: Alger, 2.5 percent; and Abrdn, 2.5 percent.

As a group, midsize firms suffered an estimated $6.546 billion in net August 2023 outflows, equivalent to 0.26 percent of their combined AUM and accounting for 26.75 percent of overall industry outflows. That compares with $2.415 billion and 0.09 percent in July 2023, and with $8.17 billion and 0.33 percent in August 2022.

As of August 31, midsize firms have suffered an estimated $29.1 billion in net 2023 outflows. That's equivalent to 1.16 percent of their combined AUM.
