(Other asset management products, like CITs and SMAs, are also not included.) More specifically, this article focused on the 77 firms (down from 79 in August 2021 but up from 73 in September 2020) with between $10 billion and $100 billion each in long-term fund AUM.

Midsize firms had $2.816 trillion in combined long-term fund AUM as of September 30, 2021, and they accounted for 10.57 percent of overall industry long-term fund AUM. That compares with $2.85 trillion and 10.49 percent on August 31, 2021, and $2.647 trillion and 12.53 percent on September 30, 2020. 34 midsize firms brought in net long-term inflows in September 2021, down from 35 in August 2021 but level with 34 in September 2020.

ProShares and ProFunds captured the lead among midsize firms last month, thanks to an estimated $3.234 billion in net September 2021 inflows, up month-over-month from $506 million in August 2021 and up year-over-year from $830 million in September 2020.
