October 05, 2025

Franklin Resources, Inc. reported preliminary month-end assets under management (AUM) of $1.53 trillion at April 30, 2025, a slight decrease from $1.54 trillion at March 31, 2025. This decline was primarily due to preliminary long-term net outflows.

The firm experienced preliminary long-term net outflows of $10 billion for the month, with Western Asset Management (WAM) accounting for the entirety of these outflows. WAM's preliminary AUM stood at $241 billion at month-end, reflecting persistent client withdrawals.

Excluding WAM, preliminary long-term net inflows were flat for the month, indicating that other segments did not offset the significant outflows from the troubled subsidiary. The overall AUM was partially supported by a positive impact from foreign exchange rates.
