Franklin Resources, Inc. reported preliminary month-end assets under management (AUM) of $1.64 trillion at August 31, 2025, an increase from $1.62 trillion at July 31, 2025. This rise was primarily driven by positive market impacts, partially offset by preliminary long-term net outflows.
The firm experienced preliminary long-term net outflows of $3 billion for the month. This figure included the funding of a $6 billion fixed income mandate and $7 billion of long-term net outflows from Western Asset Management (WAM). WAM's preliminary AUM remained at $233 billion.
Excluding WAM, Franklin Resources recorded preliminary long-term net inflows of $4 billion for the month, indicating continued strength in other asset classes. The overall AUM growth was supported by favorable markets, despite the significant outflows from WAM and the large mandate funding.
