What is AUM?

Quick Answer

Assets Under Management — the total market value of assets managed by a fund or advisor.

Understanding AUM

AUM is calculated by multiplying the number of units held by each investor by the current NAV of the scheme. It fluctuates daily with market movements and new investments or redemptions.

For distributors, AUM is the base on which trail commission is calculated. Growing AUM — through both new investments and market appreciation — directly increases trail income.

Tracking AUM across multiple clients, schemes, and folios is one of the core functions of mutual fund software like Wealth Track Auto and AMFI Web.

“For Indian IFAs, a clear understanding of aumis essential to managing a compliant and profitable advisory practice.”
