It’s a downward trend that’s continued for Magellan, who reported funds under management in January of $46.2 billion, before dropping to $45.4 billion in February.
From December to January there was a slight increase in total FUM, but from November to December in 2022, FUM dropped from $50.2 billion to $45.3 billion.
Shares in MFG have experienced the full brunt of high inflation and rising interest rates which have created more challenging market conditions for the fund manager.
