MMI-Cerulli Advisory Solutions Quarterly Available for Download
MMI and Cerulli Associates announce the release of the Q3 2021 edition of Advisory Solutions Quarterly, which provides statistics on the managed accounts industry as of September 30, 2021.
While managed account assets crossed $10 trillion in assets for the first time during the third quarter, the quarter-over-quarter growth (2.4%) was significantly less than the expansion experienced during 2Q 2021 (7.9%). An equity market pullback in September 2021, as well as slightly more muted net flows, contributed to the modest growth during the quarter. Separate accounts led the way in net flows in 3Q 2021, gathering $66 billion in net flows for the quarter.

Separate Accounts Go Back to Their Roots
This edition also delves into the increasing interest in responsible investing as a driving force accelerating the personalization of SMAs. Customization remains an underused feature of SMAs, but the growth of direct indexing and the growing preference for ESG investing, especially among younger investors, promise to accelerate the personalization of SMAs.
