Asset Managers Slip As the NYSE Circuit Breaker Trips

Reported by Neil Anderson, Managing Editor

It's been a rough couple of weeks for Mister Market, what with the coronavirus and oil price swings, and publicly traded asset managers continue to feel the burn.

Martin L. Flanagan

President and CEO
The S&P 500 fell 7.6 percent today: the market fell so fast in the opening minutes this morning that the NYSE's circuit breaker triggered, halting all trading for 15 minutes. (It was the first such triggering since December 2008.) 20 publicly traded U.S. asset managers tracked by MFWire saw their shares fall an average of 7.7 percent today. They're down an average of 11.7 percent so far this month (while the S&P 500 is down 7.03 percent), 19.1 percent since the end of January (14.8 percent for the S&P 500), and 18.1 percent year-to-date (15 percent for the S&P 500).

Here are each of the 20 asset managers, ranked by their year-to-date share price performance:
