This article draws from Morningstar Direct data on September 2021 open-end mutual fund and ETF flows, excluding money-market funds and funds of funds. (Other asset management products, like CITs and SMAs, are also not included.) More specifically, this article focuses on the 168 firms (down from 169 in August 2021 but up from 156 in September 2020) with between $1 billion and $10 billion each in long-term fund AUM.

Small firms had $548 billion in total long-term fund AUM as of September 30, 2021, accounting for 2.42 percent of overall industry long-term fund AUM. That compares with $548 billion and 2.02 percent on August 31, 2021, and $505 billion and 2.39 percent on September 30, 2020.

99 of those small fund firms brought in net inflows last month, down from 100 in August 2021 but up from 156 in September 2020.
