The World’s Biggest Mutual Fund and ETF Providers

The global net assets of mutual fund and ETF providers totaled $38 trillion in 2022. Despite its massive size, the industry is dominated by a relatively small number of brands.

This graphic, using data from Morningstar, ranks mutual fund and ETF brands by net assets and shows their organic growth rate. The organic growth rate measures the change in net flows, which reflects growth related to marketing efforts and not the market performance of the provider’s funds.

Vanguard and iShares continue to dominate the list and account for 25% of mutual fund and ETF net assets globally. Both saw net inflows, though iShares’ growth rate was much higher. It collected $222B, more than double the $101 billion that Vanguard received.

State Street, the fifth-largest fund brand, was the only other name on the list to see net inflow. The company manages the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, which is the largest ETF in the world. It was a top pick for retail investors in early 2023.

The smallest of the giants—T. Rowe Price and Franklin Templeton—saw net outflows for the second year in a row. Both firms focus on active management, a strategy designed to outperform the general market through the decisions of investment managers.
