Assets Under Supervision

Financial Term

Assets Under Supervision (AUS) refers to the total value of financial assets managed and monitored by a financial institution, such as a bank, investment advisor, or wealth management firm. This includes a range of assets, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment vehicles, as well as other financial products like insurance policies and annuities.

In the financial industry, AUS is an important performance metric used to measure the scale and success of a financial institution*s asset management business. It is used as an indication of the amount of wealth they have under their control and the amount of fees generated by their management services.

The calculation of AUS is straightforward. It involves adding up the market value of all the financial assets that a financial institution manages on behalf of clients or investors. The AUS figure is calculated at regular intervals, usually quarterly or annually, and is reported in financial statements or performance reports issued by the institution.

The significance of AUS can vary depending on the type of financial institution and the nature of its business. For example, AUS is particularly important for wealth management firms and investment advisors, who rely on management fees generated by the assets under their care to generate revenue. In contrast, a commercial bank may have a smaller proportion of assets under management, but still, use the metric to measure revenue from transactions like loans, mortgages, and credit cards.

In summary, AUS is a vital metric used in the financial industry to measure the scale and growth of asset management businesses, and the fees generated from such activities. It provides valuable insights into the financial health and performance of financial institutions.
