MMI and Cerulli Associates announce the release of the Q4 2021 edition of Advisory Solutions Quarterly, which provides statistics on the managed accounts industry as of December 31, 2021. On the back of a roaring equity market, managed account assets closed out 2021 at an all-time high of $10.7 trillion.

MMI and Cerulli Associates announce the release of the Q3 2021 edition of Advisory Solutions Quarterly, which provides statistics on the managed accounts industry. Though managed account assets grew in the third quarter, the 2.4% quarter-over quarter growth is less than one third of the 7.9% expansion the industry experienced during 2Q 2021. An equity market pullback in September 2021, as well as slightly more muted net flows, created a third quarter of modest growth.
