Assets Under Management (AUM)
What AUM means and how it relates to scale and liquidity.
Plain-English definition
AUM is the total value of assets managed by a fund.
Why it matters
Larger AUM often signals scale and relevance, though it is not a standalone quality marker.
Beginner example
A broad-market ETF with very high AUM may usually have strong trading liquidity and ecosystem support.
Common misunderstanding
High AUM does not automatically mean better future performance.
