The big picture

AGF's August 2026 AUM report highlights a mixed performance, with significant year-over-year growth offset by month-over-month declines in key areas. The firm's strategic focus on private wealth and capital partners appears to be paying off, but broader market conditions and competitive dynamics will be critical to watch. The 30.6% year-over-year increase in total AUM and fee-earning assets underscores AGF's ability to attract and retain assets, though the month-over-month dip suggests potential challenges in maintaining momentum.
