Where AAMI is headed
Acadian today is what BrightSphere always should have been. The old holding company structure that lumped a quant manager in with a bunch of mediocre affiliates is gone, the name is gone, and what's left is a 46-year-old Boston systematic equity shop that just printed 39% revenue growth in an industry where most peers are bleeding fee rate. That is not a normal asset manager number. It is what happens when a quant platform finally gets credit for performance fees in a year its models worked, on top of a base business compounding AUM in long-extension and emerging markets strategies that BlackRock and State Street structurally cannot run.
