    @MFO Members:(If its worth doing, its worth doing right !)

    The mutual fund industry currently has $18.9 trillion in total assets, $10.8 trillion of which is held by 10 companies. Here’s a look at the giants of a gigantic industry. Asset figures are through June 30 and were provided by the Investment Company Institute.
    The fund companies are ranked by total mutual fund assets, excluding exchange-traded-fund assets.
    The totals include long-term assets in stock and bond mutual funds, as well as short-term assets in cash management funds.

    Yikes - T. Rowe is right up there. Looks like all, or mostly all, are publically owned. Never fully understood how Vanguard works except that it’s investor owned - possibly in the same way credit unions are owned by their members?

    (I stand corrected - Fidelity is privately owned.)
  • Vanguard is owned by its funds - not publically owned.
    Fidelity is private - Johnson family, plus.
    Capital Research - private
    Nuveen - owned by TIAA, a not-for-profit company
    Dimensional Fund Advisors, LP - private
