Asset managers' AUM surges despite inflation-driven market shifts

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
In April, nine major U.S. asset managers reported a 6.3% increase in total assets under management (AUM), reaching $7.11 trillion, with Invesco leading the gains. The rise in AUM was influenced by a year-over-year CPI increase of 3.8%, which lifted Treasury yields and boosted inflows into tech and energy ETFs, while financials experienced outflows. Additionally, international, speculative tech, and commodity-linked equities outperformed the S&P 500, with leveraged ETFs related to AI and memory chips seeing significant surges.
