<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insider transactions serve as a piece of the puzzle in investment decisions, rather than the entire picture.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Edmond Villani Implements A Sell Strategy: Offloads $290K In Cohen & Steers Stock

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/trow#NASDAQ">TROW</a>) announced its preliminary assets under management of $1.61 trillion for August 2024. The figure reflected a sequential increase of 1.6%.
TROW experienced net outflows of $5.3 billion in August 2024.
<h2>Breakdown of TROW&#39;s AUM Performance</h2>
At the end of August, TROW&#39;s equity products aggregated $825 billion, which increased 1.4% from the previous month&#39;s level. Fixed income (including money market) rose marginally to $183 billion. Further, multi-asset products were $553 billion, which increased 2.2% from the previous month.
Alternative products of $51 billion increased 2% from the prior month&#39;s level.
T. Rowe Price registered $474 billion in target date retirement portfolios in August 2024, which increased 2.2% from the prior month.
<h2>Our Take on TROW</h2>
The company&#39;s solid AUM balance, broadening distribution reach and efforts to diversify business through acquisitions are likely to support its top-line growth in the long term. However, the company&#39;s overdependence on investment advisory fees is concerning. Also, T. Rowe Price&#39;s bottom-line growth continues to be under pressure due to high costs.
Over the past three months, shares of T. Rowe Price have lost 8.7% against the industry&#39;s&nbsp; 6.9% growth.

The increase in CNS&#39; AUM balance was driven by the market appreciation of $3.7 billion and net inflows of $8 billion, partially offset by distributions of $152 million.

T. Rowe Price's August AUM Balance Improves 1.6% Sequentially

Franklin Resources, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ben#NYSE">BEN</a>) reported its preliminary assets under management of $1.68 trillion as of Aug. 31, 2024. This reflected an increase of 1.1% from the prior month&#39;s level.
The improvement in AUM balance was due to the impact of positive markets, partially offset by long-term net outflows. Outflows included $7.7 billion of long-term net outflows at Western Asset Management. As previously revealed, the Macro Opportunities strategy, included in Alternative AUM, is closing and had $1.1 billion of AUM as of Aug. 31, 2024, and $0.9 billion of net outflows in the month.
<h2>Break Down of BEN&#39;s AUM Based on Asset Class</h2>
BEN recorded equity assets of $603.7 billion, which rose 2.5% from the previous month. Further, fixed income AUM of $574.5 billion at the end of August 2024 increased marginally from the prior month. Likewise, Multi-asset AUM was $172.9 billion, growing modestly from July 2024.

The cash management balance was $64.35 billion, up 4.6% from the previous month.
<h2>Our Viewpoint on BEN</h2>
Franklin&#39;s efforts to diversify business through buyouts, solid AUM balance and a strong distribution platform will aid its top line. However, elevated expenses and volatility in investment management fees, which bring in the majority of its revenues, are near-term concerns.
Over the past three months, shares of BEN have plunged 11.5% against the industry&#39;s 3.8% rise.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Deciphering Transaction Codes in Insider Filings</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Edmond Villani Implements A Sell Strategy: Offloads $259K In Cohen & Steers Stock

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/trow#NASDAQ">TROW</a>) announced its preliminary assets under management of $1.59 trillion for July 2024. The figure reflected a sequential increase of 1.1%.
TROW experienced net inflows of $2 billion in July 2024.
At the end of July, TROW&#39;s equity products aggregated $814 billion, which increased marginally from the previous month&#39;s level. Fixed income (including money market) rose 1.1% to $182 billion. Further, multi-asset products were $541 billion, which increased 2.3% from the previous month.
Alternative products of $50 billion remained unchanged from the prior month&#39;s level.
T. Rowe Price registered $464 billion in target date retirement portfolios in July 2024, which increased 2.4% from the prior month.
The company&#39;s diversified business model and efforts to broaden distribution reach to international markets and strategic acquisitions will support its top-line growth in the upcoming period. However, the company&#39;s overdependence on investment advisory fees is concerning. Also, T. Rowe Price&#39;s bottom-line growth continues to suffer from high costs.
Over the past three months, shares of T. Rowe Price have lost 1.6% against the industry&#39;s 2% growth.

Shares of financial stocks are trading higher following a softer-than-expected May CPI Report. Also, the Fed left rates unchanged.

Cohen &amp; Steers, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cns#NYSE">CNS</a>) reported preliminary assets under management of $80.5 billion as of May 31, 2024. This reflected growth of 4.3% from the prior month&#39;s level. 
The increase was mainly attributable to a market appreciation of $3.6 billion. This was partly offset by net outflows of $93 million and distributions of $150 million. 
Cohen &amp; Steers recorded total institutional accounts of $32.1 billion at the end of May 2024, jumping 4.8% from the April 2024-end. Of the total institutional accounts, advisory accounts were $18.3 billion, while the rest were sub-advisory. 
Closed-end funds were $11.1 billion, up 3.1% from the April 2024-end level. Further, Open-end funds were $37.3 billion, which rose 4.2% from the previous month. 
CNS&#39; diverse product offerings, global reach and investment strategies are expected to support its financials. A solid AUM balance is likely to continue supporting the top line. However, a challenging operating environment is a major near-term headwind, which might hurt its financials to some extent. 
Over the past year, Cohen &amp; Steers shares have gained 16.5%, underperforming the industry&#39;s growth of 26.5%.
