In this article, we will take a look at the Top 9 Undervalued Asset Management Stocks to Buy.

Wealth management and brokerage stocks have held firm in one of the most unpredictable years characterized by mounting economic and trade policy uncertainty. While uncertainties threatened to cut short a boom in investor trading activity, the segment has remained resilient, supported by a robust US economy and accommodative monetary policies.

Likewise, the rebound in asset management that began in 2024 continued into the first half of the year. The global assets under management hit a record high of $147 trillion as of the end of June, as most managers shrugged off the uncertainties triggered by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade war.

According to Moody’s, the resilience in the asset management sector comes amid emerging trends and a dynamic digital and economic landscape. For starters, private credit is becoming a key puzzle in asset management as non-bank institutions increasingly reshape capital investment by providing businesses with flexible alternatives to traditional bank lending.

“At Moody’s, we anticipate the size and scope of global private credit markets will continue to grow rapidly through 2025, driven by potentially lower interest rates, and solid economic strength in the US and Europe. Global private credit assets under management are projected to reach $3 trillion by 2028, reflecting greater momentum than in recent years, as outlined in our 2025 Outlook,” Moody’s wrote in a blog post.

According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, a series of bad loans clipping the wings of alternative asset manager stocks is presenting a window of opportunity for some high-flying names. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the top undervalued asset management stocks to buy as US markets flirt with record highs.

Our Methodology

To identify the top undervalued asset management stocks to buy, we used the Finviz stock screener and other online sources to compile an initial group of US-listed equities. From this pool, we focused on companies with significant exposure to asset management and that are popular among elite hedge funds, as of Q2 2025. We further trimmed our list by focusing on stocks with a price-to-earnings multiple of less than 20 and an upside potential of more than 20% (as of November 7). The final list is ranked in ascending order by the number of hedge funds holding stakes in the stocks.
