What is Assets Under Administration (AUA)

Assets Under Administration (AUA) refers to the total value of financial assets managed by a service provider on behalf of clients. These assets are monitored, reported on, and safeguarded, but the provider does not have direct investment control.

How AUA differs from AUM

Unlike Assets Under Management (AUM), where the manager actively makes investment decisions, AUA focuses on administrative tasks like reporting and safekeeping.
