    Introducing the Leading Institutional Asset Management Brands of 2023

    Industry Leading Brands of 2023

    BlackRock maintained the highest levels of brand awareness among investors and consultants around the world in 2023. The firm’s brand strength was consistently high within the Americas, EMEA and APAC, and within the equity and fixed income categories. 

    The difference between Wellington and BlackRock’s brand awareness ranking scores for 2023 was almost small enough to consider them co-leading institutional asset management brands for the year. Wellington maintained the highest brand strength in every region and in the equity category in 2023. The difference between the two came down to how much higher BlackRock’s brand awareness rankings were within the fixed income category. 

    J.P. Morgan maintained the third highest level of brand awareness throughout 2023 because of its consistency across regions, its strength in APAC, and particularly its relative strength within EMEA compared to its closest brand awareness ranking peer, T. Rowe Price. The firm’s highest asset class brand rankings were for its equity strategies.
