For those of us who do not know how to estimate the AUMs, there is a way:

You can simply go to the website and look at their funds performance. For example, I recorded AUM at the end of Jan of 2017 and the end of 2017. In the 11 month period, AUM grew around 25%. Those numbers are only the approximations of the FUMAA, but it came close. In the same period, the ASX200 index went up 5%.

	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4
0	{colgroup}
1	{col=120x@}{/col}{col=120x@}{/col}{col=120x@}{/col}{col=120x@}{/col}
2	{/colgroup}
3	FPS AUM vs ASX 200		FPS AUM	ASX 200 performance
4	2003		-12%	-9.4%
5	2004		28%	16.7%
6	2005		29%	20.9%
7	2006		25%	20.2%
8	2007		29%	23.7%
9	2008		-6.6%	-20%
10	2009		-21.4%	-24.7%
11	2010		16.3%	10.7%
12	2011			12%

Here is another excel I used to compare the performance between the market index and the FUMAA. I am not sure why I stopped in 2011, but for those of you who are not familiar with the company, it is worth a look. After 2011, FID performed even better than the index than in the past and data is easy to find.

You do not have to be a genius to understand the meaning of those numbers. Something has to be done right to get the results and it cannot be explained by luck. As I said, do your own work in each company you own. Otherwise, you would just be like a traveller in a train station trying to find the fastest train by hopping on and off, and never get to where you want to be.
