J.P. Morgan Asset Management's assets under management were $1.771 trillion as of Dec. 31, flat from three months earlier but up 3% from Dec. 31, 2015, said the earnings report from parent company J.P. Morgan Chase on Friday.
The company attributed the year-over-year increase to market returns and inflows into cash and long-term strategies.

Multiasset and alternatives, fixed-income and equities strategies accounted for $3 billion, $6 billion and $12 billion, respectively, in net outflows. Liquidity strategies had $35 billion in net inflows. Market performance resulted in a $15 billion decrease in AUM during the three months ended Dec. 31.
Of the overall AUM, $869 billion was institutional, $467 billion in retail and $435 billion from private banking clients. Institutional AUM dropped 2% from three months earlier and 1% from a year earlier.
