Colonial is now Australia's second largest fund manager usurping long-time rival BT Funds Management as the second fiddle to the AMP colossus.
According to the latest ASSIRT market share figures, Colonial's funds under man-agement grew 25 per cent between March and June to just under $41 billion, whereas BT Funds Management slipped 3 per cent to just over $36 billion.
This is the first time that Colonial has appeared at the number two spot on the league ladder and the first time BT has fallen a rung. In fact at the end of March, Colonial was sitting at the number four spot behind AMP, BT and Lend Lease with $32.5 billion under management. Colonial's figure has no doubt been buoyed by the acquisitions of Prudential and Legal & General while BT's woes stem from the uncertainty over ownership.
