AUM is the total market value of all the money a fund (or AMC) manages. It signals scale and investor trust.

Bigger isn't always better: a very large AUM can make it harder for a small-cap fund to enter/exit positions nimbly, while large-cap and index funds handle size easily. For debt and liquid funds, larger AUM often means better stability.
