David Brown, Chairman and CEO of Victory Capital Holdings, discussed the firm's growth strategy and industry trends in recent podcast and media appearances. He described the asset management industry as undergoing consolidation driven by the need for scale in distribution, technology, and data, and stated that Victory Capital expects to be a major participant in that consolidation. Brown noted that the firm does not use an M&A team or consultants, with its own managers and leaders handling diligence, negotiation, and integration. He also described Victory Capital's goal of reaching $1 trillion in assets as "aspirational," noting the firm had grown from approximately $15 billion in assets at its 2013 management buyout to over $300 billion, with ETFs expected to play a significant role in future growth. Brown also discussed the firm's recent acquisition of the Amundi US business and the revival of the Pioneer Investments brand, which he said had received positive feedback. He expressed support for ETF share classes for mutual funds, calling the innovation "truly innovative" and predicting it would reshape both the ETF and mutual fund industries. In a separate interview, Brown discussed relocating to San Antonio in 2020 and helping secure a naming-rights partnership with the San Antonio Spurs, describing the city as home for his family. He also offered advice for young investors, emphasizing the importance of starting early and maintaining a long-term market perspective, and cautioned against tapping retirement funds except as a last resort.
