Analysis
NAICS 52599 is the 2022 NAICS industry for other financial vehicles, part of 5259 (Other Investment Pools and Funds).
It has only one more detailed code, 525990, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 77% and employment rose 129%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
County Business Patterns counts 1,652 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 7,819 people at an average annual payroll of $167,622 per employee (99th percentile of national industries). 83% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 2 codes at this level within Other Investment Pools and Funds, with 82.4% of them.
