Asset Management Companies in the UK

Having worked at several investment banks and asset management in the UK I was wondering which ones are the biggest asset managers in the UK. I don’t mean to list just the UK fund managers, but also US fund managers operating in the UK. So I searched in Wikipedia and Google, and the individual websites of each companies and wrote what I found below. Links to sources are on the AUM figures.
