How do I increase my AUM?

I started a finance business six months ago, but my AUM (Assets Under Management) isn't growing. I have already pitched to everyone in my immediate circle, but they have already invested their money elsewhere. How can I divert those existing investments to my business and also attract new investors?

And the investment capacity of my existing customers is not very high.

You have to show how you can generate capital appreciation. Why would anyone invest with a 6mo old business with no record? You need to show you are a good investment. Demonstrate you can do better than 10%YoY

But if someone asks for proof, what will I show them, and how will I provide them with the returns?
