question about putting fund size on resume

Lets say you interned at a PE firm that had 2 funds. Fund 1 had 300mm in AUM and the second/current fund had 700mm in AUM. On my resume do I put 700mm or the total amount managed by the firm of $1 billion? Just curious as to what is the norm. Thanks.

“Rachel helped me through the very beginning and we had several iterations that were crucial to the development of a better and great CV for applications. I appreciate her patience and puntual feedback every single time. Also the response time was very short and kept me aware of any delay. It kept me on line for what I had to do and some areas to focus that I didn't knowe before, and some of them honestly I didn't have any idea. Very well all around work”

“Julius was extremely helpful in breaking down the accounting concepts, especially allowing me the opportunity to walk through a question step by step on how the three financial statements are impacted across income, cash flow and balance sheet along with figuring out the mental math for it all. The concept for Equity Value to Enterprise value and bridging between the two were fairly straight forward. Along with the networking advice on reaching out to potential recruiters for Investment banking roles and how lateral recruitement is happening year end vs going into Q1 next year.”

I can't give you an answer, but I'd guess it could make sense to include both numbers. Anyhow I was wondering if it is more common to refer to AUM or the amount of equity (commitments) a pe firm (a fund respectively) can access when talking about size? Obviously to get a better image it would make sense to look at both I think.
