Result Drivers

  • ATLANTIC HOUSE ACQUISITION - Co said higher AUM and revenues were partly driven by the acquisition of Atlantic House

  • NET INFLOWS - Net inflows of $3.1 bln were mainly into commodity, international developed equity and U.S. equity products, partly offset by outflows from leveraged and inverse products

  • OPERATING MARGIN EXPANSION - Margin improvement was driven by higher revenues, lower acquisition-related costs, and seasonally elevated compensation expense in the prior period, partly offset by higher intangible amortization from the Atlantic House acquisition
