U.S. GAAP
This section discusses the financial results of the Company as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Revenue
Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $92.8 million, an increase of $3.1 million from $89.7 million for the first quarter of 2017. Higher average assets under management and one more day in the quarter resulted in the following changes in investment advisory and administration fees:
Institutional account revenue increased $291,000 to $24.9 million;
Open-end fund revenue increased $2.1 million to $40.4 million; and
Closed-end fund revenue increased $632,000 to $19.6 million.
Expenses
Expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $55.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million from $54.2 million for the first quarter of 2017. The change was primarily due to:
Higher employee compensation and benefits of $1.0 million, primarily due to higher incentive compensation which increased consistent with revenue growth; and
Increased distribution and service fees of $377,000, primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds.
Operating Margin
Operating margin was 40.3% for the second quarter of 2017, compared with 39.6% for the first quarter of 2017.
Non-operating Income
Non-operating income for the second quarter of 2017 was $261,000, compared with $227,000 for the first quarter of 2017. Non-operating income includes interest earned on corporate cash, results from seed investments, as well as gains and losses associated with forward currency contracts used to hedge certain non-U.S. dollar investment advisory fees receivable.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 was 38.4%, compared with 35.8% for the first quarter of 2017. The first quarter of 2017 included tax benefits related to discrete items recorded in the quarter.

As Adjusted
The term “As Adjusted” is used to identify non-GAAP financial information in the discussion below and excludes the financial results associated with the Companys seed investments and the related tax effect as well as discrete tax items, if any. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” on pages 17-18 of this release for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Non-Operating Income
Non-operating income, as adjusted, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $325,000, compared with non-operating loss, as adjusted, of $167,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The change was primarily due to net gains associated with forward currency contracts used to hedge certain non-U.S. dollar investment advisory fees receivable and higher interest earned on corporate cash.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Management believes that use of the following non-GAAP financial measures enhances the evaluation of the Company’s results, as they provide greater transparency into the Company's operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used to prepare the Company's internal management reports and are used by management in evaluating the Company's business.
While management believes that this non-GAAP financial information is useful in evaluating the Company's results and operating performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
