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 2020 was $94.1 million, a decrease of $11.7 million, or 11.1% from $105.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. The change was primarily due to a decrease in investment advisory and administration fees of $10.6 million, primarily attributable to lower average assets under management in all three investment vehicles. Changes to investment advisory and administration fee revenue by investment vehicle were as follows:
Institutional account revenue decreased $3.3 million to $24.5 million;
Open-end fund revenue decreased $5.2 million to $44.6 million; and
Closed-end fund revenue decreased $2.1 million to $17.5 million.
Expenses
Expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $58.8 million, a decrease of $18.7 million, or 24.1% from $77.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. The change was primarily due to:
Lower employee compensation and benefits of $4.3 million, primarily due to lower incentive compensation of $1.5 million and lower payroll taxes of $1.3 million;
Lower distribution and services fees of $1.6 million, primarily due to lower average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds; and
Lower general and administrative expenses of $12.9 million. The first quarter of 2020 included expenses of $11.9 million associated with the Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. (RQI) rights offering.
Operating Margin
Operating margin was 37.5% for the second quarter of 2020, compared with 26.8% for the first quarter of 2020. Operating margin, which represents the ratio of operating income to revenue, increased primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses. During the first quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses included costs associated with the RQI rights offering.

Non-operating income for the second quarter of 2020 was $8.0 million, compared with non-operating loss of $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2020.

For the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s share of non-operating loss from seed investments, excluding a loss of $12.5 million attributable to third-party interests, was $9.4 million.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 was 28.0%, compared with 2.2% for the first quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes and the establishment of a valuation allowance associated with unrealized losses on the Company’s seed investments, partially offset by discrete tax items, primarily related to the appreciated value of the restricted stock units delivered in January 2020.

Investment Performance at June 30, 2020

_________________________
(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of withholding taxes, where applicable.

Based on independent rating by Morningstar, Inc. of investment performance of each Cohen & Steers-sponsored open-end U.S.-registered mutual fund for all share classes for the overall period at June 30, 2020. Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average based on the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year Morningstar rating. Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
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.
