The September-quarter numbers show a contrast between asset growth and earnings.

Higher assets can expand an AMC's revenue base, but profitability also depends on the mix of assets managed, fee yields, distribution structure and operating expenses.

For the quarter under review, operating revenue increased while the faster increase in costs resulted in lower reported profit.
