Net flows | $ | 1.3 | $ | 2.8 | (54%) | $ | 2.4 | (46%) | |||||||||
Total assets under management increased 6% to $178.6 billion at June 30, 2021 from $168.9 billion at March 31, 2021 due to $8.8 billion of market performance and $1.3 billion of positive net flows. In addition, the company had $3.8 billion of other fee earning assets, an increase from $3.4 billion at March 31, 2021.
Total sales of $9.6 billion compared with $10.6 billion in the prior quarter, the company's highest level of quarterly sales, as increased sales of institutional products and exchange traded funds (ETFs) were more than offset by lower sales of open-end funds and retail separate accounts. Institutional sales of $2.3 billion increased 22% sequentially, primarily due to several meaningful new mandates that funded during the quarter. Open-end fund sales of $4.7 billion declined from a quarterly high of $5.9 billion in the first quarter as higher sales of multi-asset and alternative funds were more than offset by a decline in equity and fixed income strategies. Retail separate account sales of $2.3 billion compared with $2.7 billion in the first quarter as modestly higher private client sales were offset by a decline in the intermediary sold channel.
Net flows of $1.3 billion represented an annualized organic growth rate of 3.2% and included positive net flows in retail separate accounts, institutional accounts, and ETFs. Organic growth for the trailing 12 months was 7.1%, with positive net flows across products and asset classes. Retail separate accounts contributed positive net flows of $1.4 billion in the quarter with continued net inflows in both the intermediary sold and private client channels. Institutional net flows of $0.1 billion were positive for the third consecutive quarter and included mandates at multiple affiliates. ETF net flows of $0.1 billion were positive for the fourth consecutive quarter. Open-end fund net flows of ($0.2) billion compared with $0.6 billion in the prior quarter and reflected positive net flows in fixed income, multi-asset, alternative, global equity, and international equity, offset by domestic and specialty equity.
GAAP Results
Operating income increased 39% to $86.4 million from $62.1 million in the prior quarter, as a 12% increase in total revenues, due to higher average assets under management, was partially offset by a 2% increase in total operating expenses.
Higher average assets in the second quarter reflected the full-quarter impact of the Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) partnership, market performance, and positive net flows. The sequential increase in operating expenses included higher distribution and other asset-based expenses as well as higher other operating expenses due to the addition of a new affiliate, NFJ. This increase was partially offset by lower employment expenses, which included seasonal items in the prior quarter.
Net income attributable to common stockholders of $7.86 per diluted common share included ($1.20) of fair value adjustments on affiliate noncontrolling interests and ($0.24) of acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by $0.58 of realized and unrealized gains on investments. Net income per diluted share in the prior quarter of $4.54 included ($1.68) of fair value adjustments on affiliate noncontrolling interests, ($0.29) of realized and unrealized losses on investments, and ($0.24) of acquisition and integration costs. The fair value adjustments on affiliate noncontrolling interests reflect the increase in the value of an affiliate with minority ownership.
The effective tax rate during the quarter of 23% compared with 22% in the prior quarter.
Non-GAAP Results
Revenues, as adjusted, of $210.3 million increased 12% sequentially as a result of a 12% increase in average assets under management due to the full-quarter impact of the AllianzGI partnership, market performance, and positive net flows. Revenues, as adjusted, included performance-related fees of $0.8 million, compared with $0.6 million in the prior quarter.
Employment expenses, as adjusted, decreased to $86.5 million from $90.4 million in the prior quarter largely due to seasonally higher first quarter expenses, partially offset by higher profit-based incentive compensation and a full quarter of expenses for a new affiliate. Other operating expenses, as adjusted, of $19.9 million increased sequentially from $17.8 million due to the director equity grants of $0.8 million, growth of the business, expenses for the new affiliate, and a modest increase in travel and related expenses.
Operating income, as adjusted, and the related margin increased to $102.9 million and 48.9%, respectively, from $78.0 million and 41.6% in the prior quarter due to higher revenues and lower seasonal employment expenses.
Net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, per diluted common share was $9.07, an increase of $2.29, or 34%, from $6.78 in the prior quarter, and the company's highest reported level. The sequential increase primarily reflected higher revenues, as adjusted, as a result of the higher average assets under management, and lower employment expenses due to prior quarter seasonality.
The effective tax rate, as adjusted, of 27% was unchanged from the prior quarter.

Notes to Reconciliations:
Reclassifications:
1. Consolidated investment products - Revenues and expenses generated by operating activities of mutual funds and CLOs that are consolidated in the financial statements. Management believes that excluding these operating activities to reflect net revenues and expenses of the company prior to the consolidation of these products is consistent with the approach of reflecting its operating results from managing third-party client assets.
Other Adjustments:
Revenue Related
2. Investment management/Distribution and service fees - Each of these revenue line items is reduced to exclude fees passed through to third-party client intermediaries who own the retail client relationship and are responsible for distributing the product and servicing the client. The amount of fees fluctuates each period, based on a predetermined percentage of the value of assets under management, and varies based on the type of investment product. The specific adjustments are as follows:
Investment management fees - Based on specific agreements, the portion of investment management fees passed-through to third-party intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products.
Distribution and service fees - Based on distinct arrangements, fees collected by the company then passed-through to third-party client intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products. The adjustment represents all of the company's distribution and service fees that are recorded as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company's operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries.
Expense Related
3. Distribution and other asset-based expenses - Primarily payments to third-party client intermediaries for providing services to investors in sponsored investment products. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries.
4.Amortization of intangible assets - Non-cash amortization expense or impairment expense, if any, attributable to acquisition-related intangible assets, including any portion that is allocated to noncontrolling interests. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.
5.Restructuring and severance - Certain expenses associated with restructuring the business, including lease abandonment-related expenses and severance costs associated with staff reductions, that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating results with prior periods.
6. Acquisition and integration expenses - Expenses that are directly related to acquisition and integration activities. Acquisition expenses include transaction closing costs, certain professional fees, and financing fees. Integration expenses include costs incurred that are directly attributable to combining businesses, including compensation, restructuring and severance charges, professional fees, consulting fees, and other expenses. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company's operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.

7. Other - Certain expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. Employment expenses and noncontrolling interests are adjusted for fair value measurements of affiliate minority interests. Interest expense is adjusted to remove gains on early extinguishment of debt. Income tax expense (benefit) items are adjusted for uncertain tax positions, changes in tax law, valuation allowances, and other unusual or infrequent items not related to current operating results to reflect a normalized effective rate. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company's operating results with prior periods.

Seed Capital and CLO Related
8. Seed capital and CLO investments (gains) losses - Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) of seed capital and CLO investments. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) generated by investments in seed capital and CLO investments can vary significantly from period to period and do not reflect the company's operating results from providing investment management and related services. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating results with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do not have meaningful seed capital and CLO investments.
Definitions:
Revenues, as adjusted, comprise the fee revenues paid by clients for investment management and related services. Revenues, as adjusted, for purposes of calculating net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, differ from U.S. GAAP, namely in excluding the impact of operating activities of consolidated investment products and reduced to exclude fees passed-through to third-party client intermediaries who own the retail client relationship and are responsible for distributing the product and servicing the client.
