U.S. GAAP
This section discusses the financial results of the Company as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Revenue
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $116.5 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 4.8% from $111.2 million for the third quarter of 2020. The change was primarily due to an increase in investment advisory and administration fees of $8.6 million attributable to higher average assets under management in all three investment vehicles, partially offset by lower performance fees from certain institutional accounts of $3.8 million. Changes to investment advisory and administration fee revenue by investment vehicle were as follows:
•Institutional account revenue decreased $2.2 million to $30.6 million;
•Open-end fund revenue increased $3.5 million to $55.1 million; and
•Closed-end fund revenue increased $3.5 million to $22.2 million.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $427.5 million, an increase of $16.7 million, or 4.1% from $410.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Expenses
Expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $128.4 million, an increase of $60.5 million, or 89.2% from $67.9 million for the third quarter of 2020. The change was primarily due to:
•Higher employee compensation and benefits of $1.4 million, primarily due to higher commissions of $1.3 million associated with the initial public offering of PTA; and
•Higher distribution and service fees of $59.2 million, primarily due to $57.8 million of costs associated with the initial public offering of PTA.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $332.5 million, an increase of $81.8 million, or 32.6% from $250.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Operating Margin
Operating margin was (10.2%) for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with 39.0% for the third quarter of 2020. Operating margin was 22.2% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with 39.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the fourth quarter of 2020, expenses included costs of $60.2 million associated with the initial public offering of PTA. Operating margin represents the ratio of operating income to revenue.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 57.0%, compared with 28.2% for the third quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes as well as the effect of certain permanent differences, the most significant of which related to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, and discrete tax items, primarily related to the reversal of certain liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes as well as the effect of certain permanent differences, the most significant of which related to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation.
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 19.2%, compared with 23.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes as well as the effect of certain permanent differences, the most significant of which related to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation. These were more than offset by discrete tax items, primarily related to the appreciated value of restricted stock units delivered in January 2020. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes, partially offset by the reversal of certain liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits, the release of a portion of the valuation allowance associated with unrealized gains on the Company's seed investments and a discrete item related to the appreciated value of restricted stock units delivered in January 2019.

Investment Performance as of December 31, 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.
