U.S. GAAP
This section discusses the financial results of the Company as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Prior year revenue from model-based portfolios was reclassified from other (previously reported as portfolio consulting and other) to investment advisory and administration fees.
Revenue
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $109.8 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 4.7% from $105.0 million for the third quarter of 2019. The change was primarily due to an increase in investment advisory and administration fees of $4.4 million attributable to higher average assets under management. Changes to investment advisory and administration fee revenue by investment vehicle were as follows:
| • | Institutional account revenue increased $1.8 million to $29.3 million; and |
|---|---|
| • | Open-end fund revenue increased $2.6 million to $51.1 million. |
| --- | --- |
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $410.8 million, an increase of $29.7 million, or 7.8% from $381.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Expenses
Expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $63.4 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 2.2% from $64.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. The change was primarily due to:
| • | Lower employee compensation and benefits of $2.9 million, primarily due to an adjustment to reflect actual incentive compensation to be paid; |
|---|---|
| • | Higher distribution and service fees of $229,000, primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds, partially offset by the impact of redemptions from a higher cost intermediary; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | Higher general and administrative expenses of $1.2 million, primarily due to higher travel and entertainment as well as costs associated with the Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. rights offering. |
| --- | --- |
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $250.7 million, an increase of $16.6 million, or 7.1% from $234.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Operating Margin
Operating margin was 42.3% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared with 38.2% for the third quarter of 2019.
Operating margin was 39.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with 38.6% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes, offset by the reversal of certain liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits and the release of a portion of the valuation allowance associated with unrealized gains on the Company's seed investments. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state, local and foreign taxes, partially offset by the release of a portion of the valuation allowance associated with unrealized gains on the Company's seed investments.

Investment Performance as of December 31, 2019
_________________________
| (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.
