Pretax adjusted operating margin remained strong at 22.7 percent. Adjusted operating net revenues increased 7 percent to $1.7 billion, reflecting strong client activity, increased advisor productivity and higher earnings on cash balances. Transactional activity grew 6 percent sequentially as client engagement continued to improve following recent market volatility. Adjusted operating expenses increased 7 percent to $1.3 billion, reflecting higher distribution expense and volume-related expense due to transactional activity, investments for growth and higher mark-to-market impact on advisor deferred compensation expense. Advice & Wealth Management total client assets increased 7 percent to $608 billion. Organic growth remains strong with $4.8 billion of wrap net inflows. Total wrap assets increased 13 percent to $292 billion. Client brokerage cash balances were essentially flat to a year ago at $24.3 billion.

Second quarter net pretax adjusted operating margin was 37.1 percent. Adjusted operating revenues declined 6 percent driven by the cumulative impact of net outflows, lower equity market appreciation, unfavorable foreign exchange translation and lower seed money gains, partially offset by higher performance fees. Adjusted operating expenses declined 4 percent reflecting lower distribution expenses, and well-managed general and administrative expenses, partially offset by Brexit and other regulatory-related costs. Net outflows in the quarter were $1.9 billion, which included $2.9 billion of reinvested dividends. In North America, retail flows continued to improve on a sequential basis to $1.2 billion of inflows, reflecting continued market share gains at several large retail intermediaries. In EMEA, Brexit and geopolitical uncertainty continued to mute retail flows, however, there was improvement on a sequential basis to $0.7 billion of outflows. Global institutional outflows excluding former parent related assets were $1.4 billion. Former parent related outflows improved to $1.0 billion. In addition, during the quarter a strategy was added to a model portfolio and was funded initially for more than $800 million; this is considered assets under advisement and not included in net flows. 4

Annuity net amount at risk as a percent of account values was 0.6 percent for living benefits and 0.1 percent for death benefits, one of the lowest among major variable annuity writers. Fixed annuity pretax adjusted operating earnings were $10 million, reflecting continued spread compression from the extended period of low interest rates, lower account balances and the reinsurance of 20 percent of the block in the first quarter.

Overall claims were within expected ranges, though life claims were unfavorable to the year ago quarter. VUL/UL cash sales were $70 million, down 7 percent, primarily due to lower indexed universal life lump sum and installment sales. 5
