The $1.094 billion figure is slightly lower than the $1.165 billion figure posted in the three months ending October 31 last year, and significantly lower than the $1.825 billion gained through flows in the three months ending July 31, 2009.

The 39 cents per share in earnings beat the average forecast of 33 cents, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Total assets under management increased to $154.9 billion, from $143.7 billion posted at the end of Q3 2009, and up from $123.1 billion at the end of Q4 2008.
