Total assets under management of $179.3 billion at March 31, 2024 increased 4% from $172.3 billion at December 31, 2023 due to market performance and positive net flows in retail separate accounts, partially offset by net outflows in institutional accounts and open-end funds. In addition, the company provided services to $2.7 billion of other fee-earning assets.
Total sales increased 22% to $7.6 billion from $6.2 billion in the fourth quarter as a result of higher sales in all product categories. Institutional sales of $1.7 billion increased 47% from $1.2 billion in the prior quarter. Retail separate account sales of $2.4 billion increased 12% from $2.1 billion led by the intermediary sold channel. Open-end fund sales of $3.5 billion increased 18% from $2.9 billion reflecting higher sales in almost all investment strategies.
Net flows of ($1.2) billion improved from ($3.8) billion in the fourth quarter and included positive net flows in retail separate accounts, ETFs, and global funds. Institutional net flows of ($1.3) billion improved from ($2.2) billion due to higher sales and lower redemptions. Retail separate account net flows of $0.7 billion increased from $0.4 billion in the prior quarter. Open-end fund net flows of ($0.6) billion improved significantly from ($2.0) billion in the prior quarter and included positive net flows in small/mid-cap, global equity, and fixed income strategies.
GAAP Results
Operating income of $32.3 million declined 17% from $39.0 million in the prior quarter as a 3% increase in revenues, reflecting higher average assets under management, was more than offset by an 8% increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher employment expenses as a result of seasonal employment items and higher variable incentive compensation, partially offset by lower operating expenses of consolidated investment products and lower fair value adjustments to contingent consideration. Other operating expenses were nearly flat sequentially.
Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. of $4.10 per diluted share included ($0.69) of fair value adjustments to affiliate minority interests, ($0.12) of amortization related to an early lease termination fee, and ($0.11) of acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by $0.76 of realized and unrealized gains on investments. Net income per diluted share of $4.21 in the prior quarter included ($0.76) of fair value adjustments to affiliate minority interests, ($0.36) of CLO issuance expense, ($0.18) of acquisition and integration costs, and ($0.13) of fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, partially offset by $0.35 of realized and unrealized gains on investments.
The effective tax rate of 19% decreased from 26% in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting changes in valuation allowances related to marketable securities.
Non-GAAP Results
Revenues, as adjusted, of $200.2 million increased 4% from $193.4 million in the prior quarter primarily due to 7% higher average assets under management partially offset by lower performance fees.
Employment expenses, as adjusted, of $111.6 million increased from $96.7 million in the prior quarter due to $10.9 million of seasonal expenses, primarily payroll taxes and benefits related to the timing of annual incentive payments, in addition to higher variable incentive compensation. Other operating expenses, as adjusted, of $30.2 million decreased from $31.2 million.
Operating income, as adjusted, of $56.4 million and the related margin of 28.2% decreased from $63.9 million and 33.0% in the prior quarter, respectively, due to the seasonal employment expenses, partially offset by higher investment management fees and lower other operating expenses.
Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., as adjusted, per diluted share was $5.41, a decrease of 11% from $6.11 in the prior quarter. The decrease primarily reflected $1.11 per share of seasonal expenses, partially offset by higher revenues, as adjusted, and lower other operating expenses, as adjusted.
The effective tax rate, as adjusted, of 26% compared with 27% in the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations
(in thousands except per share data)
The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items, as well as the exclusion of certain expenses and other items that are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing investment management and related services. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures.
The following are reconciliations and related notes of the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure:
