Segment performance shows business unit health and growth drivers.
Management and advisory fee revenue grew during the quarter and year-to-date period as compared to 2024 resulting from increases in AUM in its separately managed accounts, ETFs, mutual funds and private funds.
These increases in AUM across each of the various products and strategies were largely driven by increases in the market value of Texas Pacific Land Corporation (“TPL”) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust during 2024, which have resulted in higher monthly management fees throughout 2025.
The Company has also experienced additional net cash inflows into the various products and strategies during 2025 and has increased its customer accounts during the quarter.
