Shares of Virtus Investment Partners fell after the company notched lower profit and revenue in the first quarter, and adjusted earnings missed expectations.
The stock sank 11%, to $129.56, on Friday, extending its year-to-date slump to more than 20%.
The company posted a profit of $7.13 million, or $1.05 a share, down from $28.6 million, or $4.05 a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out one-time items, earnings came in at $5.38 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected adjusted earnings of $5.67 a share.
Revenue fell 8.4%, to $199.5 million.
Total assets under management at the end of the quarter stood at $149.03 billion, down from $159.49 billion in the prior quarter. The company attributed the decline to market performance and net outflows in retail separate accounts, institutional and U.S. retail funds.
