T.Rowe Price[see profile] this morning reported a 29 percent jump in its second-quarter net income compared to the year-ago period.

In the three months ended June 30, the Baltimore-based asset manager chalked up net income of $204.7 million, or 76 cents per share, up from $158.5 million, or 59 cents per share last year. The latest figure, however, fell short of analyst expectations. Wall Street analysts had forecast earnings of 77 cents a share, according to Reuters.

T. Rowe officials said AUM went up $11 billion from end-March to a record $520.9 billion at the end of June. That includes $305.6 billion in the T. Rowe Price mutual funds distributed U.S. and $215.3 billion in other managed investment portfolios.
