Investment Income

Investment income increased to $188.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $176.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income as a result of an increase in our investment portfolio.

Expenses

Total net expenses decreased to $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $56.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of decreased leverage in the quarter following the final capital call in June.
