Quick Take

Executive Summary
Teton Advisors is a Delaware-incorporated holding company that provides investment advisory services through two registered investment advisor subsidiaries: Keeley-Teton Advisors and Teton Advisors LLC. The firm specializes in small, mid and micro-cap active value investing, managing eight mutual funds under the TETON Westwood and KEELEY brands, along with separately managed accounts and private wealth accounts. For Q3 2024, total revenues decreased 0.1% to $3.1 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to a 15.6% decline in mutual fund advisory fees offset by a 42.5% increase in separate account fees. The company completed the acquisition of Wilen Investment Management in August 2024, adding approximately $109 million in AUM. Assets under management totaled $1.407 billion at quarter-end, up 9.0% from the prior quarter due to $40 million in net inflows and $76 million in asset appreciation. Net income was $245,257 or $0.15 per share, down from $344,394 in the prior year primarily due to higher tax provisions related to employee stock award vestings.
