The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Investment management revenue increased, driven by higher gains on money trusts, gains on sales of securities and foreign exchange gains, among others, but investment management expenses also increased, mainly due to losses on sales of securities. Other ordinary revenues, including reversals of policy reserves, declined.
