Eaton Vance Corp. reported that its profit more than doubled in the second quarter, ended April 30, on strong fund inflows and an increase in assets under management. The Boston-based money manager posted net income of $53.2 million, or 43 cents per share. That compares with net income of $23.1 million, or 17 cents a share, from the comparable period a year earlier. Assets under management rose 6% to $159.1 billion at the end of April, up from $150 billion in the comparable period a year earlier. Net inflows rose to $4.9 billion in the second quarter, up from $3.6 billion in the quarter that ended Jan 31. However, inflows were off from the $10.5 billion in the year-ago quarter, due to a lack of cash going into closed-end funds, the firm reported.
