An additional $16.9 million of incentive income in the third quarter of 2012 was attributable to tax distributions, almost entirely from Opps VIIb.

Investment income

Investment income increased $148.9 million, to $62.8 million for the third quarter of 2012 from a loss of $86.1 million for the third quarter of 2011.
