WE FACE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION IN THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT BUSINESS. OUR BUSINESS RELIES ON THIRD-PARTY DISTRIBUTION PROGRAMS. DECLINES IN SECURITIES MARKETS OR POOR INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT AND OUR FUTURE OFFERINGS. FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT. OUR BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT UPON OUR RETAINING OUR KEY PERSONNEL. OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION, AND COMPLIANCE FAILURES AND CHANGES IN REGULATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US. OUR REVENUES WILL DECREASE IF OUR INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS ARE TERMINATED. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CLIENT CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS AND/OR GUIDELINES COULD HAVE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES WHICH COULD CAUSE OUR EARNINGS OR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE. WE MAY CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE OTHER COMPANIES, AND THE EXPECTED BENEFITS OF SUCH ACQUISITIONS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE. RECENT INCREASES IN INDEBTEDNESS COULD INCREASE THE COSTS OF OUR BORROWING AND MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE. WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON ACCESS TO THE REVENUES OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES.
