Positive Outlook
- Our pending acquisition of Legg Mason, Inc. remains subject to transaction-related and other risks.
- We may review and pursue strategic transactions that could pose risks to our business.
- Our increasing focus on international markets as a source of investments and sales of our products subjects us to increased exchange rate and market-specific political, economic or other risks that may adversely impact our revenues and income generated overseas.
- Our business operations are complex and a failure to perform operational tasks properly or the misrepresentation of our services and products resulting, without limitation, in the termination of investment management agreements representing a significant portion of our AUM, could have an adverse effect on our revenues and income.
- Our funds may be subject to liquidity risks or an unanticipated large number of redemptions.
Challenges Ahead
- Our business and operations are subject to adverse effects from the outbreak and spread of contagious diseases such as COVID-19, and we expect such adverse effects to continue.
- Failure to establish adequate controls and risk management policies, or the circumvention of controls and policies, could have an adverse effect on our operations, reputation and financial position.
- Volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and adverse changes in the global economy, may significantly affect our results of operations and may put pressure on our financial results.
- Poor investment performance of our products could reduce the level of our AUM or affect our sales, and negatively impact our revenues and income.
- Any significant limitation, failure or security breach of our information and cyber security infrastructure, software applications, technology or other systems that are critical to our operations could disrupt our business and harm our operations and reputation.
