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.
