Certain statements provided by management in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to
risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The most significant of these factors include, but are
not limited to, the following: the performance of financial markets, the investment performance of sponsored
investment products and separately managed accounts, general economic conditions, industry trends, future
acquisitions, competitive conditions, and government regulations, including changes in tax regulations and rates
and the manner in which the earnings of publicly traded partnerships are taxed. We caution readers to carefully
consider such factors. Further, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such
statements are made; we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of such statements. For further information regarding these forward-looking
statements and the factors that could cause actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008. Any or all of the forward-looking statements that we make in this presentation, Form 10-K,
Form 10-Q, other documents we file with or furnish to the SEC, or any other public statements we issue, may
turn out to be wrong. It is important to remember that other factors besides those listed in “Risk Factors” and
those listed above and below could also adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, results of operations,
and business prospects.
The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding:
Our anticipation that the inevitable recovery following the current bear market will, if history is a guide,
arrive sooner and be stronger than widely expected: Historical performance is not necessarily indicative of
future results or market movements. The actual performance of the capital markets and other factors beyond our
control will affect our investment success for clients and asset flows.
