Forward – Looking Statements Statements in this presentation that are not purely historical facts, including statements about our expected future financial position, preliminary estimates, results of operations or cash flows, as well as other statements including words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “target,” “designed,” “on track,” “comfortable with,” “optimistic” and other similar expressions, constitute forward- looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results and the timing of some events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward- looking statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, those set forth below: • our ability to identify and successfully market services that appeal to our customers; • the significant concentration of our revenues in four of our customers; • our relationships with investment consulting firms; • our relationships with current and potential customers; • our ability to retain qualified personnel; • our ability to successfully develop and market new asset classes; • our ability to maintain our fee structure in light of competitive fee pressures; • competition in the marketplace; • downturn in the financial markets; • the passage of legislation adversely affecting the financial services industries; • interest rates; • changes in our effective tax rate; • our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls; and • the other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC reports. Additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which together with our other filings can be viewed at www.sec.gov.
