On its quarterly earnings call held on November 1, 2018, BrightSphere Investment Group plc (the "Company") discussed its expectation to redomicile to the United States in order to streamline its organizational structure. The redomicile will allow the Company to provide improved clarity to shareholders around governance, legal and regulatory structures. Implementation of the redomicile will require a shareholder vote and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019. The Company expects minimal impact to its tax rate, which is expected to remain in the range of 23 to 24 percent.
