Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements 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 we achieve for our clients, general economic conditions, future acquisitions, competitive conditions and government regulations, including changes in tax rates. We caution readers to carefully consider such forward-looking statements in light of these factors. Further, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made; we have 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 Item 1A of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Any or all of the forward-looking statements that we make in Form 10-K, this presentation, or any other public statements we issue may turn out to be wrong. Please remember that factors other than those listed in “Risk Factors” could also adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition.
The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding noteworthy investment opportunity, especially in growth stocks, resulting from second quarter market turbulence, and slower growth in asset inflows in our institutional and retail distribution channels resulting from a decline from the record high levels reached earlier this year in unfunded institutional mandates and difficult capital market conditions, respectively. The actual performance of the capital markets and other factors beyond our control will affect our investment success and asset inflows.
In light of Regulation FD, management will be limited in responding to inquiries from investors or analysts in a non-public forum.
