RISK FACTORS (continued)
Operational risks may disrupt our businesses, result in losses or limit our growth and failure to maintain the security of our information and technology networks, intellectual property and
proprietary business information could have a material adverse effect on us.
Extensive regulation in the United States and abroad, including financial regulatory changes (such as those regarding derivatives and commodity interest transactions), affects our
activities, increases the cost of doing business and creates the potential for significant liabilities, penalties and additional burdens.
Third-party investors in substantially all of our carry funds have rights that in certain circumstances could lead to a decrease in our revenues. In addition, third-party investors in our
investment funds with commitment-based structures may not satisfy their contractual obligation to fund capital calls when requested by us, which could adversely affect a fund's
performance.
Our private equity funds' performance, and our performance, may be adversely affected by the financial performance, financial projections or contingent liabilities of our portfolio
companies and the industries in which our funds invest, including securities of companies that are experiencing significant financial or business difficulties.
Investments in the insurance industry (including our investment in Fortitude Holdings) could be adversely impacted by insurance regulations and potential regulatory reforms. Our
relationship with Fortitude Holdings may not generate a meaningful contribution to our revenue and our ownership and control of Fortitude Holdings could give rise to real or apparent
conflicts of interest.
Ongoing trade negotiations and potential for further regulatory reform may create regulatory uncertainty for our portfolio companies and our investment strategies and adversely
affect the profitability of our portfolio companies.
We are subject to substantial litigation risks, including allegations of employee misconduct or fraud (including at our portfolio companies), and may face significant liabilities and damage
to our professional reputation as a result of such allegations and negative publicity.
Changes in U.S. and foreign tax regulations, including the comprehensive U.S. federal income tax reform that became effective in 2018, could adversely affect us and our ability to raise
funds from certain foreign investors.
