RISK FACTORS
Certain statements in this presentation are based on current management expectations; and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the Risk Factors section of
our Annual Report and other SEC filings, including without limitation:
Our business could be negatively impacted in many ways by adverse economic and market conditions or changes in the debt financing markets, including by reducing the value or
performance of investments made by our investment funds and reducing the ability of our funds to raise capital or obtain attractive financing or re-financing.
The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economies and may continue to adversely impact, our performance and
results of operations.
Our use of leverage may expose us to substantial risks and our revenue, earnings and cash flow are variable, which makes it difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a
quarterly basis.
We may not be successful in expanding into new investment strategies, markets and businesses, including business initiatives to increase the number and type of investment products we
offer to retail investors
We may reduce our AUM, restrain its growth, reduce our fees or otherwise alter the terms under which we do business when we deem it in the best interest of our investors, even when
such actions may be contrary to the near term interests of stockholders
Poor performance of our investment funds would cause a decline in our revenue, income and cash flow, may obligate us to repay carried interest previously paid to us, and could
adversely affect our ability to raise capital. Our asset management business depends in large part on our ability to raise capital from third-party investors.
Our investors may negotiate to pay us lower management fees and the economic terms of our future funds may be less favorable to us than those of our existing funds, which could
adversely affect our revenues.
Valuation methodologies for certain assets in our funds can involve subjective judgments, and the fair value of assets established pursuant to such methodologies may be incorrect,
which could result in the misstatement of fund performance and accrued performance allocations. Historical returns attributable to our funds should not be considered as indicative of
the future results.
Dependence on significant leverage in investments by our funds could adversely affect our ability to achieve attractive rates of return on those investments.
The alternative asset management business is intensely competitive and we often pursue investment opportunities that involve business, regulatory, legal or other complexities and
relatively high-risk, illiquid assets.
The investments of our Global Private Equity, Global Credit and Investment Solutions funds are subject to a number of inherent risks.
We may need to pay "giveback" obligations if they are triggered under the governing agreements with our investors.
