⁽¹⁾ The Company revised its investment mandate reporting categories to classify benchmark-based fixed income separate accounts (formerly classified as fixed income) as Parametric custom portfolios (formerly “portfolio implementation”), which now consists of equity, fixed income and multi-asset separate accounts managed by Parametric for which customization is a primary feature. Management fees totaling $9.0 million have been reclassified from fixed income to Parametric custom portfolios for the three months ended January 31, 2019. The reclassification does not affect the amount of total management fees in the prior period.⁽²⁾  In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, this investment mandate reporting category was renamed Parametric overlay services (formerly “exposure management”). The name change does not affect the amount of management fees for the category in the prior period.
