Affiliate Flows and Unfunded Wins/Committed Uncalled Capital 1  Unfunded wins and committed uncalled capital were up from the prior quarter, primarily reflecting new wins at Western and Clearbridge. Our pipeline of new opportunities remains healthy across asset classes and strategies. 1 Realizations represent investment manager-driven distributions primarily related to the sale of assets. Realizations are specific to our alternative managers and do not include client-driven distributions (e.g. client requested redemptions, liquidations or asset transfers) 2 EnTrust Global reports total assets of $19.1B, which includes ending AUM, ending AUA, committed uncalled capital, and unfunded wins Affiliates ordered by contribution to annual pre-tax earnings less noncontrolling interest Page 4 Legg Mason ending AUM includes other entities not shown with ending AUM of $1.3B and LT Flows of $0.0B

See page 13 for more Page 9 information on the strategic restructuring.

Page 10 1 Net Revenue is equal to Adjusted Operating Revenues. See appendix for GAAP reconciliation

Anticipate costs of $20-$25 million in FY21, primarily related to occupancy saves.

Appendix – Strategy Performance For purposes of investment performance comparisons, strategies are an aggregation of discretionary portfolios (separate accounts, investment funds, and other products) into a single group that represents a particular investment objective. In the case of separate accounts, the investment performance of the account is based upon the performance of the strategy to which the account has been assigned. Each of our asset managers has its own specific guidelines for including portfolios in their strategies. For those managers which manage both separate accounts and investment funds in the same strategy, the performance comparison for all of the assets is based upon the performance of the separate account. Effective July 1, 2019, comparative benchmarks for certain strategies were added to measure relative performance where a stated benchmark was not previously provided. For comparative purposes, where applicable prior periods have been updated to reflect the relative returns using these comparative benchmarks. Approximately 88% of total AUM is included in strategy AUM as of March 31, 2020, although not all strategies have three, five, and ten year histories. Total strategy AUM includes liquidity assets. Certain assets are not included in reported performance comparisons. These include: accounts that are not managed in accordance with the guidelines outlined above; accounts in strategies not marketed to potential clients; accounts that have not yet been assigned to a strategy; and certain smaller products at some of our affiliates. Past performance is not indicative of future results. For AUM included in institutional and retail separate accounts and investment funds managed in the same strategy as separate accounts, performance comparisons are based on gross-of-fee performance. For investment funds which are not managed in a separate account format, performance comparisons are based on net-of-fee performance. Funds-of-hedge funds generally do not have specified benchmarks. For purposes of this comparison, performance of those products is net-of-fees, and is compared to the relevant HFRX index. These performance comparisons do not reflect the actual performance of any specific separate account or investment fund; individual separate account and investment fund performance may differ.
