Second Quarter 2007 Review
Forward-Looking Statements
In light of Regulation FD, management will be limited in responding to inquiries from investors or analysts in a non-public forum.
Introduction
    Certain statements in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These 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 regulations and rates and the manner in which the earnings of publicly traded partnerships are taxed. We caution readers to carefully consider our forward-looking statements in light of these factors. Further, these forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made; we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. 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, 2006.  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. Of course, factors other than those listed in “Risk Factors” could also adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, results of operations, and business prospects.

    The forward-looking statements we make in this presentation include estimated earnings guidance and related assumptionsbprovided for full year 2007.  The earnings guidance is based on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following:  net inflows of client assets under management continuing at levels similar to recent rates, and equity and fixed income market returns at annual rates of 8% and 5%, respectively, for the balance of the year. Net inflows of client assets are subject to domestic and international securities market conditions, competitive factors, and relative performance, each of which may have a negative effect on net inflows; capital market performance is inherently unpredictable. Our expectation that the fourth quarter will account for a disproportionate share of total earnings is based on the relative amount of assets under management subject to performance fees that are calculated at the end of fourth quarter. In view of these factors, and particularly given the volatility of capital markets (and the effect of such volatility on performance fees and the value of investments in respect of incentive compensation) and the difficulty of predicting client asset inflows and outflows, our earnings estimates should not be relied on as predictions of actual performance, but only as estimates based on assumptions that may or may not be correct. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet the investment and service goals and needs of our clients or that, even if we do, it will have a positive effect on the company’s financial performance.
