Our business and operations are subject to adverse effects from the outbreak and spread of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19, and such adverse effects may continue. The outbreak and spread of COVID-19, a highly transmissible and pathogenic disease, resulted in a widespread national and global public health crisis and created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption.
Added
Initiatives to upgrade our information technology systems and business processes involve many risks, and our failure to execute these upgrades successfully could have an adverse impact on our business. From time to time, we undertake significant projects to upgrade our information technology systems and business processes intended to optimize our operational and financial performance.
Removed
In addition, although we maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to terms and conditions, cover certain aspects of cyber and information security risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses, such as litigation costs or financial losses that exceed our policy limits or are not covered under any of our current insurance policies.
Added
Transitioning to these new or upgraded systems and processes may require significant capital investments and personnel resources. These projects may be subject to cost overruns and delays, and the transition to these new or upgraded systems and processes may cause disruptions in our daily business operations.
Removed
We depend on third-party service providers and other key vendors for various fund administration, accounting, custody, risk analytics, market data, market indices and transfer agent roles, and other distribution and operational needs.
Added
There is also no guarantee that we will realize the anticipated synergies and benefits related to these initiatives. Any material disruptions in our information technology systems or business processes could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Removed
Risks associated with legal liability often are difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. Among other things, such matters may result in substantial fines, censure, legal damages, suspension of personnel, revocation of licenses and reputational damage, which may reduce our sales and increase redemptions.
Added
In addition, volatility in global financial and capital markets may also affect our ability to access the capital markets in a timely manner.
Removed
In the U.S., government agencies like the SEC have proposed or adopted several new regulations that have increased our regulatory burdens and related compliance costs.
Added
In addition, there remains uncertainty about the ultimate impact of recent changes to the leadership within the U.S. government under the current administration, including changes to policy or priorities that could impact the current regulatory landscape. The EU has promulgated or is considering various new or revised legislation pertaining to financial services firms, including investment managers.
Removed
The UK’s withdrawal from the EU occurred on January 31, 2020, and following a transition period, the UK and the EU agreed to a Trade and Cooperation Agreement on December 24, 2020 (“TCA”), which governs the UK’s relationship with the EU.
Added
Regulators may impose increased capital requirements on our subsidiaries, which could negatively impact our ability to return capital or pay dividends to our shareholders and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Regulators typically have broad discretion to impose increased regulatory capital requirements on the regulated entities within their jurisdiction.
Removed
While the TCA regulates a number of important areas, significant parts of the UK economy are not addressed in detail, including the services sector, which represents the largest component of the UK economy. A number of issues have been the subject of further bilateral negotiations.
Removed
One of the subjects of these negotiations has been a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) between the EU and UK covering financial services, which was signed on June 27, 2023. The MoU established a cooperative framework, focusing on shared objectives and creating a forum for official market dialogue, rather than a roadmap to restore pre-Brexit mutual freedoms.
Removed
The new relationship between the UK and the EU remains uncertain and could in the short term, and possibly for longer, cause disruptions to, and create uncertainty in, the UK and European economies; prejudice to financial services businesses such as ours that are conducting business in the EU and that are based in the UK; legal uncertainty regarding achievement of compliance with applicable financial and commercial laws and regulations; and the unavailability of timely information as to expected legal, tax and other regimes.
Removed
A failure to reach an agreement for a sustainable and practical financial services regulatory relationship between the UK and the EU, whether on the basis of equivalence, mutual recognition or otherwise, could harm our operations and returns.
Removed
To date, neither the EU nor UK have granted one another meaningful forms of market access, leaving financial services firms wishing to service either market to set up local operations with suitable regulatory licenses or to operate under exemptions from licensing requirements.
Removed
Accordingly, and notwithstanding steps we took prior to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and the end of the Transition Period, we may incur additional costs due to having to relocate or augment activities within the EU and carry out any related restructuring, as well as incur additional costs to address potential new impediments to conducting EU business.
Removed
These and related issues, or a decline in trade between the UK and the EU, could affect the attractiveness of the UK as a global investment center and could have a detrimental impact on UK economic growth.
Removed
Although we have a diverse international customer base, our results could be adversely affected by the market impacts of reduced UK economic growth and greater volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Removed
The full effects of Brexit remain uncertain, and Brexit may result in divergent laws, regulations and licensing requirements for any operations we conduct or may conduct in the UK or EU in the future.
Removed
Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. ​ We may not effectively manage risks associated with the replacement of benchmark indices.
Removed
The withdrawal and replacement of widely used benchmark indices, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with alternative benchmark rates introduce a number of risks for our business, our clients and the financial services industry more widely.
Removed
These risks include: ● Legal implementation risks, as extensive changes to documentation for new and existing clients and transactions may be required; ● Financial risks, arising from any changes in the valuation of financial instruments linked to benchmark indices; ● Pricing risks, as changes to benchmark indices could impact pricing mechanisms on some instruments; ● Operational risks, due to the potential requirement to adapt information technology systems, trade reporting infrastructure and operational processes; and ● Conduct risks, relating to communications with a potential impact on customers and engagement with customers during the transition away from benchmark indices such as LIBOR. 20 Table of Contents The publication of non-USD LIBOR and one-week and two-month USD LIBOR ceased after December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR tenors ceased after June 30, 2023.
Removed
As a result of LIBOR’s phase-out, our credit facility was amended to incorporate the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the successor rate to USD LIBOR and the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) as the successor rate to GBP LIBOR. There are significant differences between how LIBOR and SOFR or SONIA are calculated, which could result in increased borrowing costs.
Removed
It is not currently possible to determine precisely to what extent the withdrawal and replacement of LIBOR will affect us. However, the replacement of LIBOR with alternative benchmark rates may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We may be subject to claims of lack of suitability.
Removed
In addition, changes to tax laws or income tax rates could materially impact our tax provision, cash tax liability, deferred income tax balances and effective tax rate.
