The valuation of many of our financial instruments, and the determination of the amount of allowances and impairments taken on our investments, include methodologies, estimations and assumptions that are subject to differing interpretations or are inherently subjective and could result in changes to investment valuations that may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenues, earnings and income from our Investment Management business operations could be adversely affected if (i) the amount of our AUM is adversely impacted due to performance and (ii) the terms of our asset management agreements are significantly altered or the agreements are terminated, or if certain performance hurdles are not realized.

A decrease in the RBC ratio (as a result of a reduction in statutory surplus and/or increase in RBC requirements) of our insurance subsidiaries could result in increased scrutiny by insurance regulators and rating agencies and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition
