FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

From time to time, we make statements (including some contained in this Report) that predict or forecast future events, depend on future events for their accuracy, embody projections or assumptions or that otherwise contain “forward-looking information.” These statements may relate to anticipated changes in revenues or earnings per share, anticipated changes in our businesses or in the amount of client assets under management, anticipated expense levels or expectations regarding financial market conditions.

 

We caution readers that any forward-looking information provided by us is not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results may differ materially as a result of various factors, some of which are outside of our control. Included among these factors are those discussed in “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation –Overview,” “-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and “- Market Risk” and those discussed in our periodic reports filed with and available from the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligations to update them to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date on which they were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
