Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On June 30, 2011, Duff & Phelps Corporation (the “Company”) issued an aggregate of 205,357 shares of Class A common stock to the sellers of the partnership interests of Growth Capital Partners L.P. (“GCP”), in connection with the acquisition of all of the partnership interests of GCP by subsidiaries of the Company.  The shares issued were one component of the consideration paid to the sellers of the partnership interests of GCP in connection with the acquisition. The issuance of these shares of Class A common stock was made without a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) because the shares of Class A common stock were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company regarding the acquisition is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this report as if fully set forth herein.
