Investment Performance as of December 31, 2022

_________________________

(1)    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of withholding taxes, where applicable.

Reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Results

Management believes that use of the following as adjusted (non-GAAP) financial results provides greater transparency into the company's operating performance. In addition, these as adjusted financial results are used to prepare the company's internal management reports, which are used in evaluating its business.

While management believes that these as adjusted financial results are useful in evaluating operating performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
