7 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Feb 19, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Feb 20, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 75 Financials companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.
Our success relies on attracting, engaging and retaining top talent in an increasingly competitive market. While the job market has cooled in some industries, financial services remains exceptionally competitive for the best talent. We actively manage retention risks and invest in our people to sustain our position as an employer of choice. To expand access to top talent, we have strategically broadened our footprint, ensuring we have the right capabilities in place to support long-term growth.
A robust advisor network underpins our wealth management growth, requiring focused recruitment, retention, and succession planning as demographics shift. In asset management, delivering strong performance and sustaining client relationships depends on the strategic decisions of our portfolio managers and analysts.
Regulatory changes and industry trends can alter competitive dynamics or adversely affect our business. Loss of employees or advisors without succession plans increases the risk of client attrition. Prolonged challenges in attracting and retaining talent, or significant increases in related costs, could materially impact our financial performance.
