Our performance and the performance of our Private Equity Group funds are significantly impacted by the value of the companies in which our funds have invested. Our funds invest in companies in many different industries, each of which is subject to volatility based upon a variety of factors, including economic, market, and geopolitical factors. During recessions, periods of elevated uncertainty, or phases of challenging economic and market conditions, we experience significant fluctuations in the fair value of securities held by our funds. Further, geopolitical and domestic political uncertainty, unexpected shifts in monetary and fiscal policy, changes in interest rates, depressed labor force participation, the risk of labor shortages in the face of more restrictive immigration policies, supply chain pressures and other general economic trends may impact the performance of our portfolio companies in many industries and geographies. In addition, the value of our investments in portfolio companies in the financial services industry is impacted by the overall health and stability of the credit and equity markets. The performance of our Private Equity Group funds, and our performance, may be adversely affected to the extent our fund portfolio companies experience adverse performance or additional pressure. In addition, the performance of our investment funds and our portfolio companies may be adversely affected by increases in inflationary pressures such as employee wage growth or rising input costs, which could compress profit margins, particularly at our portfolio companies that are unable to effectively increase prices in response. Rapid and unforeseen technological transformation, such as the recent technological developments with respect to artificial intelligence, may introduce the risk of obsolescence to portfolio companies and negatively affect their performance. In response to financial difficulties that are currently being experienced or that may be experienced in the future by certain portfolio companies, we may consider legal, regulatory, tax, or other factors in determining the steps we may take to support such companies or investments, which may include enhancing the management team or funding additional capital investments from our funds, our investment professionals, and/or us. The actions we may take to support companies or investments experiencing financial difficulties may not be successful in remedying the financial difficulties and our investment funds, our investment professionals, or we may not recoup some or all of any capital investments made in support of such companies or investments.
