___________________________
(1)Calculated by comparing the relative fair value of a security or an obligation to its respective total.
(2)Represents growth rates of asset- and performance-based fees.
Investments in debt securities represent the fair value of investments in consolidated Affiliate-sponsored investment
products.  When using cost as the valuation technique, increases to recent transaction prices would result in higher fair values. 
When using a discounted cash flow valuation technique, increases to the discount rates used would result in lower fair values.
Contingent payment obligations represent the fair value of the expected future settlement amounts related to the
Company’s investments in its consolidated Affiliates.  Changes to assumed volatility and discount rates change the fair value of
contingent payment obligations.  Increases to the volatility rates used would result in higher fair values, while increases to the
discount rates used would result in lower fair values.
Affiliate equity purchase obligations include agreements to purchase Affiliate equity and represent the fair value of the
expected future settlement amounts.  When using a discounted cash flow valuation technique, increases to the assumed growth
rates used would result in higher fair values, while increases to the discount rates used would result in lower fair values.  When
using a Monte Carlo valuation technique, changes to assumed volatility and discount rates change the fair value of Affiliate
equity purchase obligations.  Increases to the volatility rates used would result in higher fair values, while increases to the
discount rates used would result in lower fair values.

The carrying amount of Cash and cash equivalents, Receivables, Payables and accrued liabilities, and certain Other
liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The carrying value of the revolver (as
defined in Note 6) approximates fair value because the revolver has variable interest based on selected short-term rates.
