Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- Our results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.
- We expect to continue to experience a general rise in compensation and benefits expense commensurate with expected growth in headcount and with the need to maintain competitive compensation levels as we expand geographically and create new products and services.
- Fee related performance revenues (“FRPR”) are incentive fees expected to be measured and received from certain of our funds on a recurring basis and are not dependent on realization events of the fund’s underlying investments.
- When considering the data presented below, note that the historical results of our specialized funds are not indicative of the future results you should expect from such investments, from any future investment funds we may raise or from an investment in our Class A common stock, in part because:
- • in recent years, there has been increased competition for investment opportunities resulting from the increased amount of capital invested in private markets alternatives and high liquidity in debt markets, and the increased competition for investments may reduce our returns in the future;
- We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital requirements through our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents and our ability to obtain future external financing.
- We will also continue to evaluate opportunities, based on market conditions, to access the capital markets for working capital or to use proceeds from sales of our Class A common stock to settle in cash exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement.
- We will also continue to evaluate opportunities to make strategic investments in companies that seek to offer technology-driven private markets data and wealth management solutions.
- We expect to continue to use our balance sheet to support the launch and growth of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts.
- We generally expect capital we provide through loans to be returned as third-party capital is raised, and we believe the likelihood of material funding under the guarantees would be remote.
- However, the timing of any return is uncertain, and we may hold these positions longer than anticipated.
- The Stock Repurchase Program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended or terminated by us at any time.
