Market Conditions
Current report
We continue to monitor the rapidly changing global financial, political and economic environment, while actively managing the Company’s businesses, investment portfolios and liquidity needs in light of current trends and uncertainties.
Current report
In the first quarter of 2025, significant tariffs were announced on major U.S. trading partners, who have in turn responded with retaliatory actions. While many of these tariffs have been put on hold, there is significant uncertainty about the future direction of trade policies between the U.S. and its partners. This in turn has led to a significant increase in volatility across financial markets and has created more uncertainty in the economic outlook. We describe how such macroeconomic developments, risks, and uncertainties may impact the Company in Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A, and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our Wealth Solutions segment earns revenue from a diverse and complementary business mix, primarily fee income from asset based and participant based administrative, recordkeeping and advisory fees as well as investment income on our general account assets and other funds. Because a significant portion of our revenues are tied to account values, our profitability is determined in part by the amount of assets we have under management, administration or advisement, which in turn depends on sales volumes to new and existing clients, net deposits from retirement plan participants, and changes in the market value of account assets. Our profitability also depends on the difference between the investment income we earn on our general account assets, or our portfolio yield, and crediting rates on client accounts.
