Market Trends and Business Environment

Revenues from our Wealth & Capital Solutions and International Real Estate segments are predominantly derived from asset based management, performance or incentive fees; distributions from investments; and other income or fees. Each revenue source is affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions, particularly in the U.S. and to a lesser extent in Europe and Asia. Management fees are generally calculated based on a percentage of the value of billable AUM or AUA (as applicable), while incentive fees are driven by the underlying performance of managed portfolios. In 2024, overall, economic conditions were strong in the US as the U.S. economy seems to have engineered a soft landing; this in combination with strong gains from leading U.S. technology shares on the back of investor enthusiasm around Generative AI led U.S. shares higher, with double digit gains for the second year in a row.

As a wealth and investment business, our clients have had exposure to financial markets, particularly the U.S. market, where our positioning has benefited from the more than 20% gains over the year. Uncertainty has also risen and our positioning for some clients in asset classes such as gold and absolute return hedge strategies have also been additive. Robust credit conditions and strong demand for infrastructure have fuelled solid returns for our private credit and infrastructure focused managers.

In contrast, investors remain cautious on the outlook for fiscal sustainability in the U.S. and this in concert with lingering concerns around the outlook for inflation, particularly in the U.S., led to rising longer dated Government bond yields in 2024. While we are generally under-weighted for clients in duration, Government bonds in general delivered slightly negative returns for the year. Markets outside the U.S. and outside of U.S. large cap also trailed in performance on a relative basis; while we have more limited exposure, these areas were relative headwinds to performance.

Despite the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates in 2024, the higher cost of capital environment, ongoing increases in construction costs and generally stagnating real estate prices are negatively impacting some of the real estate segments in which we operate. These declines impact the level of management fees that we earn. On the private real estate side within the International Real Estate segment, the more difficult market and interest rate conditions may reduce the ultimate return expected from some of these investments. It is important to note that these assets are utilized in conjunction with longer-term investment strategies and are not subject to daily market pricing.
