 Under his leadership, we have strategically repositioned our asset classes and thoughtfully de-risked our portfolio; reduced operating expenses by increasing the proportion of assets managed internally; and delivered continuously strong fund performance, especially

 he’s been offered such a spectacular professional opportunity and we wish him well as he returns to his home state to take on this new and exciting challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
