Revenue VolatilityA pronounced 44% revenue drop in 2025 highlights material top-line sensitivity to market moves and flows. Such volatility undermines predictability of earnings and planning, and can erode client confidence, fee income, and growth investments over a 2–6 month horizon and beyond.
AUM-dependent Fee ModelRevenue is structurally linked to AUM and performance fees, so prolonged market weakness or sustained client outflows will directly reduce recurring fees. This concentrated revenue mix creates persistent exposure to market cycles and client behavior, limiting revenue stability.
Earnings Sensitivity To Small Equity BaseVery high ROE partly reflects a smaller equity base, which magnifies earnings swings and can strain capital ratios if profitability weakens. That sensitivity reduces margin for error and could force capital actions under stress, constraining strategic flexibility over months.
