Data Quality Notes

Note: 'Operating Income (FRE Proxy)' approximates Fee-Related Earnings (FRE), the industry-standard non-GAAP metric for asset managers. True FRE excludes performance fees and carried interest, which are not separately disclosed in standard financial statements.
Note: Owner Pocket percentages are relative to Net Income (not FCF), as distributions are earnings-driven for asset management companies.
Warning: Payout Ratio is 191%, exceeding 100% of Net Income. Capital returns may not be fully covered by current earnings.
