Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," or "potential" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control, and may cause the Company's actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, difficult market and political conditions, including those resulting from supply chain difficulties, inflation, higher interest rates, a general economic slowdown or a recession; our ability to raise capital from investors for our Company, our funds and the companies that we manage; the performance of our funds and investments relative to our expectations and the highly variable nature of our revenues, earnings and cash flow; our exposure to risks inherent in the ownership and operation of infrastructure and digital infrastructure assets, including our reliance on third-party suppliers to provide power, network connectivity and certain other services to our managed companies; our exposure to business risks in Europe, Asia, Latin America and other foreign markets; our ability to increase assets under management and expand our existing and new investment strategies while maintaining consistent standards and controls; our ability to appropriately manage conflicts of interest; our ability to expand into new investment strategies, geographic markets and businesses, including through acquisitions in the infrastructure and investment management industries; the impact of climate change and regulatory efforts associated with environmental, social and governance matters; our ability to maintain effective information and cybersecurity policies, procedures and capabilities and the impact of any cybersecurity incident affecting our systems or network or the system and network of any of our managed companies or service providers; the ability of our portfolio companies to attract and retain key customers and to provide reliable services without disruption; any litigation and contractual claims against us and our affiliates, including potential settlement and litigation of such claims; our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements, including securitizations, on favorable or comparable terms or at all; the general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate; the market value of our assets and effects of hedging instruments on our assets; the impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes, including those related to privacy and data protection and new Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules governing investment advisers; whether we will be able to utilize existing tax attributes to offset taxable income to the extent contemplated; our ability to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; changes in our board of directors or management team, and availability of qualified personnel; our ability to make or maintain distributions to our stockholders; our understanding of and ability to successfully navigate the competitive landscape in which we and our managed companies operate; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading "Risk Factors," as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company's subsequent periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All forward-looking statements reflect the Company's good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance. Additional information about these and other factors can be found in the Company's reports filed from time to time with the SEC.
The Company cautions investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation.
