Payments to participants in the unfunded German plans are expected to be between $21.8 million (€16.5 million) to $23.2 million (€17.5 million) in each of the years 2011 through 2015 and a total of $102.7 million (€77.5 million) for the years 2016 through 2020.
For the U. S.  pension plans in 2011, we changed our return on asset assumption to 8.00 percent (from 8.25 percent in 2010) and our discount rate assumption to an average of 5.55 percent (from 6.00 percent in 2010).
Based on the changes in assumptions, pension expense in 2011 is anticipated to be relatively flat compared to 2010.
A reduction of the expected return on pension assets assumption by a quarter of a percentage point would result in an estimated $2.9 million increase in the 2011 global pension expense, while a quarter of a percentage point reduction in the discount rate applied to the pension liability would result in an estimated $3.5 million of additional pension expense in 2011.
Additional information regarding the company¡¯s pension plans is provided in Note 14 accompanying the consolidated financial statements within Item 8 of this report.

RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS Defined Contribution Plans The company operates defined contribution retirement benefit plans for all qualifying employees.
The assets of the plans are held separately from those of the company in funds under the control of trustees.
When employees leave the plans prior to vesting fully in the contributions, the contributions payable by the company are reduced by the amount of forfeited contributions.
The total amounts charged to the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2011, of $53.2 million (December 31, 2010: $47.0 million, 2009: $43.6 million) represent contributions paid or payable to these plans by the company at rates specified in the rules of the plans.
As of December 31, 2011, accrued contributions of $20.0 million (December 31, 2010: $18.9 million) for the current year will be paid to the plans.
Defined Benefit Plans The company maintains legacy defined benefit pension plans for qualifying employees of its subsidiaries in the U. K. , Ireland, Germany and Taiwan.
All defined benefit plans are closed to new participants.
The company also maintains a postretirement medical plan in the U. S. , which was closed to new participants in 2005.
In 2006, the plan was amended to eliminate benefits for all participants who will not meet retirement eligibility by 2008.
The assets of all defined benefit schemes are held in separate trustee-administered funds.
Under the plans, the employees are generally entitled to retirement benefits based on final salary at retirement.
The most recent actuarial valuations of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were valued as of December 31, 2011.
The benefit obligation, related current service cost and prior service cost were measured using the projected unit credit method.

(1) The Before Consolidation column includes Invesco's equity interests in the investment products accounted for as equity method (private equity and real estate partnership funds) and available-for-sale investments (CLOs).
Upon consolidation of the CLOs, the company's and the CLOs' accounting policies are effectively aligned, resulting in the reclassification of the company's gain for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $20.3 million (representing the increase in the market value of the company's holding in the consolidated CLOs) from other comprehensive income into other gains/losses (year ended December 31, 2010: $6.4 million).
The company's gain on its investment in the CLOs (before consolidation) eliminates with the company's share of the offsetting loss on the CLOs' debt.
The net income arising from consolidation of CLOs is therefore completely attributed to other investors in these CLOs, as the company's share has been eliminated through consolidation.
The Before Consolidation column does not include any other adjustments related to non-GAAPfinancial measure presentation.
(2) Adjustments include the elimination of intercompany transactions between the company and its consolidated investment products, primarily the elimination of management fees expensed by the funds and recorded as operating revenues (before consolidation) by the company.

Net revenues increased by 15.0% in in the year ended December 31, 2011 to $2,898.4 million (year ended December 31, 2010: $2,521.1 million).

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk In the normal course of its business, the company is primarily exposed to market risk in the form of securities market risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk.
AUM Market Price Risk The company's investment management revenues are comprised of fees based on a percentage of the value of AUM.
Declines in equity or fixed income security market prices could cause revenues to decline because of lower investment management fees by: ?
Causing the value of AUM to decrease.  ?
Causing the returns realized on AUM to decrease (impacting performance fees).  ?
Causing clients to withdraw funds in favor of investments in markets that they perceive to offer greater opportunity and that the company does not serve.  ?
Causing clients to rebalance assets away from investments that the company manages into investments that the company does not manage.  ?
Causing clients to reallocate assets away from products that earn higher revenues into products that earn lower revenues.
Underperformance of client accounts relative to competing products could exacerbate these factors.
Securities Market Risk The company has investments in sponsored investment products that invest in a variety of asset classes.
Investments are generally made to establish a track record or to hedge economically exposure to certain deferred compensation plans.
The company's exposure to market risk arises from its investments.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the investments exposed to market risk and provides a sensitivity analysis of the estimated fair values of those investments, assuming a 20% increase or decrease in fair values:

Question: What's the increasing rate of Total operating revenues in 2011?

Solution:
def solution():
    # Define variables name and value
    total_operating_revenues_2011 = 4092.2
    total_operating_revenues_2010 = 3487.7
    
    # Do math calculation to get the answer
    difference = total_operating_revenues_2011 - total_operating_revenues_2010
    increasing_rate = (difference / total_operating_revenues_2010) * 100
    
    return increasing_rate
