 executive officers’ emphasis on attracting, retaining and developing key professionals;

• our named executive officers’ continued commitment to the four pillars of our diversity and inclusion strategy: education, leadership, recruitment and engagement; and

• our named executive officers’ individual contributions and collaboration in further developing the company’s private real estate business.

In making fiscal 2024 pay decisions, the Compensation Committee focused on:

• our strong investment performance as measured against our benchmarks;

• our strong 2024 financial results;

• our progress on multiple strategic objectives; and

• our need to retain our named executive officers by providing competitive levels of total compensation.

Taken together, these considerations resulted in the Compensation Committee increasing or maintaining our named executive officers’ fiscal 2024 total compensation levels versus fiscal 2023.

• expanded our investment products and strategies and our internal capabilities to capitalize on new and emerging market opportunities.

Based on the company-wide performance factors, the individual contributions and accomplishments described above and competitive pay trends, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Harvey’s total compensation for fiscal 2024 by 30.0% relative to his fiscal 2023 total compensation, restoring it to the same level that was earned during fiscal 2022.
