ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Company

Adverse economic and market conditions and other events or conditions throughout the world could negatively impact our 

business in many ways, including by reducing the value or performance of the investments made by our investment funds 

and reducing the ability of our investment funds to raise capital, any of which could materially reduce our revenue, 

earnings, and cash flow and adversely affect our financial prospects and condition.

Our business and the businesses of the companies in which we invest are materially affected by conditions in the 

global financial markets, and economic conditions or other events throughout the world that are outside of our control, 

including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, availability and cost of credit, inflation rates, availability and cost of 

energy, economic uncertainty, slowdown in global growth, changes in laws (including laws relating to taxation and regulations 

on the financial industry), disease, pandemics or other severe public health events, trade barriers, tariffs, commodity prices, 

currency exchange rates and controls, national and international political circumstances (including government contract 

terminations or funding pauses, government agency closures, government shutdowns, wars, terrorist acts, or security 

operations), geopolitical tensions and instability, social unrest, supply chain pressures, and the effects of climate change. Over 

the last several years, markets have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, significant increases in U.S. interest rates, 

inflationary pressures, sharp currency moves, heightened geopolitical tensions (including those between the United States and 

China, Taiwan and China, Israel and Iran and the Axis of Resistance, and between Ukraine and Russia), the imposition of 

export controls, tariffs, and trade barriers, the imposition of economic and political sanctions (upon specific individuals or 

companies and country, industry, and sector-wide restrictions), ongoing trade negotiations with major U.S. trading partners, and 

changes in U.S. tax regulations. Moreover, our investment funds focused on Asia, and portfolio companies within non-Asia 

investment funds with significant operations or connectivity and reliance on Asia companies, and listed securities or debt 

instruments of companies or industries, could be impacted by any disruptions to the global supply chain that may result from 

escalating tensions, disputes, or potential conflicts in the region surrounding the Taiwan Strait. The resulting actions taken, the 

response of the international community, and other factors affecting trade with China or political or economic conditions in 

Taiwan could disrupt the manufacture of several business critical products or hardware components,
