 of this annual report, our significant subsidiaries and Consolidated Affiliated Entities had obtained all material licenses, approvals and permits necessary from competent regulatory authorities for our business operations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We renew all such permits and licenses from time to time to comply with the relevant laws and regulations. As of the date of this annual report, we were not aware of any facts that would prevent us from renewing permits or licenses material to our group.
Some of our clients may redeem their investments from time to time, which could reduce our recurring service fees.
Certain of the agreements we entered into with investors in relation to investment products distributed to them permit investors to redeem their investments with us at quarterly or annual intervals, after an initial “lock-up” period during which redemptions are restricted or penalized. If the return on the assets under our management does not meet investors’ expectations, investors may elect to redeem their investments and invest their assets elsewhere. As our recurring service fees correlate directly with the amount of our AUM, redemptions may cause our expected recurring service fees to decrease. Similarly, the total balance of investment products offered or distributed by us to our clients could decrease due to redemptions as well and impact our fees from investment products. Investors may decide to reallocate their capital away from us for a number of reasons, including less satisfactory investment performance, changes in prevailing interest rates which make other investment options more attractive, changes in investor perception regarding our focus or alignment of interest, dissatisfaction with, changes in or a broadening of a fund’s investment strategy, changes in our reputation, and departures of, or changes in responsibilities of, key investment professionals. For these and other reasons, the pace of investor redemptions and the corresponding reduction in our AUM and total balance of investment products offered or distributed by us could accelerate. In addition, investor sentiment in stock market may be adversely affected during periods when capital markets are volatile, especially after our transformation to NAV-based products, which may result in decreases in the transaction value of mutual fund products and private secondary products as well as increases in investor redemptions. This may also lead to a flight-to-safety and a change in product mix, causing fluctuations in our fees from investment products. Furthermore, redemptions of the investment products that we manage could ultimately require us to liquidate fund assets under unfavorable circumstances, which may further harm our reputation and results of operations.
Our business is subject to risks related to complaints, claims, controversies, regulatory actions, arbitration and legal proceedings.
