OVERALL SCORE: 3.5/10

Context and risks

The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) makes financing investments in private equity more expensive and reduces the present value of future cash flows for an alternative asset manager with long duration. Additionally, falling gold prices and pressure in energy could affect the performance of its natural resources funds.
