Key Issues

Bullish view

Record fundraising, higher fee-paying assets under management, and double-digit growth in fee-related earnings and realized income indicate that capital formation can continue expanding recurring earnings.

Bearish view

The quarter’s revenue missed expectations by 4.16%, showing that stronger fundraising and AUM do not necessarily translate into reported revenue at the pace investors expect.
