In the ordinary course of business, the firm may choose to provide voluntary financial support to funds, although any such support is not expected to be material to the results of operations of the firm. The firm has waived or deferred collection of management fees and has deferred reimbursement of expenses, and in the future may waive or defer collection of management fees, from select funds. The impact of these voluntary waivers and deferrals to the firm’s results of operations was $188 million for 2025 and was not material for both 2024 and 2023. Except as noted above, the firm did not provide any additional voluntary financial support to its affiliated funds during each of 2025, 2024 and 2023.
In addition, in the ordinary course of business and subject to applicable regulatory requirements, the firm may also engage in other activities with its affiliated funds, including, among others, securities lending, trade execution, market-making, custody and warehousing. See Note 18 for information about the firm’s investment commitments related to these funds.
