1. Refer to footnote (1) to your pay versus performance table. Please note that, for outstanding stock
awards and option awards, the calculations required by Item 402(v)(2)(iii)(C)(1) of Regulation S-K should be determined based on the change
in fair value from the end of the prior fiscal year. The fair value of these awards should not be determined based on other dates, such
as the date of your initial public offering. Please ensure that you make your Regulation S-K Item 402(v)(2)(iii)(C)(1) calculations starting
with the end of your prior fiscal year. See Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation Questions 128D.14 and 128D.15 for
guidance.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and hereby advises the Staff that the Company will make its Regulation S-K Item 402(v)(2)(iii)(C)(1)
calculations with respect to each covered fiscal year starting with the end of its prior fiscal year in its future filings that include
Regulation S-K Item 402(v) disclosure.

2. We note that your peer group is the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index. If your Regulation
S-K Item 402(v)(2)(iv) peer group is an index, it should be the published industry or line-of-business index used under Regulation S-K
Item 201(e)(1)(ii), and not a broad market index. In future filings, please ensure that your peer group is either a published industry
or line-of-business index or, if applicable, the companies used in the compensation discussion and analysis under Regulation S-K Item
402(b). We note in this regard your use of the Dow Jones U.S. Asset Manager Index in your stock performance graph reported pursuant to
Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and hereby advises the Staff that the Company will use as its Regulation S-K Item 402(v)
peer group a peer group that is either a published industry or line-of-business index used under Regulation S-K Item 201(e)(1)(ii) or,
if applicable, the companies used in the compensation discussion and analysis under Regulation S-K Item 402(b) in its future filings that
include Regulation S-K Item 402(v) disclosure.
3. It appears that you have not provided the relationship disclosures required by Regulation S-K Item
402(v)(5). Please provide this required disclosure in its entirety. Although you may provide this information graphically, narratively,
or a combination of the two, this disclosure must be separate from the pay versus performance table required by Regulation S-K Item 402(v)(1)
and must provide a clear description of each separate relationship indicated in Regulation S-K Item 402(v)(5)(i)-(iv). Please note, it
is not sufficient to state that no relationship exists, even if a particular measure is not used in setting compensation.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and hereby advises the Staff that the Company will include the relationship disclosure
pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 402(v)(5) in its future filings that include Regulation S-K Item 402(v) disclosure.
