access to funding. We factor in historical and current multiples from the company's, and peers',

when establishing our target price multiples. For some names where dividend returns are a

key component of the investment thesis, we apply a dividend yield spread based on expected

dividend income (base and special) and interest rates.

Diversified Financials

Our valuation methodology is primarily based on 4QF multiple on EPS or EBITDA. We apply

multiples based on our expectations for organic revenue and earnings growth, capital returns,

access to funding, and execution against guidance. We factor in historical and current
