Total assets under management ("AUM") were $770.9 billion at September 30, 2015, down $95.6 billion or 11% during the quarter primarily due to $61.2 billion of market depreciation, $28.6 billion of net new outflows, and a $4.6 billion decrease from foreign exchange revaluation.

The foreign exchange revaluations are related to AUM in products that are not U.S. dollar denominated, which represents approximately 13% of total AUM, and primarily resulted from fluctuation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar for the quarter and fiscal year, as well as the Euro for the fiscal year.
