The remainder was received in other currencies.

As of May 31, 2016, approximately 3% of the Company’s total long-term AUM had Country Exposure to the United Kingdom and approximately 5% had Country Exposure to the Eurozone. Fixed income assets comprised approximately 75% of each of these Country Exposures.

As of May 31, 2016, the percentage of the Company’s long-term AUM with Currency Exposure to the GBP and Euro was approximately 2% each. Fixed income assets comprised approximately 75% of the Currency Exposure to the GBP and 65% of the Currency Exposure to the Euro.

For these purposes, AUM with “Country Exposure” primarily consists of AUM invested in securities issued by entities domiciled in the United Kingdom or Eurozone, as applicable. AUM with “Currency Exposure” consists of AUM invested in securities that are denominated in the GBP or Euro, as applicable.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
