    1Currency assets under management includes AUM associated with (i) active and passive currency risk management products, (ii) non-fx overlay strategies such as equitization and beta overlays, and (iii) alpha strategies. In all such cases, AUM is calculated based on notional value of currency investments. Additionally, AUM for alpha strategies is adjusted because clients can select a volatility target (generally between 2% and 12% annualized), which is normalized to 2% in order to create a consistent depiction of alpha strategy AUM. This results in a “scaled” AUM, which is higher than the actual aggregate notional value of all alpha strategy portfolios if clients have selected a volatility target higher than 2%.
