Thank you, Linsley, and thank you all for joining today's call. 2025 brought a third straight year of strong global market returns, though it remains a narrow market dominated by a handful of mega cap stocks and with riskier names, outperforming quality and value.

While this market growth served as a tailwind for our assets under management and investment advisory revenue, it was not an environment that was highly conducive to fundamental research, active management and long-term investing. But we did see some evidence of the market broadening in the fourth quarter, which would be a positive for fundamental research-driven active management. We closed the year with $1.78 trillion in assets under management, up over 10% from the start of the year despite $56.9 billion in net outflows.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์šด์šฉ์ž์‚ฐ๊ณผ ํˆฌ์ž์ž๋ฌธ ์ˆ˜์ต์— ์ˆœํ’์œผ๋กœ ์ž‘์šฉํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ํŽ€๋”๋ฉ˜ํ„ธ ๋ฆฌ์„œ์น˜, ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ์šด์šฉ, ์žฅ๊ธฐ ํˆฌ์ž์—๋Š” ๊ทธ๋‹ค์ง€ ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‚˜ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜๋Š” ์ผ๋ถ€ ์ฆ๊ฑฐ๋ฅผ ํ™•์ธํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํŽ€๋”๋ฉ˜ํ„ธ ๋ฆฌ์„œ์น˜ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์˜ ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ์šด์šฉ์— ๊ธ์ •์ ์ผ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 568์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ˆœ์œ ์ถœ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์—ฐ์ดˆ ๋Œ€๋น„ 10% ์ด์ƒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ 1์กฐ 7,800์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์šด์šฉ์ž์‚ฐ์œผ๋กœ ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ๋งˆ๊ฐํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Net outflows were concentrated in our equity and mutual fund business with $75 billion of net outflows from equity and on a vehicle basis, almost $64 billion from mutual funds in 2025. Importantly, we saw an increase in gross sales which were higher than 2024 and up over 40% from 2023. Offsetting these higher gross sales were redemptions that were greater than anticipated and were driven by performance shortfalls in certain strategies and from portfolio rebalancing due to elevated equity markets. We generated over $2 billion of free cash flow in 2025 and returned nearly $1.8 billion of cash to our stockholders.์ˆœ์œ ์ถœ์€ ์ฃผ์‹ํ˜• ๋ฐ ๋ฎค์ถ”์–ผํŽ€๋“œ ์‚ฌ์—…์— ์ง‘์ค‘๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2025๋…„์— ์ฃผ์‹ํ˜•์—์„œ 750์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ, ์šด์šฉ์ˆ˜๋‹จ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ๋ฎค์ถ”์–ผํŽ€๋“œ์—์„œ ๊ฑฐ์˜ 640์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ˆœ์œ ์ถœ์ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€ ์ด ํŒ๋งค์•ก์ด ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜์—ฌ 2024๋…„๋ณด๋‹ค ๋†’์•˜๊ณ  2023๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 40% ์ด์ƒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋†’์€ ์ด ํŒ๋งค์•ก์„ ์ƒ์‡„ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ํฐ ํ™˜๋งค์˜€์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํŠน์ • ์ „๋žต์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณผ ๋ถ€์ง„๊ณผ ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ ์ƒ์Šน์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค ๋ฆฌ๋ฐธ๋Ÿฐ์‹ฑ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2025๋…„์— 20์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ฃผ์ฃผ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์•ฝ 18์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ํ˜„๊ธˆ์„ ํ™˜์›ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We also extended our long history of increasing our regular dividend, marking our 39th consecutive year of increases since our IPO in 1986. We are building momentum across our strategic initiatives. I remain confident in our plan and our people, and I look forward to what's ahead. With that, I'll turn to investment performance. We are seeing improvement in the performance of several key strategies and continue to have strong long-term performance across a range of strategies and asset classes.

Several very strong quarters in 2020 that have been rolling off have been a recent drag on the 5-year performance numbers.

This was driven by a slightly lower weight to international equities than some peers and by security selection in some of the underlying portfolios, primarily in the second and third quarters of 2025. Across alternatives, performance for the quarter was generally strong amid a more discerning credit backdrop. Credit selection continued to be highly effective as it successfully avoided any exposure to widely publicized frauds or failures. Beyond investment performance, in 2025, we continue to make progress on our strategic initiatives.์ด๋Š” ์ผ๋ถ€ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ตญ์ œ ์ฃผ์‹์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋น„์ค‘์„ ์†Œํญ ๋‚ฎ๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ€์ ธ๊ฐ„ ๊ฒƒ๊ณผ 2025๋…„ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ์ดˆ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค ๋‚ด ์ข…๋ชฉ ์„ ์ •์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Œ€์ฒดํˆฌ์ž ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ๋ณด๋‹ค ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•œ ์‹ ์šฉ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ ์†์—์„œ๋„ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ ์šฉ ์ข…๋ชฉ ์„ ์ •์€ ๋„๋ฆฌ ์•Œ๋ ค์ง„ ์‚ฌ๊ธฐ๋‚˜ ๋ถ€์‹ค ์‚ฌ๋ก€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ต์Šคํฌ์ €๋ฅผ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ํšŒํ”ผํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ๋งค์šฐ ํšจ๊ณผ์ ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํˆฌ์ž ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์™ธ์—๋„, 2025๋…„์—๋Š” ์ „๋žต์  ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์—์„œ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ง„์ „์„ ์ด๋ฃจ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We established a strategic collaboration with Goldman Sachs to pursue opportunities in wealth and retirement through co-developed public private offerings and advice solutions. And in the fourth quarter, we launched the first co-branded model portfolios, including 4 portfolios that are now live on the GO Wealth platform and a fifth expected in the first half of 2026.

Additionally, we saw growth in the Canadian Target Date series we launched in 2024.

We also helped clients navigate change and achieve better outcomes with the breadth of retirement solutions, including the launch of our innovative social security analyzer tool. We grew our active ETF business with the recent launch of 2 new active core ETFs, one focused on the U.S. and one on international. These active core strategies combine quantitative and fundamental research for alpha generation, and we believe this approach will compete effectively with passive.

At the start of January 2026, we had the first close for a T. Rowe Price managed private equity fund. This strategy is a closed-end drawdown fund and seeks to create a portfolio of approximately 25 category-leading private companies. T.

Leveraging our collective strengths and capabilities, our partnership with FAB aims to deliver world-class investment solutions across public and private markets, tailored to meet the needs of investors throughout the Middle East. While we have had an institutional business in the Middle East for some time, this is our first strategic partnership in the region, and it reflects our commitment to growing and diversifying our business through innovative global partnerships.2025๋…„์— ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์€ 2026๋…„๊นŒ์ง€ ์ด์–ด์กŒ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ง€๋‚œ 1์›” First Abu Dhabi Bank์™€์˜ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ „๋žต์  ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ง‘๋‹จ์  ๊ฐ•์ ๊ณผ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜์—ฌ, FAB์™€์˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์€ ์ค‘๋™ ์ „์—ญ์˜ ํˆฌ์ž์ž๋“ค์˜ ๋‹ˆ์ฆˆ๋ฅผ ์ถฉ์กฑ์‹œํ‚ค๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋งž์ถคํ™”๋œ ๊ณต๋ชจ ๋ฐ ์‚ฌ๋ชจ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์นœ ์„ธ๊ณ„์  ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ํˆฌ์ž ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜ ์ œ๊ณต์„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋กœ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๋™ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ๊ธฐ๊ด€ํˆฌ์ž์ž ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์˜์œ„ํ•ด ์˜จ ์ง€ ์ƒ๋‹น ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚ฌ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด๋ฒˆ์ด ๋™ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ์˜ ์ฒซ ์ „๋žต์  ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์ด๋ฉฐ, ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ  ๋‹ค๊ฐํ™”ํ•˜๋ ค๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์˜์ง€๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This partnership and all the progress we made in 2025 is a reflection of our associates' steadfast commitment to our clients, and I want to thank each of them for their dedication. And now Jen will share an update on our financial results. Jen Dardis
CFO & Treasurer

Thank you, Rob, and hello, everyone. I'll review our financial results before opening the line for Q&A. Our adjusted diluted earnings per share for Q4 2025 was $2.44, bringing full year adjusted diluted EPS to $9.72, which is up 4.2% from 2024 on higher average AUM, investment advisory revenue and lower average share count. As previously reported, we had $25.5 billion in net outflows Q4, bringing the full year to $56.9 billion.

As Rob noted, in 2025, we experienced elevated redemptions from our legacy equity and mutual fund business. Despite these redemptions, strong equity market returns more than offset the net outflows and we ended the year with nearly $50 billion in additional equity assets under management. This trend where equity market appreciation has exceeded equity net outflows has been consistent over the past 3 years. We saw encouraging momentum and signs of strength this quarter. And in a few areas of our business, we ended the year with positive net flows. Fixed income and alternatives had positive net flows for the quarter and along with multi-asset, had positive net flows for the full year.๋กญ์ด ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด, 2025๋…„์—๋Š” ๋ ˆ๊ฑฐ์‹œ ์ฃผ์‹ํ˜• ๋ฐ ๋ฎค์ถ”์–ผ ํŽ€๋“œ ์‚ฌ์—…์—์„œ ํ™˜๋งค๊ฐ€ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ™˜๋งค์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์ด ์ˆœ์œ ์ถœ์„ ์ƒ์‡„ํ•˜๊ณ ๋„ ๋‚จ์•„ ์—ฐ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์ฃผ์‹ํ˜• ์šด์šฉ์ž์‚ฐ์ด ์•ฝ 500์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ถ”๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ ์ƒ์Šน๋ฅ ์ด ์ฃผ์‹ํ˜• ์ˆœ์œ ์ถœ์„ ์ดˆ๊ณผํ•˜๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ถ”์„ธ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ 3๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ฌ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ธ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€๊ณผ ๊ฐ•์„ธ ์‹ ํ˜ธ๋ฅผ ํ™•์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ผ๋ถ€ ์‚ฌ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์—ฐ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์ˆœ์œ ์ž…์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฑ„๊ถŒํ˜•๊ณผ ๋Œ€์ฒดํˆฌ์ž๋Š” ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ˆœ์œ ์ž…์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ฉ€ํ‹ฐ์—์…‹๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋„ ์ˆœ์œ ์ž…์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Fixed income has now delivered 8 consecutive quarters of positive net flows. And our Target Date franchise ended the year with net inflows of $5.2 billion. Our ETF business remains strong with $1.8 billion in net inflows during the quarter. This brings 2025 net inflows to nearly $10.5 billion. Within other investment vehicles for the full year, trust continued to see strong net inflows in the DC channel, and we saw positive net flows to SMAs. In 2025, strong equity markets lifted the growth of our average AUM, increasing our investment advisory fees, net revenues and diluted EPS over the prior year.์ฑ„๊ถŒ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ์ด์ œ 8๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์—ฐ์† ์ˆœ์œ ์ž…์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ ์‚ฌ์—…์€ ์—ฐ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€ 52์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ˆœ์œ ์ž…์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our Q4 adjusted net revenue of $1.9 billion raised our full year adjusted net revenue to nearly $7.4 billion, an increase of 2.8% from 2024. Our Q4 investment advisory revenue of $1.7 billion increased 2.3% from the prior quarter and 4.2% from Q4 2024, driven by higher average AUM and partially offset by a lower effective fee rate. Our full year investment advisory revenues of $6.6 billion were up 3.1% from the prior year. Our Q4 annualized effective fee rate, excluding performance-based fees, was 38.8 basis points, which is down from 39.1 basis points in Q3 2025. The decline in average effective fee rate continues to be driven by changes in our asset and vehicle mix.4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์กฐ์ • ์ˆœ์ˆ˜์ต์€ 19์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์กฐ์ • ์ˆœ์ˆ˜์ต์€ 74์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์— ์œก๋ฐ•ํ•˜์—ฌ 2024๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 2.8% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํˆฌ์ž์ž๋ฌธ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ 17์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 2.3%, 2024๋…„ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 4.2% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํ‰๊ท  ์šด์šฉ์ž์‚ฐ(AUM) ์ฆ๊ฐ€์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์‹คํšจ ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ์œจ ํ•˜๋ฝ์œผ๋กœ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์ƒ์‡„๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ํˆฌ์ž์ž๋ฌธ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ 66์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3.1% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

As client demand increasingly shifts towards lower-priced vehicles and strategies, we remain focused on delivering our investment strategies in our clients' vehicles of choice, while maintaining competitive fee rates. Slide 19 in the supplement illustrates the changes in our vehicle mix over the past 5 years. Over time, we've seen a growing proportion of our gross sales going to fixed income and multi-asset and to lower-priced vehicles like ETFs, trusts and SMAs, while redemptions remain primarily concentrated in higher-priced equity strategies and mutual funds. These sales and redemption patterns drive the change in our asset and vehicle mix.๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ์ ์  ๋” ์ €๊ฐ€ ์ƒํ’ˆ๊ณผ ์ „๋žต์œผ๋กœ ์ด๋™ํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ๋ ฅ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ์œจ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์ด ์„ ํ˜ธํ•˜๋Š” ์ƒํ’ˆ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ํˆฌ์ž ์ „๋žต์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ณด์ถฉ์ž๋ฃŒ์˜ ์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ 19๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ 5๋…„๊ฐ„ ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์ƒํ’ˆ ๊ตฌ์„ฑ์˜ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ด ํŒ๋งค์•ก ์ค‘ ์ฑ„๊ถŒ๊ณผ ๋ฉ€ํ‹ฐ์—์…‹์œผ๋กœ์˜ ์œ ์ž… ๋น„์ค‘์ด ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ETF, ์‹ ํƒ, SMA์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ์ €๊ฐ€ ์ƒํ’ˆ์œผ๋กœ์˜ ์œ ์ž…๋„ ๋Š˜์–ด๋‚œ ๋ฐ˜๋ฉด, ํ™˜๋งค๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ€์˜ ์ฃผ์‹ ์ „๋žต๊ณผ ๋ฎค์ถ”์–ผํŽ€๋“œ์— ์ง‘์ค‘๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํŒ๋งค ๋ฐ ํ™˜๋งค ํŒจํ„ด์ด ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์ž์‚ฐ ๋ฐ ์ƒํ’ˆ ๊ตฌ์„ฑ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ์ฃผ๋„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Based on normal market conditions and assets at the end of 2025, we anticipate 2026 adjusted operating expenses, excluding carried interest expense, will be up 3% to 6% over 2025's $4.6 billion. This range includes our ongoing expense management program that allows us to continue investing in growth areas of the market. We remain committed to maintaining a strong cash position and returning capital to stockholders. During Q4, we bought back $141 million worth of shares, bringing buybacks for 2025 to $624.6 million or 2.8% of our shares outstanding.์ •์ƒ์ ์ธ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ƒํ™ฉ๊ณผ 2025๋…„ ๋ง ์ž์‚ฐ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ, 2026๋…„ ์กฐ์ • ์˜์—…๋น„์šฉ์€ ์ด์›”์ด์ต ๋น„์šฉ์„ ์ œ์™ธํ•˜๊ณ  2025๋…„์˜ 46์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3%์—์„œ 6% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ฒ”์œ„์—๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์˜์—ญ์— ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํˆฌ์žํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ํ•˜๋Š” ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํฌ์ง€์…˜์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ฃผ์ฃผ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ž๋ณธ์„ ํ™˜์›ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๊ณ„์† ์ „๋…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ 1์–ต 4,100๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ๋ฅผ ๋งค์ž…ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2025๋…„ ์ „์ฒด ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž… ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋Š” 6์–ต 2,460๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ๋ฐœํ–‰์ฃผ์‹์˜ 2.8%์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We closed the year with a strong balance sheet, holding $3.8 billion of cash and discretionary investments, up $735 million from the start of the year. This allows us to support our recurring dividend while preserving the ability to pursue opportunistic acquisitions or partnerships and execute share buybacks. Our long-term approach to managing our business enables us to invest strategically in areas that strengthen our capabilities and drive meaningful results for our clients. Combined with our continued focus on prudent expense oversight, we remain well positioned to navigate changing market cycles and evolving trends.

Alexander Blostein: Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division So maybe starting with just a question around how you guys are planning from an operating perspective for 2026. I heard this expense guide. So maybe just remind us the ability to flex up or down in the environment for equities is maybe flattish for the year. I just want to understand the key assumptions there. And then bigger picture, when you guys zoom out, obviously, the overall margins remain relatively healthy, but below where you guys have been in the past with prospects of organic base growth still somewhat challenged. How do you guys think about the margins for T. Rowe Price in totality kind of over the medium term over the next couple of years?**Alexander Blostein:** 2026๋…„ ์šด์˜ ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๊ณ„ํšํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹ ์ง€๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์—ฌ์ญ™๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋น„์šฉ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋Š” ๋“ค์—ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”. ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ์ด ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋ณดํ•ฉ์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ผ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ์ƒํ™ฉ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ƒํ–ฅ ๋˜๋Š” ํ•˜ํ–ฅ ์กฐ์ •ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์ด ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„์ธ์ง€ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๊นŒ? ์ฃผ์š” ๊ฐ€์ •์‚ฌํ•ญ๋“ค์ด ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋” ํฐ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ „์ฒด์ ์ธ ๋งˆ์ง„์€ ์ƒ๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฑด์ „ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๋‚ฎ์€ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด๊ณ , ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ๊ธฐ์ดˆ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋ง๋„ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๋‹ค์†Œ ์–ด๋ ค์šด ์ƒํ™ฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ค‘๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ T.

Robert Sharps: President, CEO & Chair of the Board Yes, Alex, thank you for the question. The biggest factor in any single year on our operating margin is equity market return. As we've discussed in the past, there's a portion of our expense base, about 1/3 of it that's variable. But the biggest driver of our revenue is equity market returns. That said, we understand the dynamic of the revenue outlook with regard to flow and fee pressure, and we're going to need to balance going forward investing to position ourselves for success long term and ensuring that we have world-class talent with a commitment to being a highly efficient organization with an ongoing focus on productivity. So we have a number of initiatives to drive cost savings to fund those investments. But I'm really not going to comment on what I think the margin profile will look like over time because, as I said, the market return has such a significant influence on that.**Robert Sharps:** ๋„ค, Alex, ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹จ์ผ ์—ฐ๋„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ ์— ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์š”์ธ์€ ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ์—๋„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ ธ๋“ฏ์ด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์˜ ์•ฝ 3๋ถ„์˜ 1์€ ๋ณ€๋™๋น„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ๋™์ธ์€ ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ ‡๊ธด ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ž๊ธˆ ์œ ์ถœ์ž…๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ ์••๋ฐ•๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ๋งค์ถœ ์ „๋ง์˜ ์—ญํ•™๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํžˆ ์ดํ•ดํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์žฅ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ๊ณต์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž์™€ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ์ธ์žฌ ํ™•๋ณด, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ์— ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณ ํšจ์œจ ์กฐ์ง์ด ๋˜๊ฒ ๋‹ค๋Š” ์•ฝ์† ์‚ฌ์ด์—์„œ ๊ท ํ˜•์„ ๋งž์ถฐ์•ผ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž ์žฌ์›์„ ๋งˆ๋ จํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ๋‹ค์ˆ˜ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ”„๋กœํŒŒ์ผ์ด ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ ์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ง€ ์•Š๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ž์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ์— ๋งค์šฐ ํฐ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
CFO & Treasurer: And maybe if I can talk specifically about expenses and the guide for 2026. We had talked last time about the 2/3 of our controllable expenses that we were managing towards low single-digit growth, that's included in this plan. And as Rob mentioned, that's a balance of cost savings efforts and also earmarking funds to be able to invest in some of our growth areas, new vehicles such as ETFs, SMAs, models, in alternatives and in our partnerships where we're introducing new products and also in things like advice. And then if you look at our market-driven expenses, that's what's driving it slightly higher into the range. And it's really 2 big drivers there. One is on what we call distribution expenses. That's things like 12b-1 trailer fees or revenue share. Those increase with assets under management as opposed to revenue, and we saw tailwinds in growth in AUM at the end of the year, and we have our normal market growth assumptions, kind of moderate equity market growth in 2026 as well as modest fixed income growth. The second thing that's within there is our year-end compensation. And again, that generally runs with revenue, but there are some accounting implications from our LTI program that are driving that a little higher this year.**CFO & Treasurer:** 2026๋…„ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์˜ ๋น„์šฉ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ๋ฒˆ์— ํ†ต์ œ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ์˜ 2/3๋ฅผ ๋‚ฎ์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ๋กœ ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ ธ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ด๋ฒˆ ๊ณ„ํš์— ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋กญ์ด ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด, ์ด๋Š” ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ๊ณผ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋ถ„์•ผ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž ์žฌ์› ํ™•๋ณด ๊ฐ„์˜ ๊ท ํ˜•์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Just curious if you could just talk a little bit about how you're experimenting with tokenization and blockchain. Where do you see some of the most compelling use cases and value to be unlocked? I'm curious how you see this all playing out over the next 12, 24 months versus longer term? And where might there be scope for differentiation?**Michael Cyprys:**

Eric Veiel: Head of Global Investments & CIO Yes, Michael, it's Eric. I'll take that one. We're -- first of all, we've been investing in our digitization capabilities going back to '22 when we first brought on a team and have built it out internally to develop expertise in this area. We think about it along 3 different vectors. First, there is an efficiency opportunity within tokenization for middle and back office savings that I think could be consequential in time. There's a product opportunity as you move more traditional finance assets on chain, you open up opportunity to accelerate some of the trends that we're seeing, whether that's the convergence of public and private, whether it's fractionalization or mass customization. And then there's a distribution opportunity. It opens up a new generation of investors who are native to mobile and crypto. We're working on all 3 of those. I would say on the efficiency front within investments, we're doing a lot of work on end-to-end processes. that we think will really impact over time from a cost savings perspective, our middle and back office and potentially even some front-office opportunity. On the product side, we've already talked about how we've registered with the SEC, our active crypto ETF that we hope to have in market in '26 that will use a blend of fundamental and quantitative analysis to bring a multi token ETF to the market. And then on the distribution side, I think that's a more open opportunity for us, and we'll explore everything from partnerships to de novo builds.**Eric Veiel:** ๋„ค, ๋งˆ์ดํด. ์—๋ฆญ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ์„  ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 2022๋…„๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋””์ง€ํ„ธํ™” ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์— ํˆฌ์žํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‹œ ์ „๋‹ด ํŒ€์„ ๊ตฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์˜ ์ „๋ฌธ์„ฑ์„ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋‚ด๋ถ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ฅผ ์„ธ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์ ‘๊ทผํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Sharps: President, CEO & Chair of the Board Yes, Craig, thank you for the question. So not a lot new since we've commented on this in the last few calls. Our multi-asset team has really researched the investment case for -- including private market alternatives in defined contribution solutions, including Target Date funds. And they believe that the investment case is strong. That said, there is a mixed view among plan sponsors based on lack of clarity with regard to fiduciary risk, and change, just kind of not only around fee but also around liquidity. And it's a dynamic ultimately that we're going to need to navigate. As you said, the DOL comments are due to come back from the OMB. There'll be a public comment period. We may not get real clarity on what the ultimate guidance looks like for several months. What we want to do is have a flexible approach that's responsive to our clients' interest. So with regard to the specific question about the Goldman Sachs T. Rowe Price retirement date offering, we continue to work on product design and plan to have the offering in market in -- around midyear this year. We think there's a segment of the market that will be early adopters and kind of ultimately kind of feel that interest could grow. But my sense is that penetration of the overall opportunity set will evolve relatively slowly and won't be substantial for some period of time.**Robert Sharps:** ๋„ค, Craig, ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ช‡ ์ฐจ๋ก€ ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค ์ฝœ์—์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ์ดํ›„ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์ง„ ๊ฒƒ์€ ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ ๋ฉ€ํ‹ฐ์—์…‹ ํŒ€์€ ํ™•์ •๊ธฐ์—ฌํ˜•(DC) ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜, ํŠนํžˆ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ์— ์‚ฌ๋ชจ ๋Œ€์ฒดํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จ์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ํˆฌ์ž ์ผ€์ด์Šค๋ฅผ ์‹ฌ๋„ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ์—ฐ๊ตฌํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํˆฌ์ž ์ผ€์ด์Šค ์ž์ฒด๋Š” ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํžˆ ์„ค๋“๋ ฅ์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํŒ๋‹จํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ, ํ”Œ๋žœ ์Šคํฐ์„œ๋“ค ์‚ฌ์ด์—์„œ๋Š” ์ˆ˜ํƒ์ž ๋ฆฌ์Šคํฌ(fiduciary risk)์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ช…ํ™•์„ฑ ๋ถ€์กฑ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์œ ๋™์„ฑ ์ธก๋ฉด์˜ ๋ณ€ํ™”์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ ค๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์˜๊ฒฌ์ด ์—‡๊ฐˆ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ƒํ™ฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฐ๊ตญ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ํ—ค์ณ๋‚˜๊ฐ€์•ผ ํ•  ์—ญํ•™๊ด€๊ณ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋Œ€๋กœ, ๋…ธ๋™๋ถ€(DOL) ๊ทœ์ •์•ˆ์ด ํ–‰์ •๊ด€๋ฆฌ์˜ˆ์‚ฐ๊ตญ(OMB)์—์„œ ๋Œ์•„์˜ฌ ์˜ˆ์ •์ด๊ณ , ์ดํ›„ ๊ณต๊ฐœ ์˜๊ฒฌ์ˆ˜๋ ด ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์ด ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ์ข… ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๊ฐ€ ์–ด๋–ค ๋ชจ์Šต์ผ์ง€ ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•ด์ง€๊ธฐ๊นŒ์ง€๋Š” ๋ช‡ ๊ฐœ์›”์ด ๊ฑธ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๊ณ ์ž ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์‚ฌ์— ์œ ์—ฐํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋Œ€์‘ํ•˜๋Š” ์ ‘๊ทผ ๋ฐฉ์‹์„ ์ทจํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณจ๋“œ๋งŒ์‚ญ์Šค T.

Daniel Fannon: Jefferies LLC, Research Division I wanted to talk about the Target Date business. You showed some outflows in the fourth quarter, something we haven't seen in a few years. So I wanted to get a little bit more context around the momentum and/or outlook for that business as we think about 2026, whether that's kind of backlog, kind of new win opportunities and/or losses that might be within the periphery as of now.**Daniel Fannon:** ํƒ€๊ฒŸ ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ(Target Date Fund) ์‚ฌ์—…์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์—ฌ์ญค๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ž๊ธˆ ์œ ์ถœ์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ๋˜ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ฌ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ช‡ ๋…„ ๋งŒ์— ์ฒ˜์Œ ๋ณด๋Š” ํ˜„์ƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ 2026๋…„์„ ๋ฐ”๋ผ๋ณด๋ฉด์„œ ์ด ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์ด๋‚˜ ์ „๋ง์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ข€ ๋” ์ž์„ธํ•œ ์„ค๋ช…์„ ๋“ฃ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์ด๋‚˜ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์ˆ˜์ฃผ ๊ธฐํšŒ, ๋˜๋Š” ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋Š” ์†์‹ค ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ ๋“ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๋ฉด ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Robert Sharps: President, CEO & Chair of the Board Yes, Dan, thanks for the question. And if I may, maybe I'll take the opportunity to zoom out and talk about flows more broadly and then drill down on the Target Date business. Flows in the fourth quarter were meaningfully softer than we anticipated, especially in the month of December. The weakness was largely driven by equities with particular pressure in growth equity portfolios driven by a handful of institutional losses and some rebalancing given the robust equity market returns in 2025. But as you cite, outflows in the retirement date funds, which are not necessarily unusual for the month of December, but are unusual for the full fourth quarter were also a factor. About 1/3 of the Q4 retirement date outflows were driven by M&A activity where our client was acquired and the plans were consolidated and we ended up losing the mandate. We also lost a handful of lumpy or larger mandates that weren't M&A related. But if you look at the broader trend, I think what you see is that fully active Target Date funds are losing share to passive and blend. Given our position as the largest fully active Target Date fund manager, that's going to be a headwind for us. On the positive side, I think we're really well positioned to mitigate or offset that headwind with our very strong blend and hybrid offerings, which incorporate a component of passive. The blend area is the fastest-growing category within Target Date. It's actually growing faster than passive. And T. Rowe Price is gaining market share in the blend category. So we believe that we'll continue to grow our retirement date franchise going forward. Whether or not that growth is consistent with the levels that it's been in the past, I think, to some extent, will depend on the intensity of the shift away from active and our ability to capture a portion of that with our blend and hybrid offering, but also to grow and gain market share from a new dollar perspective within that category. Just as a more current data point, we did have $1.7 billion of Target Date inflows in the month of January. I'll also kind of take the opportunity to share some perspective on the 2026 flow outlook. Flows have been volatile and difficult for us to predict. But our base case reflects continued pressure in equities, partially offset by inflows in retirement date fund and consistent with the previous comment with a continued shift towards blend, steady growth in fixed income and accelerating growth in alternatives. The intensity of equity outflows is the biggest factor for our overall flows. To get back to positive flows, we need equity outflows to moderate. We're confident that, that will happen over time with strong performance. In January, we did have just under $6 billion of outflows, but the pipeline suggests that the rest of the quarter being February and March has the potential to improve from those levels.**Robert Sharps:** ๋„ค, ๋Œ„, ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๊ธฐํšŒ์— ์ž๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ํ›„ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ์‚ฌ์—…์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ค๋ช…๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ž๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์€ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ–ˆ๋˜ ๊ฒƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๋ถ€์ง„ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ 12์›”์— ๊ทธ๋žฌ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์•ฝ์„ธ๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ์ฃผ์‹ํ˜• ํŽ€๋“œ์—์„œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ํŠนํžˆ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ฃผ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค์—์„œ ์••๋ฐ•์ด ์ปธ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ผ๋ถ€ ๊ธฐ๊ด€ํˆฌ์ž์ž๋“ค์˜ ์ž๊ธˆ ์ดํƒˆ๊ณผ 2025๋…„ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ๋ฆฌ๋ฐธ๋Ÿฐ์‹ฑ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ์€ํ‡ด์ผ ํŽ€๋“œ(retirement date funds)์˜ ์ž๊ธˆ ์œ ์ถœ๋„ ํ•œ ์š”์ธ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 12์›” ํ•œ ๋‹ฌ๋งŒ ๋†“๊ณ  ๋ณด๋ฉด ํŠน๋ณ„ํžˆ ์ด๋ก€์ ์ธ ๊ฒƒ์€ ์•„๋‹ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ „์ฒด๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์ด๋ก€์ ์ธ ํ˜„์ƒ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ‡ด์ง์—ฐ๊ธˆ ์ž๊ธˆ ์œ ์ถœ์˜ ์•ฝ 3๋ถ„์˜ 1์€ M&A ํ™œ๋™์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์‚ฌ๊ฐ€ ์ธ์ˆ˜๋˜๋ฉด์„œ ์—ฐ๊ธˆ ํ”Œ๋žœ์ด ํ†ตํ•ฉ๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ , ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์šด์šฉ ์œ„ํƒ์„ ์žƒ๊ฒŒ ๋œ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ M&A์™€ ๋ฌด๊ด€ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ ์œ„ํƒ ๊ฑด ๋ช‡ ๊ฑด๋„ ์ƒ์‹คํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์ถ”์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์‹œ๋ฉด, ์™„์ „ ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ๋ฐฉ์‹์˜ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ(Target Date Fund)๊ฐ€ ํŒจ์‹œ๋ธŒ์™€ ๋ธ”๋ Œ๋“œ ๋ฐฉ์‹์— ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ๋‚ด์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์•Œ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์™„์ „ ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ ์šด์šฉ์‚ฌ๋ผ๋Š” ์ ์„ ๊ฐ์•ˆํ•˜๋ฉด, ์ด๋Š” ์ €ํฌ์—๊ฒŒ ์—ญํ’์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Benjamin Budish: Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division Maybe, Rob, just following up on that last point. I know the market had a bit of a shock just yesterday, and I would expect your comments are sort of higher level thinking over the course of the year. But just curious, how would you expect that sort of impact to translate to near-term equity flows? How do advisers and retail customers tend to respond to that sort of disruption? And could you maybe talk about the sort of mix across the equity franchise? How exposed is the business to software and services and the areas which at least the market is sort of worrying maybe under some kind of near-term threat from AI developments?**Benjamin Budish:** ๋„ค, ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ์–ด์ œ ์•ฝ๊ฐ„์˜ ์ถฉ๊ฒฉ์„ ๋ฐ›์•˜๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ , ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋‚ด์šฉ์ด ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์นœ ์ข€ ๋” ๋†’์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ๊ด€์ ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€, ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ์ฃผ์‹ ์ž๊ธˆ ์œ ์ž…์— ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ฐ˜์˜๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜์‹œ๋Š”์ง€์š”? ์–ด๋“œ๋ฐ”์ด์ €๋“ค๊ณผ ๋ฆฌํ…Œ์ผ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ์ด๋Ÿฐ ์ข…๋ฅ˜์˜ ํ˜ผ๋ž€์— ๋ณดํ†ต ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ฐ˜์‘ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒฝํ–ฅ์ด ์žˆ๋‚˜์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ฃผ์‹ ํ”„๋žœ์ฐจ์ด์ฆˆ ์ „๋ฐ˜์˜ ๊ตฌ์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ์†Œํ”„ํŠธ์›จ์–ด์™€ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๋ถ€๋ฌธ, ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‹ˆ๊นŒ ์ ์–ด๋„ ์‹œ์žฅ์ด AI ๋ฐœ์ „์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ์œ„ํ˜‘์„ ๋ฐ›์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ คํ•˜๋Š” ์˜์—ญ๋“ค์— ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค๊ฐ€ ์–ผ๋งˆ๋‚˜ ๋…ธ์ถœ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€์š”?
Robert Sharps: President, CEO & Chair of the Board Yes, I'll start and welcome input from Eric and Jen, who I'm sure have a perspective on the topic. With regard to how equity market returns impact flows, it depends by client type. I think there are certain client types that tend to react more quickly and other client types that have a commitment to the asset class and allocation framework that kind of in some instance with the drawdown in the market may actually be inclined to rebalance and add to equities. I would say the net effect to us over a period longer than days or weeks really isn't that substantial. I think in the very short term, you may see a knee-jerk reaction to a sharp drawdown in the market in certain segments. But ultimately, there are a number of puts and takes. And as I've said in my earlier comment, despite robust market returns last year, that actually caused a bit of a drag as some of our clients rebalanced away from strategies that had significant absolute returns. So -- that's -- again, I'd say not something that is a meaningful factor in our outlook from a flow perspective. In terms of our exposure to software and services, I'll ask Eric to offer his perspective. I think a lot of the consternation in the market is over some of the private equity sponsors having significant deals and exposure to PE firms. There's an active largely liquid public manager, we have the ability to adapt and adjust to changing market environment. So our positioning can obviously be very fluid. I would say that our overall mix is no more exposed than the market as a whole. But I'll ask for Eric to give a little bit more specific commentary in terms of software exposure.**Robert Sharps:** ๋„ค, ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋จผ์ € ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  Eric๊ณผ Jen์˜ ์˜๊ฒฌ๋„ ๋“ฃ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ถ„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ด ์ฃผ์ œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ด€์ ์„ ๊ฐ–๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹ค ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃผ์‹์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์ด ์ž๊ธˆ ์œ ์ž…์— ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์œ ํ˜•์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๋‹ค๋ฆ…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠน์ • ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์œ ํ˜•์€ ๋” ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ๋ฐ˜์‘ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒฝํ–ฅ์ด ์žˆ๊ณ , ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์œ ํ˜•์€ ์ž์‚ฐ๊ตฐ๊ณผ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ํ”„๋ ˆ์ž„์›Œํฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ™•๊ณ ํ•œ ์›์น™์„ ๊ฐ–๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด์„œ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ ํ•˜๋ฝ ์‹œ ์˜คํžˆ๋ ค ๋ฆฌ๋ฐธ๋Ÿฐ์‹ฑ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ ๋น„์ค‘์„ ๋Š˜๋ฆฌ๋ ค๋Š” ์„ฑํ–ฅ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Eric Veiel: Head of Global Investments & CIO Sure. So with almost roughly $1 trillion in equity assets across a wide variety of different types of portfolios, we're obviously going to have a lot of different types of mandates with different types of exposure to software. As you think about what happened yesterday and the disruption risk of AI, specifically some very unique opportunities that were brought forward by Anthropic, we have been studying these opportunities and risks for a long time and have very deep research on them and have been positioned for events like this in many of our portfolios. That doesn't mean that in every portfolio, we're perfectly positioned for what happened in a single day of market action. But what happened yesterday in terms of the potential disruption of AI across different parts of the software industry is not a surprise to us.**Eric Veiel:** ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ํˆฌ์ž ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ๋ฐ ์ตœ๊ณ ํˆฌ์ž์ฑ…์ž„์ž(CIO) ๋‹ต๋ณ€:

Robert Sharps: President, CEO & Chair of the Board Yes. Look, I'm not going to comment on OHA's underlying exposures. But what I will say is that they have an extraordinary rigorous credit process. And to the extent that we go into a credit environment where defaults are more prevalent, we think that OHA's process and performance will be a differentiating factor relative to the rest of the industry. I might just take the opportunity to comment on OHA more broadly. OHA is doing well. They had a second consecutive year of record capital raising with particular strength in private lending. The T. Rowe Price and OHA teams are working very well together on opportunities across wealth, insurance and the broader institutional market. As a matter of fact, the T. Rowe Price client-facing teams helped OHA bring in over $3 billion in new institutional commitments with much of that in 2025. As we referenced earlier, OHA is deeply involved in our collaboration with Goldman Sachs. Their private credit capabilities are designed into several of the investment strategies, including the co-branded retirement date fund and multi-assets offering for wealth. We do plan to do a spotlight on OHA and our efforts in alternatives on one of the earnings calls later this year and anticipate having Glenn August join us for that call.**Robert Sharps:** ๋„ค, OHA์˜ ๊ธฐ์ดˆ ์ต์Šคํฌ์ €์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ OHA๊ฐ€ ๋งค์šฐ ์—„๊ฒฉํ•œ ์‹ ์šฉ ์‹ฌ์‚ฌ ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ฐ–์ถ”๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งŒ์•ฝ ๋ถ€๋„๊ฐ€ ๋” ๋นˆ๋ฒˆํ•ด์ง€๋Š” ์‹ ์šฉ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์œผ๋กœ ์ ‘์–ด๋“ ๋‹ค๋ฉด, OHA์˜ ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค์™€ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์—…๊ณ„ ๋‚ด์—์„œ ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™” ์š”์ธ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Sharps: President, CEO & Chair of the Board Yes. In terms of the Q4 activity, I think it's relatively straightforward. When one of our plan sponsors get acquired, eventually the acquirer consolidates the plans. In certain instances, we're given the opportunity to compete for the combined plan. And in certain instances, the acquirer makes the decision that they automatically want to consolidate with their incumbent Target Date fund provider. So -- I mean, at the end of the day, that kind of really is all the color on that, that I have. I don't really have any more color on the dynamic in the marketplace outside of saying that we're seeing less interest in new opportunities for fully active Target Date fund and a significant increase in opportunities in blend and hybrid. I think to some extent, that's a reflection of where the market has been, where the power of the returns in the market cap-weighted benchmarks, particularly in U.S. large-cap equity. Ultimately, if that market dynamic changes and you have a backdrop that is more conducive to alpha generation from active management, then I think the fully active proposition will have more of an opportunity to stand out and be differentiated. In terms of the pipeline for Target Date funds, it would again be consistent with the comment. The overall activity is robust, but we have more interest and more opportunity in blend and hybrid than we do in fully active.**Robert Sharps:** 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ™œ๋™๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๋น„๊ต์  ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žœ ์Šคํฐ์„œ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜๊ฐ€ ์ธ์ˆ˜๋˜๋ฉด, ๊ฒฐ๊ตญ ์ธ์ˆ˜ ๊ธฐ์—…์ด ํ”Œ๋žœ์„ ํ†ตํ•ฉํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์–ด๋–ค ๊ฒฝ์šฐ์—๋Š” ํ†ตํ•ฉ๋œ ํ”Œ๋žœ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ฒฝ์Ÿํ•  ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ›๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•˜๊ณ , ๋˜ ์–ด๋–ค ๊ฒฝ์šฐ์—๋Š” ์ธ์ˆ˜ ๊ธฐ์—…์ด ์ž๋™์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ์กด ํƒ€๊ฒŸ ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ(Target Date Fund) ์ œ๊ณต์—…์ฒด์™€ ํ†ตํ•ฉํ•˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ๊ฒฐ์ •ํ•˜๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฐ๊ตญ ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋‚ด์šฉ์€ ์ด ์ •๋„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์žฅ ์—ญํ•™์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋” ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ๊ฒƒ์€ ์—†๊ณ , ๋‹ค๋งŒ ์™„์ „ ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋Š” ์ค„์–ด๋“ค๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ฐ˜๋ฉด, ๋ธ”๋ Œ๋“œ์™€ ํ•˜์ด๋ธŒ๋ฆฌ๋“œ ๋ฐฉ์‹์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋Š” ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ๋งŒ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ์–ด๋–ค ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด์—ˆ๋Š”์ง€๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋Œ€ํ˜•์ฃผ์—์„œ ์‹œ๊ฐ€์ด์•ก ๊ฐ€์ค‘ ๋ฒค์น˜๋งˆํฌ์˜ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ–ˆ๋˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ๊ฒฐ๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ ์—ญํ•™์ด ๋ฐ”๋€Œ์–ด์„œ ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ์šด์šฉ์„ ํ†ตํ•œ ์•ŒํŒŒ ์ฐฝ์ถœ์— ๋” ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์ด ์กฐ์„ฑ๋œ๋‹ค๋ฉด, ์™„์ „ ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ์ƒํ’ˆ์ด ๋” ๋‘๊ฐ์„ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ด๊ณ  ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”๋  ๊ธฐํšŒ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๊ธธ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํƒ€๊ฒŸ๋ฐ์ดํŠธ ํŽ€๋“œ(Target Date funds) ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ๋Š”, ์•ž์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋‚ด์šฉ๊ณผ ์ผ๋งฅ์ƒํ†ตํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ํ™œ๋™์€ ํ™œ๋ฐœํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์™„์ „ ์•กํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ณด๋‹ค๋Š” ๋ธ”๋ Œ๋“œ(blend)์™€ ํ•˜์ด๋ธŒ๋ฆฌ๋“œ(hybrid) ์ชฝ์—์„œ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ๊ด€์‹ฌ๊ณผ ๊ธฐํšŒ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ƒํ™ฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Patrick Davitt: Autonomous Research US LP Most of them have been asked. Just a quick follow-up on that again. Can you remind -- on the Target, can you remind on the cadence each year on when those lumpier planned losses can occur? I know mostly December, but I seem to remember there are a couple of other months where they can come through in the past as well.**Patrick Davitt:** ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์€ ์ด๋ฏธ ๋‚˜์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
