clients increasing activity at major brokerages in the wake of
greater volatility in global financial markets. It is also expected
that retail institutional investors continue to re-engaging into
risky assets, especially equities. There is a clear shift in asset
allocation preferences among mutual fund investors out of fixed
income and into equities that we see continuing through 2011.
