Duff & Phelps Reports 2012 Second Quarter Results, And Declares Quarterly Dividend

"We will continue to deploy our strong balance sheet in support of new growth opportunities,” continued Mr. Gottdiener. “While the outlook remains uncertain for a recovery in large-scale M&A and restructuring, we expect second-half contributions from our non-cyclical service areas and our middle-market M&A business to provide revenue balance in this environment."

The dividend is payable on August 17, 2012 to shareholders of record on August 7, 2012.
