The Private Equity business, which includes Private Equity Funds and Castles, had pre-tax DE of $27 million for the second quarter, a slight decrease from $29 million in the first quarter. Year-to-date pre-tax DE for the segment was $56 million, down $6 million from the same time period in 2011, largely due to lower Private Equity Fund management fees that resulted from changes in the basis on which these fees are calculated in three funds, partially offset by higher Private Equity Fund incentive income. The majority of this incentive income was attributable to a $6 million reversal of previously recognized claw-back reserves recorded for Fund II.
