The turmoil in the capital markets has reached a new phase. While it is difficult to see through the dark clouds that have now formed, better times lie ahead. Our message to clients, as always, is to not get caught up in the emotions of the moment, as it is so easy to do. Righting the economy and the capital markets will take time, but the necessary things have begun to happen, and we continue to believe that we are positioned to recover investment performance in the period ahead. 9/15/2008
