• the impact from lawsuits or investigations arising from errors and omissions, breaches of fiduciary duty or other claims against us in our capacity as a broker or investment advisor, including claims related to our investment business’ ability to execute timely trades;
• the increasing prevalence of ransomware, supply chain and other forms of cyber attacks, and their potential to disrupt our operations, or the operations of our third party vendors, and result in the disclosure of confidential client or company information;

• our ability to fully realize the opportunities and efficiencies from the Thrive program, which focuses on our brand strategy, delivering greater value to clients, accelerating growth and improving efficiency;
• the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise based on insurance placement activities and insurer revenue streams; and
• the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, such as the implementation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development international tax framework, or the increasing number of challenges from tax authorities in the current global tax environment.
