  • [By ovenerio]

    The company has a current ROE of 18.18% which is higher than the industry median and the ones exhibited by Legg Mason (LM) and Invesco (IVZ). In general, analysts consider ROE ratios in the 15-20% range as representing attractive levels for investment. So for investors looking those levels or more, KKR & Co. (KKR), SEI Investments (SEIC) and T. Rowe Price Group I! nc. (TROW! ) could be the option. It is very important to understand this metric before investing and it is important to look at the trend in ROE over time.
