If the Alts converted to C-corps,
there would be tax leakage as aresult no pass-through of earnings for
carried interest and investment income. We estimate an effective tax
rate of 24% (21% federal + 3% state and local). The companies may
be able to keep some of the tax offsets in place; however, we conserv-
atively use a full 24% to evaluate the earnings impact. As a result of
higher taxes and -16% lower earnings on average in a C-corp, the
stocks would need to re-rate upward by 2.1x turns to maintain
their current valuations.

On average we estimate a -16% hit to EPS using a 24% tax rate in a
C-corp structure. This would require 201 8e multiples to expand 2.1x0n
