Here are Sale’s pre-comments ahead of eQ reporting its Q2 results on August 4th: 
Revenue and earnings are shifting back to growth, but unfortunately, this is purely due to Advium and the Investments segment. In Asset Management, the earnings trend remains downward as the company suffers from significant redemptions from open-ended real estate funds while simultaneously making substantial growth investments. The main focus of the report will be on eQ’s vital private equity (PE) new sales, the challenges in real estate funds, and the cash flows from performance fees.
