General
Federated Investors, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, Federated), is a leading provider of investment management products and related financial services. Federated has been in the investment management business since 1955 and is one of the largest mutual fund managers in the United States with $358.2 billion in assets under management at December 31, 2010.
Federated sponsors, markets and provides investment-related services to various investment products, including mutual funds and Separate Accounts (which include separately managed accounts, institutional accounts, sub-advised funds and other managed products). Federateds principal source of revenue is investment advisory fee income earned by various subsidiaries of Federated pursuant to investment advisory contracts with the investment products. These subsidiaries are registered as investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act). Investment advisers are compensated for their services in the form of investment advisory fees based primarily upon the assets under management of the investment products.
Federated provided investment advisory services to 136 Federated-sponsored funds (the Federated Funds) as of December 31, 2010. Federated markets these funds to banks, broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries who use them to meet the needs of their customers, including retail investors, corporations and retirement plans. The funds sponsored by Federated are domiciled in the U.S., with the exception of Federated International Funds Plc and Federated Unit Trust, which are domiciled in Dublin, Ireland. Most of Federateds U.S.-domiciled funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Investment Company Act) and under applicable federal laws. Each of the U.S.-domiciled funds enters into an advisory agreement that is subject to annual approval by the funds board of directors or trustees, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the funds or Federated as defined under the Investment Company Act. In general, material amendments to such advisory agreements must be approved by the funds shareholders. A significant portion of Federateds revenue is derived from these advisory agreements, which generally are terminable upon 60 days notice to the investment adviser.
Of the 136 Federated Funds as of December 31, 2010, Federateds investment advisory subsidiaries managed 49 money market funds totaling $244.8 billion in assets under management, 50 fixed-income funds with $31.9 billion in assets under management and 37 equity funds with $22.6 billion in assets under management.
As of December 31, 2010, Federated provided investment advisory services to $48.2 billion in Separate Account assets. These Separate Accounts represent assets of high-net-worth individuals, government entities, pension and other employee benefit plans, corporations, trusts, foundations, endowments, mutual funds and other products sponsored by third parties. Fees for Separate Accounts are typically based on assets under management pursuant to investment advisory agreements that may be terminated at any time.
In addition, Federated managed liquidation portfolios which include portfolios of distressed fixed-income securities. In the distressed security category, Federated has been retained by third parties to manage these assets through an orderly liquidation process that will generally occur over a multi-year period. As of December 31, 2010, Federated managed four liquidation portfolios with $10.7 billion in assets.
Certain Federated Funds have adopted distribution plans that, subject to applicable law, provide for payment to Federated for distribution expenses, including sales commissions paid to broker/dealers. These distribution plans are implemented through a distribution agreement between Federated and each respective fund. Although the specific terms of each such agreement vary, the basic terms of the agreements are similar. Pursuant to the agreements, Federated acts as underwriter for the funds and distributes shares of the funds primarily through unaffiliated dealers. Each distribution plan and agreement is initially approved by the directors or trustees of the respective fund and is reviewed for approval by such directors or trustees annually.
3
Federated also provides a broad range of services to support the operation and administration of the Federated Funds. These services, for which Federated receives fees pursuant to agreements with the Federated Funds, include administrative services, shareholder servicing and general support.
Total Managed Assets (composed of Federated Funds, Separate Accounts and Liquidation Portfolios) represent the balance of assets under management at a point in time. Total Managed Assets for the past three years were as follows:

Average Managed Assets represent the average balance of assets under management during a period of time. Because substantially all revenue and distribution expense are generally calculated daily based on assets under management, changes in average managed assets are typically a key indicator of changes in revenue earned and asset-based expenses incurred during the same period. Average Managed Assets for the past three years were as follows:

Changes in Federateds average asset mix year-over-year across both asset and product types have a direct impact on Federateds operating income. Asset mix impacts Federateds total revenue due to the difference in the fee rates per invested dollar earned on each asset and product type. Equity products generally have a higher management-fee rate than fixed-income products, money market products and liquidation portfolios. Likewise, mutual fund products typically earn a higher management-fee rate than Separate Accounts. Similarly, traditional separate accounts typically have a higher management-fee rate than liquidation portfolios. Additionally, certain components of distribution expense can vary depending upon the asset type, distribution channel and/or the size of the customer relationship. Federated generally pays out a larger portion of the revenue earned from managed assets in money market funds than managed assets in equity or fixed-income funds.

Federateds revenues from investment advisory, administrative and other service fees provided under agreements with the Federated Funds and other entities over the last three years were as follows:

As of December 31, 2010, Federated has the following revenue concentrations:
Revenue concentration by asset class Approximately 50% of Federateds total revenue for 2010 was attributable to money market assets. A significant change in Federateds money market business or a significant reduction in money market assets due to regulatory changes, changes in the financial markets including significant increases in interest rates over a short period of time, significant deterioration in investor confidence, further persistent declines in or additional prolonged periods of historically low short-term interest rates and resulting fee waivers or other circumstances, could have a material adverse effect on Federateds results of operations.
Through the adverse market conditions of 2008, Federateds government agency and treasury money market funds experienced significant asset inflows. These funds grew as certain investors favored the perceived safety and liquidity of portfolios backed by government securities over other investment products. In certain products, the gross yield is not sufficient to cover all of the funds normal operating expenses. During the fourth quarter 2008, Federated began waiving fees in order for certain funds to maintain positive or zero net yields.
During 2010, fee waivers to maintain positive or zero net yields totaled $241.6 million and were partially offset by a related reduction in distribution expenses of $186.6 million such that the net impact to Federated was $55.0 million in reduced operating income. The impact of these fee waivers for 2010 was significantly more than the impact for 2009 with $120.6 million in waived fees, $86.4 million in reduced distribution expenses and a net impact on operating income of $34.2 million and the impact for 2008 with $3.6 million in waived fees, $1.9 million in reduced distribution expenses and a net impact on operating income of $1.7 million. (See Note (24) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the quarterly operating income impact of the fee waivers.) Management expects the fee waivers and the related reduction in distribution expense will continue into 2011 and will likely be material. Management does not expect the quarterly operating income impact from these waivers for the first quarter of 2011 to change materially from the $12.3 million experienced in the fourth quarter 2010. These fee waivers are expected to decrease over time as the market begins to factor in the potential for increases in short-term interest rates and then again when the Federal Reserve begins to increase interest rates. Management estimates that an increase of 10 basis points in gross yields on securities purchased in money market fund portfolios will likely reduce the operating income impact of these waivers by about one-third from the current levels and a 25-basis-point increase would reduce the impact by about two-thirds. The actual amount of future fee waivers could vary significantly from managements estimates as they are contingent on a number of variables including, but not limited to, available yields on instruments held by the money market funds, changes in assets within money market funds, actions by the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, changes in expenses of the money market funds, changes in the mix of money market customer assets and Federateds willingness to continue the fee waivers.
Revenue concentration by product Approximately 12% of Federateds total revenue for 2010 was derived from services provided to one sponsored fund (Federated Kaufmann Fund). A significant and prolonged decline in the assets under management in this fund could have a material adverse effect on Federateds future revenues and, to a lesser extent, net income, due to a related reduction to distribution expenses associated with this fund.
5
Revenue concentration by customer Approximately 12% of Federateds total revenue for 2010 was derived from services provided to one intermediary customer, the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (including its Pershing subsidiary). Significant changes in Federateds relationship with this customer could have a material adverse effect on Federateds future revenues and, to a lesser extent, net income, due to related material reductions to distribution expenses associated with this intermediary.
Federateds revenues from domestic and foreign operations over the last three years were as follows:

Investment Products
Federated offers a wide range of products, including money market, equity and fixed-income investments. Federateds mix includes products that Federated expects to be in demand under a variety of economic and market conditions. Federated has structured its investment process to meet the requirements of fiduciaries and others who use Federateds products to meet the needs of their customers. Fiduciaries typically have stringent demands regarding portfolio composition, risk and investment performance.
Federated is one of the largest U.S. managers of money market assets, with $276.0 billion in such assets under management at December 31, 2010. Federated has developed expertise in managing cash for institutions, which typically have stringent requirements for regulatory compliance, relative safety, liquidity and competitive yields. Federated has managed money market funds for over 35 years and began selling money market fund products to institutions in 1974. Federated also manages retail money market products that are typically distributed through broker/dealers. Federated manages money market assets in the following asset classes: government ($127.2 billion); prime ($121.1 billion); and tax free ($27.7 billion).
Federateds fixed-income assets totaled $40.7 billion at December 31, 2010 and are managed in a wide range of sectors including multi-sector ($16.2 billion); municipal ($5.9 billion); U.S. government ($5.7 billion); U.S. corporate ($4.4 billion); mortgage-backed ($3.4 billion); high-yield ($2.9 billion); and international/global ($2.2 billion). Federateds fixed-income products offer fiduciaries and others a broad range of highly defined products designed to meet their investment needs.
Equity assets totaled $30.8 billion at December 31, 2010 and are managed across a wide range of styles including growth ($10.7 billion); value ($8.6 billion); blend ($4.9 billion); alternative ($2.8 billion); and international/global ($2.3 billion). Federated also manages assets in balanced and asset allocation funds ($1.5 billion). These asset allocation funds may include fixed-income assets.
Federateds liquidation portfolios totaled $10.7 billion at December 31, 2010.
Investment products are generally managed by a team of portfolio managers supported by fundamental and quantitative research analysts. Federateds proprietary, independent investment research process is centered on the integration of several fundamentals: fundamental research and credit analysis, quantitative research models, style-consistent and disciplined portfolio construction and management, performance attribution and trading.
6
Distribution Channels
Federateds distribution strategy is to provide products geared toward financial intermediaries, primarily banks, broker/dealers and investment advisers and directly to institutions such as corporations and government entities. Federated provides comprehensive investment management to approximately 5,000 institutions and intermediaries including corporations, government entities, insurance companies, foundations, endowments, banks and broker/dealers. Federated uses its trained sales force of approximately 180 representatives and managers to add new customer relationships and strengthen and expand existing relationships.
Product Markets
Federateds investment products are primarily distributed in three markets. These markets and the relative percentage of managed assets at December 31, 2010 attributable to such markets are as follows: wealth management and trust (51%), broker/dealer (29%) and global institutional (18%).
Wealth Management & Trust, Global Capital Markets and Institutional Cash. Federated pioneered the concept of providing liquidity management to bank trust departments through money market mutual funds over 35 years ago, and has since expanded our services nationwide to institutional cash management and treasury professionals, as well as financial professionals. Today, wealth management professionals across all of these types of firms use a broad range of Federateds equity and fixed-income funds to invest the assets over which they have discretion.
The majority of Federateds Managed Assets from the wealth management channel are invested in money market funds. In allocating investments across various asset classes, investors typically maintain a portion of their portfolios in cash or cash equivalents, including money market funds, irrespective of trends in bond or stock prices. In addition, Federated offers an extensive menu of equity and fixed-income mutual funds and Separate Accounts structured for the wealth management and trust market. In addition to bank trust departments and registered investment advisory firms, Federated provides products and services to capital markets clients (institutional brokerages generally within banks) and directly to cash management and treasury departments at major corporations and government entities.
Federated employs a dedicated sales force backed by an experienced support staff to offer products and services to the wealth management and trust market. As of December 31, 2010, Managed Assets in this market included $162.2 billion in money market assets, $13.7 billion in fixed-income assets and $5.3 billion in equity assets.
Broker/Dealer. Federated distributes its products in this market through a large, diversified group of approximately 1,500 national, regional and independent broker/dealers and bank broker/dealers. Federated maintains sales staff dedicated to calling on broker/dealers, bank broker/dealers and insurance interests. Broker/dealers use Federateds products to meet the needs of their customers, who are typically retail investors. Federated offers products with a variety of commission structures that enable brokers to offer their customers a choice of pricing options. Federated also offers money market mutual funds as cash management products designed for use by its broker/dealer clients. As of December 31, 2010, Managed Assets in the broker/dealer market included $72.1 billion in money market assets, $17.6 billion in equity assets and $14.8 billion in fixed-income assets.
Global Institutional. Federated maintains a dedicated sales staff to focus on the distribution of its products to a wide variety of global institutional customers: corporations, corporate and public pension funds, government entities, foundations, endowments, hospitals, and non-Federated investment companies. Federated includes institutional assets gathered in the U.S. in this market, as well as assets gathered from customers outside the U.S. through Federated Investors (U.K.) Ltd. and Federated Asset Management GmbH. As of December 31, 2010, Managed Assets in the global institutional market included $39.0 billion in money market assets, $10.7 billion in liquidation portfolios, $10.6 billion in fixed-income assets and $3.7 billion in equity assets.
7
Competition
The investment management business is highly competitive. Competition is particularly intense among mutual fund providers. According to the Investment Company Institute, at the end of 2010, there were approximately 7,500 open-end mutual funds of varying sizes and investment objectives whose shares are currently being offered to the public both on a sales-load and no-sales-load basis. In addition to competition from other mutual fund managers and investment advisers, Federated and the mutual fund industry compete with investment alternatives offered by insurance companies, commercial banks, broker/dealers, other financial institutions, hedge funds and exchange traded funds.
Competition for sales of investment products is influenced by various factors, including investment performance, in terms of attaining the stated objectives of the particular products and in terms of fund yields and total returns, advertising and sales promotional efforts, investor confidence and type and quality of services.
Regulatory Matters
Federated and its investment management business are subject to extensive regulation in the United States and abroad. Federated and the Federated Funds are subject to Federal securities laws, principally the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act, state laws regarding securities fraud, and regulations promulgated by various regulatory authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). Federated is also affected by the regulations governing banks and other financial institutions and, to the extent operations take place outside the United States, by foreign laws and regulatory authorities. Changes in laws, regulations or governmental policies, and the costs associated with compliance, could materially and adversely affect the business and operations of Federated.
From time to time, the Federal securities laws have been augmented substantially. For example, among other measures, Federated has been impacted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Patriot Act of 2001 and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted into law on July 21, 2010. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, Federated, as well as mutual funds, continue to be primarily regulated by the SEC. The Dodd-Frank Act provides, however, for a new systemic risk regulation regime under which it is possible that Federated and/or any one or more of its mutual funds could be designated by a newly created Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) for enhanced prudential regulation by the Federal Reserve Board, in addition to primary regulation by the SEC. Examples of regulatory changes that could occur are the creation of capital requirements for designated investment advisers or money market funds, and/or a change in the rules governing money market mutual fund net asset value (NAV) calculations including the elimination of amortized cost accounting, which would result in fluctuating NAVs for money market mutual funds. Certain of these regulatory changes, if implemented, such as a change to fluctuating NAVs for money market mutual funds, could have a material adverse affect on the business and operations of Federated. Other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act may affect intermediaries in their sale or use of Federateds products. Prior to complete implementation, it will be difficult to assess the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on Federated.
In addition, during the past few years the SEC, FINRA and the NYSE have adopted regulations that have increased Federateds operating expenses and affected the conduct of its business, and may continue to do so. In January 2010, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act which could impact the operation of certain Federated Funds, although Federated does not expect any such impact to Federated or the Federated Funds to be material. Other significant regulations or amendments to regulations (such as proposed changes to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act) have been proposed and, if adopted, will affect Federated and the Federated Funds, and Federated anticipates that other reforms and regulatory actions affecting Federated and/or the mutual fund industry are likely to occur.
On October 21, 2010, the Presidents Working Group issued its report on Money Market Fund Reform Options (the Report). The Presidents Working Group was tasked with studying possible reforms relating to money market funds that could mitigate systemic risk in the financial markets (including the potential for disruption in the financial markets caused by rapid shareholder redemptions in money market funds). The Report discusses the conditions that could cause money market funds to experience rapid shareholder redemptions and describes the advantages and
8
disadvantages of a variety of policy options that could reduce the risk of such rapid redemptions. The Report suggests that the FSOC examine these options as part of its implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act. At this time, it is difficult to assess what impact, if any, the Reports recommendations will have on Federated.
Over the past few years, various service industries, including mutual fund service providers, have been the subject of changes in tax policy that impact their state and local tax liability. Changes that have been adopted or proposed include (1) an expansion of the nature of a service company's activities that subject it to tax in a jurisdiction, (2) a change in the methodology by which multi-state companies apportion their income between jurisdictions, and (3) a requirement that affiliated companies calculate their state tax as one combined entity. As adopted changes become effective and additional jurisdictions effect similar changes, there could be a material adverse effect on Federated's tax liability and effective tax rate and, as a result, net income.
The federal, state and foreign laws and regulations applicable to most aspects of Federateds business are primarily intended to benefit or protect Federateds customers and the funds shareholders and generally grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict Federated from carrying on its business in the event that it fails to comply with such laws and regulations. In such event, the possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on engaging in certain lines of business for specified periods of time, suspension or revocation of licenses or registrations, including broker/dealer licenses and registrations, as well as the imposition of civil fines and penalties and in certain limited circumstances, prohibition from acting as an adviser to registered investment companies.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders, including those related to asset flows and business mix; obligations to make additional contingent payments pursuant to acquisition agreements; obligations to make additional payments pursuant to employment arrangements; legal proceedings; future cash needs and managements expectations regarding borrowing; future principal uses of cash; performance indicators; impact of accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements; concentration risk; indemnification obligations; the impact of increased regulation; the prospect of increased distribution-related expenses; managements expectations regarding fee waivers and the impact of such waivers on revenues and net income; the ability to raise additional capital; the rising costs of risk management; possible impairment charges; tax liability and the realization of deferred tax assets; capital losses; the impact of the interest rate swap and the various items set forth under the section entitled Risk Factors constitute forward-looking statements, which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of Federated or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Among other risks and uncertainties, market conditions may change significantly resulting in changes to Federateds asset flows and business mix, which may cause a decline in revenues and net income, result in impairments and increase the amount of fee waivers incurred by Federated. The obligation to make contingent payments is based on certain growth and fund performance targets and will be affected by the achievement of such targets, and the obligation to make additional payments pursuant to employment agreements is based on satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in those agreements. Future cash needs and future uses of cash will be impacted by a variety of factors, including the number and size of any acquisitions, Federateds success in distributing its products, the resolution of pending litigation, potential increases in costs relating to risk management, as well as potential changes in assets under management and/or changes in the terms of distribution and shareholder services contracts with intermediaries who offer Federateds products to customers. Federateds risks and uncertainties also include liquidity and credit risks in Federateds money market funds and revenue risk, which will be affected by yield levels in money market fund products, changes in market values of assets under management and the ability of Federated to collect fees in connection with the management of such products. Many of these factors may be more likely to occur as a result of the ongoing threat of terrorism and the increased scrutiny of the mutual fund industry by federal and state regulators, and the recent and ongoing disruption in global financial markets. As a result, no assurance can be given as to future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and neither Federated nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements in the future. For more information on these items, see the section entitled Risk Factors under Item 7 of Part II, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following performance graph compares the total shareholder return of an investment in Federateds Class B Common Stock to that of the Standard and Poors 500 ® Index (S&P 500 Index), and to a Peer Group Index of publicly traded asset management firms for the five-year period ended on December 31, 2010. A comparison to a broader industry index, the S&P 1500 Asset Management & Custody Banks Index, is also included and will in subsequent years, replace the Peer Group Index. The change in indices is being made in order to compare the total return performance of Federated to a broader group of peer industry companies using a published industry index. All companies in the current Peer Group Index are included in the broader S&P 1500 Asset Management & Custody Banks Index, which currently consists of 15 companies in the asset management and custody space.
The graph assumes that the value of the investment in Federateds Class B Common Stock and each index was $100 on December 31, 2005. Total return includes reinvestment of all dividends. As a member of the S&P 500 Index, Federated is required to include this comparison. Peer Group returns are weighted by the market capitalization of each firm at the beginning of each measurement period. The historical information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Federated does not make or endorse any predictions as to future stock performance.
