		<description><![CDATA[Federated Investors&#8217; (FII) second-quarter 2011 earnings were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results reflected decreased top-line growth, increase in voluntary fee waivers, and increased operating expenses. These negatives were further offset by a rise in fixed income and equity assets as well as higher assets under management (AUM). The regulatory backdrop, volatile equity markets and slow economic growth are anticipated to keep earnings under pressure. Therefore, we maintained our Underperform recommendation on the stock. Our six-month target price of $17.00 equates to about 11.0x our earnings estimate for 2011. We view the $0.96 per common share annual dividend as secure, implying an expected negative return of about 4.6% over that period. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Federated Investors, Inc. (FII) to Underperform from Neutral based on expected downward pressure on assets under management (AUM), flows and margins. Regulatory backdrop, waning equity markets and sluggish global economic growth are expected to keep earnings under pressure. Federated&#8217;s lowered AUM has resulted in a negative organic growth in the core business as investors are transferring cash from money market funds to higher yielding bank deposits or investments across the fixed income universe and equities. A significant reduction in money market managed assets due to changes in financial markets, including increases in interest rates over a short period of time, considerable deterioration in investor confidence, prolonged periods of historically low short-term interest rates and resulting fee waivers, could have a material adverse effect on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets continued to stay in the red as concerns over oil supplies and mounting unrest in Libya further pushed up crude prices. To add to the woes of investors, the semiconductor index was downgraded which eventually led to technology stocks sliding lower. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 8.5% to 20.68 and consolidated volumes on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and AMEX was 7.92 billion shares, below the daily average of 8.47 billion for last year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 0.7% to close at 12,090.03 and the Standard &#38; Poor 500 ended at 1,310.13 after dropping 0.8%. The tech laden Nasdaq Composite Index was weighed down to 2,745.63 and dropped 1.4%. On the New York Stock Exchange advancers beat the decliners by a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage on Federated Investors Inc. (FII) with a Neutral recommendation. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings of 51 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a couple of pennies on money fee waivers and higher operating expenses. Results reflected an increase in fixed income equity funds, fixed income assets and equity assets, decrease in non-operating expenses and a decline in the amortization of deferred sales commissions. This was partially offset by an increase in voluntary fee waivers, higher operating expenses and lower assets under management (AUM). Federated’s long-term fund performance and asset inflows are doing well, reflecting higher returns that will provide a strong support to the margins. Moreover, the company’s fixed income and equity products benefit from a strong demand in the current recovering markets. Going ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Federated Investors Inc. (FII) is on a lookout for additional expansion after completion of last year’s acquisition, its main focus being international growth. In 2008, Federated acquired Clover Capital Management Inc. and the assets of the two Prudent Bear Funds and has almost completed the successful integration of the same. Currently, the company aims at expanding distribution for its products, though it is not actively seeking acquisitions targeted to a specific investment expertise, the management does remain open to such deals as well. Federated reported third quarter 2009 net income applicable to common shareholders of $57.0 million or 56 cents per share compared to a net income of $53.3 million or 52 cents per share in the prior quarter and a net income of $56.2 million or 52 cents per ]]></description>

(FII) reported third quarter 2009 net income applicable to common shareholders of $57.0 million or 56 cents per share compared to a net income of $53.3 million or 52 cents per share in the prior quarter and a net income of $56.2 million or 52 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Results were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 52 cents due to lower-than-expected expenses offsetting lower revenues. Total revenue decreased 4.3% year-over-year to $293.6 billion primarily due to $36.5 million in voluntary fee waivers related to certain money market funds in order to maintain positive or zero net yields. Falling yields forced Federated and other money fund managers to waive fees to keep clients invested in their products. The company witnessed positive flows into ]]></description>
