Contact: Elie Sugarman ir@bsig.com (617) 369-7300 Exhibit 99.1 BrightSphere Reports Financial and Operating Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2020 • U.S. GAAP earnings per share of $0.46 for the quarter, compared to $0.84 for Q3'19 • ENI earnings per share of $0.47 for the quarter, compared to $0.42 for Q3'19 • Net client cash flows (“NCCF”) for the quarter of $(1.5) billion; excluding Barrow Hanley, NCCF of $(0.5) billion • AUM of $184.8 billion at September 30, 2020 compared to $181.0 billion at June 30, 2020, driven by market appreciation in the second quarter; AUM of $140.2 billion at September 30, 2020 excluding Barrow Hanley compared to $135.2 billion at June 30, 2020 excluding Barrow Hanley and Copper Rock • Net leverage ratio reduced to 1.5x as of September 30, 2020 from 1.7x as of June 30, 2020; the Company paid down a portion of its revolver and fully paid down its seed capital facility BOSTON - October 29, 2020 - BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. (NYSE: BSIG) reports its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. Suren Rana, BrightSphere’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “BrightSphere produced ENI earnings per share of $0.47 for the quarter compared to $0.42 in the third quarter of 2019 reflecting our expense management and share repurchase activity which more than offset the impact of reduced AUM and revenue from COVID-19 related market decline in the first half of this year and large reallocations in the Liquid Alpha segment in Q4’19. Our ENI earnings per share of $0.47 in the quarter also increased from $0.41 in the second quarter of 2020 reflecting the increase in AUM and revenue from continuing market recovery.” “Earlier in the quarter, we announced divestitures of our Barrow Hanley and Copper Rock affiliates. We completed the sale of Copper Rock in July 2020 and we continue to expect the sale of Barrow Hanley to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. We expect these divestitures to enhance the company’s organic growth profile and to use the sale proceeds to further pay down debt and repurchase our shares.” “Our total net client cash flows in the quarter on a pro forma basis, i.e. excluding Barrow Hanley and Copper Rock Affiliates, were $(0.5) billion, as net client cash flows of $0.7 billion in Alternatives and $1.1 billion in pro forma Liquid Alpha (excluding Barrow Hanley) were offset by net client cash flows of $(2.3) billion in Quant & Solutions primarily driven by two sizeable re-balancing withdrawals. On an annualized revenue basis, the $(0.5) billion of net client cash flows represent revenue increase of $1.4 million as the fee on inflows was higher than the fee on outflows.” “Our investment performance remains generally stable though there are meaningful headwinds impacting our value-focused strategies in the current growth focused market.” “In our Alternatives segment, the $0.7 billion of net inflows in Q3‘20 reflect modest pickup in the pace of fundraising activity though we continue to expect pandemic- driven delay in the timing of fundraises.” “We believe we continue to be on track to achieve our targeted annualized cost savings of over $20 million by Q1’21 in our corporate center through the implementation of an affiliate-led distribution approach.” “On the capital management front, in the third quarter we reduced the borrowings on our corporate revolver to $80 million from $130 million at the end of Q2’20, reducing our Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA ratio to 1.5x as of the end of the third quarter compared to 1.7x at the end of the second quarter. Additionally, we fully paid- off the remaining $22 million outstanding amount on our non-recourse seed facility.” 1

(2) Annualized revenue impact of net flows represents annualized management fees expected to be earned on new accounts and net assets contributed to existing accounts (inflows), less the annualized management fees lost on terminated accounts or net assets withdrawn from existing accounts (outflows), plus revenue impact from reinvested income and distribution. Annualized management fee for client flow is calculated by multiplying the annual gross fee rate for the relevant account with the inflow or the outflow, including equity-accounted Affiliates. In addition, reinvested income and distribution for each segment is multiplied by average fee rate for the respective segment to compute the revenue impact. (3) Average fee rate represents the average blended fee rate on assets for each segment for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Definitions and Additional Notes References to “BrightSphere,” “BSIG” or the “Company” refer to BrightSphere Investment Group Inc.; references to “OM plc” refer to Old Mutual plc, the Company’s former parent; references to “BSUS” or the “Center” refer to the holding company excluding the Affiliates. BrightSphere operates its business through five(1) asset management firms (the “Affiliates”). BrightSphere’s distribution activities are conducted in various jurisdictions through affiliated companies in accordance with local regulatory requirements. The Company uses a non-GAAP performance measure referred to as economic net income (“ENI”) to represent its view of the underlying economic earnings of the business. ENI is used to make resource allocation decisions, determine appropriate levels of investment or dividend payout, manage balance sheet leverage, determine Affiliate variable compensation and equity distributions, and incentivize management. The Company’s ENI adjustments to U.S. GAAP include both reclassifications of U.S. GAAP revenue and expense items, as well as adjustments to U.S. GAAP results, primarily to exclude non-cash, non-economic expenses, or to reflect cash benefits not recognized under U.S. GAAP. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company refined its definition of economic net income in light of a one-time compensation arrangement entered into that includes advances against future compensation payments. The Company re-categorizes certain line items on the income statement to: • exclude the effect of Fund consolidation by removing the portion of Fund revenues, expenses and investment return which is not attributable to its shareholders. • include within management fee revenue any fees paid to Affiliates by consolidated Funds, which are viewed as investment income under U.S. GAAP. • include the Company’s share of earnings from equity-accounted Affiliates within other income, rather than investment income; • treat sales-based compensation as a general and administrative expense, rather than part of fixed compensation and benefits; • identify separately from operating expenses, variable compensation and Affiliate key employee distributions, which represent Affiliate earnings shared with Affiliate key employees; and • net the separate revenues and expenses recorded under U.S. GAAP for certain Fund expenses initially paid by the Company’s Affiliates on the Fund’s behalf and subsequently reimbursed, to better reflect the actual economics of the Company’s business. The Company also makes the following adjustments to U.S. GAAP results to more closely reflect its economic results by: i. excluding non-cash expenses representing changes in the value of Affiliate equity and profit interests held by Affiliate key employees. These ownership interests may in certain circumstances be repurchased by BrightSphere at a value based on a pre-determined fixed multiple of trailing earnings and as such this value is carried on the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. Non-cash movements in the value of this liability are treated as compensation expense under U.S. GAAP. However, any equity or profit interests repurchased by BrightSphere can be used to fund a portion of future variable compensation awards, resulting in savings in cash variable compensation that offset the negative cash effect of repurchasing the equity. ii. excluding non-cash amortization or impairment expenses related to acquired goodwill and other intangibles as these are non-cash charges that do not result in an outflow of tangible economic benefits from the business. It also excludes the amortization of acquisition-related contingent consideration, as well as the value of employee equity owned pre-acquisition, as occurred as a result of the Landmark transaction, where such items have been included in compensation expense as a result of ongoing service requirements for certain employees. Please note that the revaluations related to these acquisition-related items are included in (i) above. iii. excluding capital transaction costs, including the costs of raising debt or equity, gains or losses realized as a result of redeeming debt or equity and direct incremental costs associated with acquisitions of businesses or assets. iv. excluding seed capital and co-investment gains, losses and related financing costs. The net returns on these investments are considered and presented separately from ENI because ENI is primarily a measure of the Company’s earnings from managing client assets, which therefore differs from earnings generated by its investments in Affiliate products, which can be variable from period to period. v. including cash tax benefits associated with deductions allowed for acquired intangibles and goodwill that may not be recognized or have timing differences compared to U.S. GAAP. vi. excluding the results of discontinued operations attributable to controlling interests since they are not part of the Company’s ongoing business, restructuring costs incurred in continuing operations and the impact of a one-time compensation arrangement entered into that includes advances against future compensation payments. vii. excluding deferred tax resulting from changes in tax law and expiration of statutes, adjustments for uncertain tax positions, deferred tax attributable to intangible assets and other unusual items not related to current operating results to reflect ENI tax normalization. __________________________________________________________ (1) In July 2020, BrightSphere completed sale of Copper Rock and announced divestiture of Barrow Hanley expected to close in Q4’20. This figure gives effect to these divestitures. 30
Definitions and Additional Notes ENI earnings before variable compensation ENI earnings before variable compensation is calculated as ENI revenue, less ENI operating expense. ENI variable compensation ratio The ENI variable compensation ratio is calculated as variable compensation divided by ENI earnings before variable compensation. It is used by management and is useful to investors to evaluate consolidated variable compensation as measured against the Company’s ENI earnings before variable compensation. Variable compensation is usually awarded based on a contractual percentage of each Affiliate’s ENI earnings before variable compensation and may be paid in the form of cash or non-cash Affiliate equity or profit interests. Center variable compensation includes cash and BrightSphere equity. Non-cash variable compensation awards typically vest over several years and are recognized as compensation expense over that service period. The variable compensation ratio at each Affiliate will typically be between 25% and 35%. ENI Affiliate key employee distribution ratio The Affiliate key employee distribution ratio is calculated as Affiliate key employee distributions divided by ENI operating earnings. The ENI Affiliate key employee distribution ratio is used by management and is useful to investors to evaluate Affiliate key employee distributions as measured against the Company’s ENI operating earnings. Affiliate key employee distributions represent the share of Affiliate profits after variable compensation that is attributable to Affiliate key employee equity and profit interests holders, according to their ownership interests. At certain Affiliates, BSUS is entitled to an initial preference over profits after variable compensation, structured such that before a preference threshold is reached, there would be no required key employee distributions, whereas for profits above the threshold the key employee distribution amount would be calculated based on the key employee economic percentages, which range from approximately 20% to 40% at its consolidated Affiliates. U.S. GAAP operating margin U.S. GAAP operating margin equals operating income from continuing operations divided by total revenue. Consolidated Funds Financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP may include the results of consolidated pooled investment vehicles, or Funds, managed by the Company’s Affiliates, where it has been determined that these entities are controlled by the Company. Financial results which are “attributable to controlling interests” exclude the impact of Funds to the extent it is not attributable to the Company’s shareholders. Annualized revenue impact of net flows (“NCCF”) Annualized revenue impact of net flows represents annualized management fees expected to be earned on new accounts and net assets contributed to existing accounts (inflows), less the annualized management fees lost on terminated accounts or net assets withdrawn from existing accounts (outflows), plus revenue impact from reinvested income and distribution. Annualized management fee for client flow is calculated by multiplying the annual gross fee rate for the relevant account with the inflow or the outflow, including equity-accounted Affiliates. In addition, reinvested income and distribution for each segment is multiplied by average fee rate for the respective segment to compute the revenue impact. Reinvested income and distributions Net flows include reinvested income and distributions made by BrightSphere’s Affiliates. Reinvested income and distributions represent investment yield not distributed as cash, and reinvested back to the portfolios. Realizations and Other Realizations include distributions related to the sale of alternative assets and represent return on investments. Other activity primarily relates to the decline in billable AUM as a legacy alternative fund transitioned from billing based on committed AUM to net asset value. n/m “Not meaningful.” 31
Definitions and Additional Notes The Company adjusts its income tax expense to reflect any tax impact of its ENI adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is defined as economic net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company notes that its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by other companies. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful liquidity metric because it indicates the Company’s ability to make further investments in its business, service debt and meet working capital requirements. Refer to the reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income attributable to controlling interests to ENI and Adjusted EBITDA. Segment ENI Segment ENI represents ENI for each of the Company’s reportable segments, calculated in accordance with the Company’s definition of Economic Net Income, before income tax, interest income and interest expense. Methodologies for calculating investment performance(1): Revenue-weighted investment performance measures the percentage of management fee revenue generated by Affiliate strategies which are beating benchmarks. It calculates each strategy’s percentage weight by taking its estimated composite revenue over total composite revenues in each period, then sums the total percentage of revenue for strategies outperforming. Equal-weighted investment performance measures the percentage of Affiliates’ scale strategies (defined as strategies with greater than $100 million of AUM) beating benchmarks. Each outperforming strategy over $100 million has the same weight; the calculation sums the number of strategies outperforming relative to the total number of composites over $100 million. Asset-weighted investment performance measures the percentage of AUM in strategies beating benchmarks. It calculates each strategy’s percentage weight by taking its composite AUM over total composite AUM in each period, then sums the total percentage of AUM for strategies outperforming. ENI operating earnings ENI operating earnings represents ENI earnings before Affiliate key employee distributions and is calculated as ENI revenue, less ENI operating expense, less ENI variable compensation. It differs from economic net income because it does not include the effects of Affiliate key employee distributions, net interest expense or income tax expense. ENI operating margin The ENI operating margin, which is calculated before Affiliate key employee distributions, is used by management and is useful to investors to evaluate the overall operating margin of the business without regard to the Company’s various ownership levels at each of the Affiliates. ENI operating margin is a non-GAAP efficiency measure, calculated based on ENI operating earnings divided by ENI revenue. The ENI operating margin is most comparable to the Company’s U.S. GAAP operating margin. ENI management fee revenue ENI Management fee revenue corresponds to U.S. GAAP management fee revenue. Net catch-up fees Net catch-up fees represent payment of fund management fees back to the initial closing date for certain products with multiple closings, less placement fees paid to third parties related to these funds. ENI operating expense ratio The ENI operating expense ratio is used by management and is useful to investors to evaluate the level of operating expense as measured against the Company’s recurring management fee revenue. The Company has provided this ratio since many operating expenses, including fixed compensation & benefits and general and administrative expense, are generally linked to the overall size of the business. The Company tracks this ratio as a key measure of scale economies at BrightSphere because in its profit sharing economic model, scale benefits both the Affiliate employees and BrightSphere shareholders. ___________________________________________________________ (1) Liquid Alpha Segment’s Windsor II Large Cap Value account AUM and return are separated from Liquid Alpha’s Large Cap Value composite in revenue-weighted, equal-weighted and asset- weighted outperformance percentage calculations for the period ended September 30, 2019. 32
