What management said

Thanks, Ken. It's Erik. So I wish we controlled the decision ourselves as to whether we got placed in those areas, but we do not. That said, as you noted, we have a variety of products that are heading to critical mass. I view critical mass as $1 billion or more and we're in active dialogue with a number of distribution partners that we think will aid further what has already been good traction and good success.

So if I go to the second part of the question, what I would say was you've seen Redemptions were generally focused on credit and our international multi-strat with everything else having either no redemption activity or extremely muted activity and then you saw flows coming across the totality of the full product suite.
