Are, are the clients primarily retail?
And definitely, their retail market participation is significantly lower than you can see in the U.S. And I did the math, and I think at that point in time, roughly speaking, assets in ETS were roughly just 10 percent, 12 percent of assets in mutual funds and I was pretty convinced that that number was to increase significantly.
