Can you tell us, I think most people are unfamiliar with this, so can you maybe take it from the top? What is exchange fund replication? Why is it not an exchange fund? What's ideal about it? Who's the right investor for it? Maybe just take it from the top.

Eric MetzGUEST
It's one of the better value propositions, I think, that we've brought to market, right? So if covered calls are the most ubiquitous thing in the derivatives options overlay landscape, exchange fund replication is probably the most nuanced, but it also requires education, but it's got the highest order value.

Eric MetzGUEST

Eric MetzGUEST
What is an exchange fund? It's a private fund where an asset management will aggregate like individuals with different securities, and they'll try to build a diversified portfolio where everybody contributes their security in kind.

Eric MetzGUEST
And the huge value prop that an exchange fund delivers is that you rid yourself of your concentrated low basis security and you gain diversification.
