Well, again, I do think that it is now a more mature market, it's much more robust on that front. Because in the past, when it's just mainly retail, I mean, the base was a lot of retail.
Richard Teng
But when you have, you know, institutions, corporates, and in many instances, sovereigns coming to play, they have different investment appetite, they have different investment thesis, horizon, and that, you know, uh, adds to the diversity of different areas of investment and how the investment dimension changes on that front.
Richard Teng
So it's quite interesting to see all those dynamics coming into play, and that makes for a much better and much healthier marketplace.
