In context
“thought were at risk loans and level of charge offs. Our view in 2024 is that we'd see a similar order of magnitude on both loans at risks and level of charge offs as well. Jimmy Bhullar: Thank you. Operator: Next we go to the line of Elyse Greenspan with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead. Elyse Greenspan: Hi. Thanks. Good morning. My first question is on the PRT side.

And most of that growth is coming from our spread and in general account business, which is actually growing at 4%, and that's coming off 2022, where we had the $8 billion PRT deal. And that growth is not just PRT. I mean, PRT was about $5.3 billion, but we're also seeing continued strength across a range of spread-based products, be they structured”
