Moving to EMEA, we expect adjusted PFOs to continue to grow high single digits given the strong momentum in the business. For adjusted earnings, we expect EMEA's new quarterly run rate to increase to $90 million to $100 million in 2026, and then grow mid to high single digits in 2027 and 2028. Finally, for MIM, we expect revenues to grow roughly 30% in 2026, largely driven by the combination of PineBridge and then increase by mid-single digits thereafter. For MIM adjusted earnings, we expect to be between $240 million and $280 million in 2026, then grow 15% to 20% per year in 2027 and 2028 from a combination of revenue and expense synergies as well as greater operating leverage. By 2028, we are targeting an operating margin of approximately 32%.
