In context

owth that's been experienced in Asia, not just in Greater China. And of course, Japan, where, as you know, we have a special relationship with our partners, MUFG, who own 1/4 of the firm, but also the growth we've seen in the re-equitization of India and then, of course, the AI connectivity that exists in Korea and Taiwan.

And then relatedly, it's -- today is the 15th tax day tends to be a big event seasonally for you in your wealth business, how should we think about cash and then net new? And what the expected impact is on that this year? Sharon Yeshaya: Thanks so much, Brennan. So going first, just to cash, we continue
