Questions and Answers:
Benjamin Elliot Budish - Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division - Research AnalystLet's start with the macro question. Can you talk about how the firm is positioned for a higher inflation environment? I think we all saw the CPI prints this morning. What sort of challenges and opportunities do you see in terms of deployment, fundraising, realizations? How should investors kind of think through all these factors?
