We continued to invest with Bill McMorrow from Kennedy Wilson in 2013. We invested in the Clancy Quay apartments and some well-leased office buildings in Dublin and we also invested in a U.K. loan pool. We have invested a net cumulative $305 million in real estate deals with Kennedy Wilson in California, Japan, the U.K. and Ireland – deals at significant discounts to replacement costs and with excellent unlevered cash on cash returns, in which Kennedy Wilson is the managing partner and an investor. Also, we continue to own a fully diluted 10.9% interest (11.5 million shares) in Kennedy Wilson.
