These results are slightly better than the guidance you gave at pre-close. What's your take on the performance and what pattern, if any, would you say is emerging?
Well, as you say, the interim results for the period to 30 September are ahead on almost all metrics of the guidance that we gave towards the end of September. The principal reason for that is around the strong finish to the month, especially at AHL. That has continued into October in terms of a good performance for AHL and that performance is coming from bonds, interest rates and currencies in particular. So a strong continued performance since the guidance and indeed, since 30 September, is a theme which we're continuing to see and, indeed, that performance being mirrored in the GLG product range.
