    1. With your origination reaching $62 billion this quarter and annualizing close to $250 billion, are there capacity constraints that prevent you from increasing your annual origination target beyond $275 billion over the next five years, and how would exceeding this target impact the allocation among third-party, Athene, and syndication channels?

    2. Given that the sidecar vehicle ADIP's participation in new business has been less than the historical 40–45% year-to-date, what factors are influencing this lower contribution, and how do you see this evolving in the coming years, particularly in relation to maintaining Athene's dividend at $750 million annually?

    3. Considering the strong returns from Athene's alternative portfolio and the recent repositioning, is the allocation shift to have approximately 80% in AAA sufficient to maintain the expected 11% normalized return going forward, and are there any remaining steps needed to align the portfolio fully?

    4. With other asset managers reporting margin pressures due to increased payments to distribution platforms in the wealth management build-out, why aren't you experiencing similar headwinds, and could you elaborate on your expense structure in retail distribution compared to peers?

    5. Retirement services outflows improved to around a 10% annualized rate this quarter, but without visibility into 2025, can you provide guidance on how liability outflows are expected to trend next year, and whether they will remain consistent with 2024 levels or exhibit significant deviations?
