  1. With Eric Aboaf's upcoming departure as CFO during a time of significant strategic initiatives and market uncertainty, how do you plan to ensure continuity in your financial strategy, and could you provide more details on the search process and timeline for finding a suitable replacement?
  2. Notwithstanding a 16% year-over-year increase, Net Interest Income declined sequentially by 2% in Q3 due to deposit rotation and lower short-end rates; what specific strategies are you implementing to counter these headwinds and drive NII growth in the upcoming quarters?
  3. Expenses increased by 6% year-over-year in Q3, outpacing your year-to-date expense growth of 3%; can you elaborate on the factors contributing to this higher expense growth in the quarter and how you plan to manage expenses to achieve the projected $500 million in savings while sustaining necessary investments?
  4. You mentioned that lower client activity and an asset mix shift into cash were headwinds to servicing fee growth; what steps are you taking to mitigate the impact of clients shifting assets into lower-fee cash products, and how confident are you in reversing this trend to bolster servicing fee revenues?
  5. With the introduction of 20 new ETFs, including three focused on digital assets, and the partnership with Apollo Global Management to expand into private markets, what are the main risks you foresee in these ventures, and how do you intend to address regulatory uncertainties and market volatility associated with digital assets and private market investments?
