Lots of activist firms are moving away from activism. Do you think there'll be a resurgence of the practice or will it continue to shrink?
Do you engage in any distressed activism? If so, how do you perceive the more recent developments in the rx space (LMEs, lender-on-lender violence) wrt activism in the near and long term?

Thanks!
