The other thing I would say is we came into Q1 with some tailwinds from our expense management exercises. So things that we executed either at the late part of Q4 or the early part of Q1 where we saw some decreases in compensation related to that. Those are things like some realignment within our marketing teams, continued execution against our sourcing strategy where we've looked at certain capabilities where we can leverage vendors, and also rationalization of our real estate footprint.

So we did say, as part of my prepared remarks, that we have had this broad expense management program that we've been executing. We're a few months into it. Obviously, we've seen some good success already in terms of our ability to execute into the third quarter. We have set the plans in place such that we would be able to have our controllable expenses, which as a reminder make up about two-thirds of our expense base, grow in the low single digits in 2026 and 2027. So there are a series of plans that we're continuing to execute. I'd highlight the ones that we've done thus far this year. Number one, we did the reduction in force in July. Number two, we've been refining our sourcing strategy, particularly in technology. And that's just executing in-house where we're differentiated and looking at using third parties where it makes sense to leverage scale and capabilities to better support our clients. And then third, as you mentioned, our real estate portfolio is That will take some time to execute. The largest piece of which though is the Owings Mills campus change that I mentioned in my prepared remarks.
