Like, my view is most asset classes, you either have to be a large generalist or a small specialist.
And the hard thing is to be a mid-sized generalist, because then you're largely going to lose to the big generalists or the small specialists.
So Ribbit, as an example, they really focus on fintech.
That's how I know them well.
That's a specialty.
They're not trying to do everything.
Or Kazakh in Latin America, they are focused on a specialty.
And they can be small.
They're not trying to do everything across the entire planet.
