And so the execution you end up getting.
In these trades is really poor.
And usually they're not, again, they're doing something very simple, very mechanical.
They're not randomizing their trades in small batches to work into position really efficiently.
They're just outsourcing execution to some agency-only broker who doesn't care at all about how it they just have to get it filled.
And they put it up way over the offer side of where the market really should be.
Yeah, I mean certainly there are, you know, volatility arbitrage type of funds like ours and like others out there.
We will work with institutional clients that are trying to do some similar kinds of things, but in an intelligent way.
And yeah, the way we execute in the marketplace is very different, right?
So we
take the same objective of the exposure we want to get, but we're going to work into it sort of passively and secretly and quietly in very smart ways and try to kind of get mid-market execution and have nobody know what we're doing.
And
Yeah, there's probably some of both.
I mean, one thing, one thing you want to do is execute really efficiently without people knowing what you're doing.
Another thing you want to do is just know what the big flows and big crowded trades in the market are, and generally be trying to achieve the client's objectives, but ideally by buying something that's getting sold too much, as opposed to selling something that everybody else is selling.
Right.
So those two components, that's a kind of a strategy design aspect.
And then there's just an execution implementation.
Aspect that's, you know, again, really important.
Mm-hmm.
