We've been buying.
We've been looking at opportunities to actually add to our equity holdings because, as I said, markets is kind of on sale.
But that's hard to do because money is such an emotional thing and investing is such an emotional thing.
And if you do have a more short-term focus when it comes to investing and
it can lead you to panic and make poor investment choices at the bottom of a market.
We see it time and time again.
You know, people who firstly, more often than not, are not advised, they don't get financial advice, or people who are trying to do their own thing without financial advice, they are much more likely to make poor investment decisions at the bottom of a market.
than people who are getting financial advice or people who are leaving it to the super fund or in a life cycle kind of investment strategy.
That's a really, really good question.
Let's start at 30,000 feet.
What we're seeing in Iran, and before that, what we saw certainly in Ukraine,
what we're continuing to see in Ukraine, is symptomatic of the big, big global, big sort of global environment.
And that is we are in a multipolar world dominated by great power competition and the emergence of smaller powers also competing for influence.
Geopolitically, that tends to be an environment which is inherently unstable.
You do tend to get more frequent conflict in that kind of environment.
That's exactly what we've seen.
throw into the mix this idea that this is not a world where great power cooperation to solve problems is going to be easy to bring about.
In fact, I would say it's going to be mostly impossible.
And that when you think about things like, you know, managing things like climate change and dealing with regional disputes, you know, these sort of disruptions, if you like,
are going to potentially be more severe and more frequent.
