So it's easier for the providers to simply do a sample.
Exactly right.
And then they would physically hold, well, for those that are physically holding the underlying stock, they would physically hold those X number of the 2000, for example.
As I said, from where we sit as ETFs, we don't do that.
None of our indexes are large enough where we need to do it.
on the equity side that we have to.
So, you know, we're sort of fortunate in that position at the moment, but not so that we won't need to do any index sampling in the future.
