That goes back, I think the families that do the greatest over a long period of time have a very strong governance structure.
Yeah, and it's easier said than done.
I mean, a lot of families in particular don't necessarily have that came from Cambridge endowment and...
I think some of the, there's a lot of things that were great about that path for me, but like seeing like true governance and action and trying to apply that at a family as part of what I tried, have been trying to do.
But that said, a family also has an advantage of being nimble and you don't want to overdo.
There's some bureaucracy and box checking in those processes.
And so it's something finding the sweet spot, the endowment model, going back to that, like
I don't love setting targets and making the benchmark the way that the endowment model traditionally does it.
We've gotten rid of that.
But still needing a framework where you have an honest, transparent way of quantifying what expectations are with your client is just, I think, incredibly important.
Because, yeah, I mean, I think unless you do that, then you're always toggling between absolute and relative judgments.
You have to have a benchmark.
Totally.
I mean, we have frameworks for a lot of different layers of what we do.
The more you can be transparent as a team and document things of the best of your thinking that continues to evolve, of course.
But I just think being on the same page, and this is the advantage of good thoughtful families.
I mean, you have a very small group of people that are making the decisions.
And if you do it well, you could kind of be, you're at the same time being very honest
disciplined about what you're doing because you've thought these things through, prepared mind, all that stuff.
But you can make it happen quickly if the opportunity comes.
