We made the decision to partner with Focus to better serve our clients, broaden our active employee ownership, and reach our firm's full potential over the next 20-plus years. The relationship with Focus allows our team, especially the senior partners, to concentrate on the two activities that matter most -- and which we enjoy most -- investing and client service. We maintain complete control over our key functions, such as investment research, manager selection, portfolio management, client service, portfolio administration, performance reporting, and our tax and audit support services. Focus provides us with a sounding board on organizational topics, and significant resources in administrative areas of our business that are growing in scale and complexity, including cybersecurity and competitive employee benefits. Furthermore, the partnership provides us with the terrific opportunity to accelerate certain hiring plans in the investment and client services areas.
