1. Are clients seeking to make their structures simpler or more complex? Why?

In some respects, we are certainly seeing clients with structures that are simpler than in the past. And a large part of the reason for that is we are seeing, in some cases, less number of vehicles used, because issues of transparency are much more important and fewer vehicles often assist in the transparency issue. But in another very important sense, we're seeing structures which are more complex than ever before. And that's because the regulatory environment is more challenging and clients are, in many cases, much more sophisticated and therefore have greater level of demands, which require a degree of complexity in their documentation. They often have competing demands, whether it be for issues with control versus asset protection, and that adds, in many cases, to the complexity.
