We took the necessary actions to align expenses with revenues; we enhanced liquidity through the crisis; and we strengthened our capital position with our equity and debt capital raises. We also continued to implement our strategy to deliver sustainable, long-term growth by expanding our portfolio of employee benefit and investment offerings; adding new distribution alliances; and extending our joint venture with Banco do Brasil for 23 years.”
