Since we took over the HECM actuarial review, we actually use the
Monte Carlo simulation to find out the break-even point, by calculating
expected losses as per different potential house price appreciation rate.

to be fine. But, there is also a chance that the size of the losses expands Yes, it's a very nice and intuitive session, so I am very glad to
substantially when something goes badly wrong, which would be of participate in the discussion and talk about our product. Okay, I
