Thank you for your comments. It is great you believe we have a "collegiate and dynamic work environment.” Just to be accurate, attrition throughout MSCI and in the vast majority of locations is at all time lows and full employee engagement according to our engagement survey is at all time highs. That said, we are working hard to create an employee culture where everyone is valued, can thrive and contribute at their very best and welcome suggestions for improvement.
