Firms and regulators have had a long and, pardon the pun, complex relationship with these products. We've been talking about the evolution and regulation of complex products for many years. While our discussions may have intensified recently in the current low-yield environment, I recall similar conversations as early as the 1970s, when I was at the SEC.
