I suspect that this is mostly indicative of the cost to provide such an income stream with guarantee, otherwise we'd see products entering the marketplace at a lower cost. There are some no-load and low-load products out there, but they're pretty new at this stage, so we'll have to watch and wait. I agree – the concept is great, but the cost is outrageous.
