Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2023 call → NO我们根据提供的电话会议记录来判断。问题询问是否管理层描述了一个可识别的、目前仍较小的产品/服务/计划,并且同时满足两个条件:(1) 客户反应超出公司准备;(2) 公司正在立即增加投入。 在记录中,Jason Gottlieb 提到了“Artisan dislocation opportunities fund”,这是新推出的基金,由 Bryan Krug 和信贷团队管理。他说“Earlier this week, we completed the first close of the Artisan dislocation opportunities fund.” 这表示该基金刚刚完成首次募集。但关于客户反应是否超出准备?没有明确说需求超过预期。他提到“We onboarded a $425 million institutional account and emerging market local opportunities. We onboarded a $250 million institutional account in global unconstrained and the high income strategy had another strong quarter of flows, bringing year-to-date net inflows to over $1 billion for that strategy.” 这些是其他策略的流入,不是针对dislocation基金。对于dislocation基金,没有提到需求超出准备。 另外,关于新兴市场策略,Jason说“While others are retrenching from emerging markets, we continue to move forward carefully and with discipline.” 但也没有说需求超出准备。 关于分销演变,Eric提到“we recently hired our first individual to focus exclusively on marketing our alternative strategies.” 这是增加投入,但这是针对替代策略的营销,不是针对某个特定产品。而且没有提到客户反应超出准备。 因此,没有明确描述一个特定产品/服务,其客户反应超出公司准备,同时公司正在增加投入。所以答案应为NO。
