Jeremy Ulan
Head of Investor Relations & Treasurer

Good morning, everyone. I'm excited to welcome you to today's discussion about our Private Asset business. I'm Jeremy Ulan, Head of Investor Relations and Treasurer here.

Before we jump in, I just want to read our usual disclaimer. Today's discussion may contain forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results may differ materially from what we discuss. Please review our filings with the SEC for more details. Also, you'll see on the website that we posted a presentation. It is not something we're going to walk through, but it is supplemental, and you can review it at your own pace.

Jumping in here, I'm pleased to be joined today by Luke Flemmer, our Head of Private Assets, as well as Alex Kramm from UBS, who, I think, everyone knows. He will help us moderate the discussion today.

So let me now pass the microphone to Alex.

Alex Kramm
UBS Investment Bank, Research Division

The virtual microphone, I guess. All right. Well, thanks for having me, everyone. Luke, thanks for doing this. Maybe just given that a lot of people probably don't know you that well, haven't met you, why don't we just start there? You joined MSCI 18 months ago, but you've had an interesting career before that. So can you just give us some more detail about you, your background and why you were excited to join MSCI in that particular role that you have now?
