Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to PATRIA's fourth quarter 2023 earnings call. Speaking on the call are our Chief Executive Officer, Alex Saig, our Chief Financial Officer, Anna Russo, and our Chief Corporate Development Officer, Marco DiPolito. And we're also joined by our Chief Economist, Luis Fernando Lopez. for the Q&A session. This morning, we issued a press release and earnings presentation detailing our results for the quarter, which you can find posted on our investor relations website or on Form 6K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements made on this call are uncertain, do not guarantee future performance, and undue reliance should not be placed on them. Patria assumes no obligation and does not intend to update any such forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current management expectations and involve inherent risks, including those discussed in the risk factors section of our latest Form 20F Annual Report. Also note that no statements made on this call constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase an interest in any PATRIA fund. As a foreign private issuer, PATRIA reports financial results using International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as opposed to U.S. GAAP. Additionally, we will report and refer to certain non-GAAP industry measures, which should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable IFRS measures are included in our earnings presentation. On headline metrics for the quarter, PATRIA generated distributable earnings of $70.5 million, or 47 cents per share, for 4T23. we declared a quarterly dividend of 39.9 cents per share, equating to 85% of distributable earnings per share, and payable on March 8th to shareholders of record as of February 22nd. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Alex.

Thank you, Josh, and good morning, everyone.
