I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Kurt McAlpine, CEO of CI Financial. Mr. McAlpine, you may begin.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to CI Financial's third quarter earnings call. Joining me on today's call is our CFO, Doug Jamison, and our new Vice President of Investor Relations and Strategy, Jason Weinert. Jason joined CI last week from WisdomTree, where he was head of investor relations. Prior to that, he was a sell side analyst covering asset and wealth managers at Piper Jaffray. We are excited to welcome Jason to CI. During the call, we will cover these topics, a discussion of the highlights and challenges of the third quarter, a review of our financial performance during the quarter, an update on our sales today for the fourth quarter,

an update on the execution of select items of our corporate strategy. Then we will take your questions. We had another strong quarter as markets and our AUM continued to rebound.
