Thanks, Jill. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us today. Q3, I am very happy to report, Q3 was a strong quarter for Onyx with continued performance across all our businesses. In our very important investing segment, net asset value per share ended the quarter at U.S. $86.95. it grew 8% in the quarter. If you exclude recent quarters impacted by the pandemic, this was actually our highest rate of growth since 2013. Across our platforms, we're executing on opportunities with accelerated pace, and we still see lots of potential ahead. The strategy we presented at our recent Investor Day resonated with shareholders, and we feel confident in our plans and ability to deliver. As Bobby said, we have the right people, strategy, and culture to be successful. As I reflect on the year that's almost over, I'm proud of what our team has achieved. The level of activity across the organization has been impressive, as is the energy and enthusiasm for evolving and growing our business. We have made significant progress over the past year, strengthening our team and expanding our platform. I'm excited about what lies ahead. We're committed to delivering strong performance across all of our key metrics, including the new financial measures that we introduced at Investor Day. Results like we reported today are an endorsement of our ability to drive long-term shareholder value. just as we have always wanted to do. We look forward to more opportunities to engage with you. In the meantime, we thank you again for your continued support. And with that, I'll now turn it over to Bobby for more on the quarter.
