Ali Dibadj

Thank you, everyone, for joining us today on Janus Henderson Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. I'm Ali Dibadj, I'm joined by our CFO, Roger Thompson. In today's call, I'll start with a short introduction before handing it over to Roger to run you through our second quarter financial results in detail. I'll then share my initial observations mind you after only about a month on the job and how we're thinking about evolving our strategy. And then following our prepared remarks, we'll take your questions. Before Roger gets into results, I want to start by expressing how please part of the Jane Henderson team. My first few weeks here have validated my reasons for joining. As I speak to you today, I'm even more convinced about the long-term opportunities ahead of us.

I took the role of CEO because I clearly saw the tremendous talent and potential in this business. I'd like to take a moment to tell you about the main reasons why I think Janus Henderson represents such a good long-term opportunity on Slide 2. I go a long way back with Janus Henderson, and it's a very special place to me. It's a people business at its core with very talented and motivated employees who are energized to win. Earlier in my career as sell-side analyst, I was fortunate to serve Janus Henderson's investment teams, where I was struck by the intellectual honesty, depth of research and focus on client outcomes. We have a true research, security selection and portfolio management powerhouse at the firm. The client service model also remains strong. I've competed against Janus Henderson's client service teams and what our clients are telling me is that we're known in the industry for over delivering for customers and distribution partners.
