Thank you and welcome to the Cohen & Steers' second quarter 2015 earnings conference call. Joining me are Chief Executive Officer, Bob Steers; Executive Chairman, Marty Cohen; our President, Joe Harvey; and our Chief Financial Officer, Matt Stadler.

Before I turn the call over to Matt, I want to point out that during the course of this conference call we may make a number of forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and there are important factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in these statements.

We believe that some of these factors are described in the Risk Factors section of our 2014 Form 10-K, which is available on our Web-site at cohenandsteers.com. I want to remind you that the Company assumes no duty to update any forward-looking statements.
