On the call, we have our Chief Executive Officer, Chris Bogart, our Chief Investment Officer, Jonathan Molot, and our Chief Financial Officer, Jordan Licht. Earlier this morning, we posted a detailed earnings presentation, which we'll refer to during the call, we also filed our Form 10-Q. If you've not already, you can find those materials on our investor relations website at investors.burfordcapital.com. Before we get started, just a reminder that today's call may contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed during the call. For information regarding these risk factors, please refer to our earnings materials relating to this call posted on our website, our filings with the SEC. We'll also be referring to certain non-GAAP financial measures during the call.
