Good morning, everyone. Thank you, operator. Welcome to the fourth quarter and full year 2014 earnings presentation for the Janus Capital Group. Before, I start this morning; let me give a little bit of unusual preamble. I’m going to say some things today about some very positive accomplishments that we’re proud of both in terms of the fourth quarter and on our full year basis. I would like to just set the tone very clearly from the top while a number of things have gone our way and we will review some very important positive developments, we’re reporting on progress rather than victory. There needs to be a sustained level of net inflows and success in the vein that we’re going to talk about here in a minute for a much longer period of time before, we’ll be feeling secure in having made the strong turn towards the company that we all know we can be. So, please take today’s comments in the vein of marking progress and in that context let me turn the page to page 2.
