Brendan Lynch -
Good morning, everyone. My name is Brendan Lynch. I cover several of the REIT subsectors here at Barclays. I'm joined by Emma Giamartino. She has been with CBRE since 2018, originally focused on M&A and became CFO in 2021. Prior to that, she was with Verizon in a corporate development role and prior to that [Nomura]. Emma, thank you for joining us.

Thanks for having me.
Questions and Answers:
Brendan Lynch -Yes, my pleasure. Maybe we could just start looking at CBRE as an institution. They've been in the real estate business for over 100 years. Maybe you can compare and contrast this cycle to some of those at the best?
Emma E. Giamartino - CBRE Group, Inc. - CFO
Yes, absolutely. It's a question that we think about a lot and that we're obviously asked a lot. And every cycle is different. This cycle is obviously very different than COVID. It's different from the great financial crisis. And we don't focus a lot on COVID
