Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Magellan Financial Group Limited's 2024 full year results briefing. I'm Primal De Silva, and I work in the Strategy and Investor Relations team at Magellan. Before we commence, I'd first like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and pay my respects to their elders past present and emerging.

You'll then hear from Sophia Rahmani, Managing Director of Magellan Asset Management, who will provide an update on our funds management business. Magellan's COO and CFO, Kirsten Morton will then go through our financials for the year in more detail before handing back to Andrew, who will provide an update on the business, we'll then open to Q&A.
