Thank you, Lily. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for our first quarter 2023 earnings call. The first quarter of 2023 was transformational for AlTi. We entered the public markets through the completion of our business combination on January 3 and in parallel, we strengthened our balance sheet with a $250 million credit facility. For a brief summary of our Q1 performance on a consolidated basis AlTi generated revenues of $58 million, adjusted EBITDA of $11 million and ended the first quarter with $67 billion in assets under management and advisement. Our net loss for the quarter was $90 million, reflecting large one-off items related to the transactions and non-cash fair value changes totaling $89 million. Normalized for these unusual items, adjusted net income attributable to AlTi was $1.3 million or $0.02 a share. Since the [Technical Difficulty] year-end 2021, shortly after announcing the deal, we've grown our total assets by 12% generated steady growth in our wealth management business and our alternative strategies outperformed their competitive benchmarks in a historically challenging a backdrop. Later in the call, I'll provide more details on our financial performance, but I will say clearly, we still have work to do and as a management team, we have established a clear path for value creation for 2023 and beyond. We're centralizing our operations and business development teams to enhance top line growth, addressing our cost structure to expand margins, and executing on strategic acquisitions that will accelerate our business in the years to come. We're excited about this strategic pipeline of opportunities, and we look forward to this next phase of growth. Before diving deeper on that path, I do want to reintroduce the firm to our public, shareholder constituents. AlTi has two business lines, a global wealth management platform…

Thank you, Mike. We have now concluded our first operating quarter as AlTi and senior leaders have spent a lot of time visiting our offices worldwide. In January, we began a global analysis to assess the best ways optimize our platform. This review has been guided by the following principles. First, leverage our competitive advantages and collaborate to accelerate organic growth. Second, achieve organizational efficiencies and right size our cost structure. Third, execute accretive acquisitions to generate top line momentum. And lastly, to streamline our capital structure. I'll provide more color on each of these. We believe a key to our success will be consistently generating organic growth. Both our wealth and our asset management businesses generate recurring revenues, which are foundational to AlTi and we will continue to invest in growing these revenue streams. Our wealth management business will benefit from industry consolidation within our core markets across the United States, Europe and Asia, as well as the tailwinds we laid out earlier in the call. As a global multifamily office with centralized operations we are uniquely positioned to serve the increasing client demand for cross border solutions. AlTi is able to provide local services, preserving the feel of an independent family office, combined with the resources and investment depth of a global organization. Within asset management, we will continue to build innovative solutions focused on alternatives in real estate, which will generate recurring revenues from committed long-term capital basis. Our focus on making growth equity investments into specialty managers is a differentiator. Our global presence in decades of operation position us well to be a destination for talent in years to come. As we invest into our strengths, we may exit non-core assets to generate capital to recycle into our strategy. Turning now, to organizational efficiencies and cost…

Thank you, Kevin. I want to note that our results are presented as a comparison between predecessor and successor companies. As required by the accounting guidelines. In our case, Tiedemann and Wealth Management Holdings is the predecessor company and AlTi is a successor. As such the year-over-year results are not directly comparable. In the first quarter, AlTi’s AUM and AUA increased 3% sequentially to $67 billion, reflecting a strong performance in the Wealth Management business. Wealth Management experienced a 7% quarter-over-quarter increased to $46 billion driven by new business wins, inflows from existing clients and market performance. Our business development efforts generated more than $1 billion in new client flows and we benefited from approximately $600 million in incremental assets from existing clients. The positive performance of both equity and fixed income markets in the first quarter also contributed to the asset growth. In asset management, AUM and AUA declined 6% sequentially to $21 billion, reflecting the divestiture of certain assets in the U.K. public real estate business and a reduced NAV reflecting the weakness in the public sector real estate. This is partially offset by stable flows and positive performance in the alternatives platform, and all the strategies remain above their high watermark preserving their earnings power. In total, AlTi generated revenues of $58 million in the first quarter. Revenues in our Wealth Management division, which consists entirely of recurring management and advisory fees, were $31 million for the quarter. In Asset Management, revenue was $27 million of which two-thirds were recurring. On a consolidated basis 84% of AlTi's total revenue in the first quarter was from recurring fees, which include management and advisory fees, as well as the management fee component from our GP stakes and alternative business. Our global team is intently focused on growing our recurring…

Thank you. At this time we will be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from the line of Wilma Burdis with Raymond James. Please proceed with your question.

Hello. Good evening. Quick question for you guys on the float, so the float looks like it's on track for 22%. It sounds like the pipe shares were registered, and then that also benefits somewhat from the warrant -- the warrant exchange program. Could you give us a little bit more detail on the war exchange program? And is it still ongoing? What's kind of the goal there?

Hi, Wilma. Thank you. This is Mike and thank you for your interest in AlTi. Yes, the warrants program is ongoing. The exchange is ongoing as well as we're continuing to prepare for the filing of the S1. So we’re anticipating that to be in the second quarter. And yes, 22% is the total free float once both are complete.

Are the pipe shares trading at this time or maybe I misunderstood?

No. They're not trading at this time.

Not yet. Not yet. Okay. Got it. And then could you talk a little bit about the EBITDA margin, I think it's 19%. Just talk about how that compared to your expectations. And it hopefully, I guess just give a little color on when we should expect the AlTi working through some of the public company costs?

Yes. As -- when we think about the investment that we've continued to make in public company costs and operating as a global business the offsets really are through the synergies. And so when you think about the timeframe of cost synergies running through the system, it's a combination of system synergies plus streamlining of functions across the firm and across various locations. So we are intently focused on executing that. And it's also -- it's hugely important as a human capital company to make sure that you're thoughtful that you do that in a measured and precise manner. And so that's really with a 90-day review came into play. But we are -- we sort of assume this is the beginning of that process and the beginning of the improvement of that. We've been making as we mentioned in our remarks, investments in public company infrastructure over the prior 15 months really without the benefit of being public and being able to synthesize three businesses into one and the cost structures of three into one.

Thank you. And then just if you could talk about the 1.7 client inflows and wealth management. I guess, does that include the $1 billion the acquisition of AL Wealth Partners? And how did that how did that hold? Oh, no. No. It's in…

No. It doesn't be -- yes, no AL just completed in the beginning of Q2, this was actual new net client wins, as well as additional client additions. So we've had appeared and I will say if you've ever been trying to generate new business, while undergoing any, kind of, corporate combination that is a headwind that you face. So we're extremely proud of what our team was able to accomplish given all of that not to mention listing in the process. So this is has been a real achievement by the business development team. And then also a statement that clients and prospective clients see the capabilities we have as a global firm and all the resources that we have to work with them and serve them.

And Wilma, this is Christine Zhao. Just to give a little bit more data support to which Mike described. The new client acquisitions continue, we continue to see very strong momentum. This quarter actually, we had over $1 billion alone from new client acquisition across our Global Wealth Management platform. And we also have existing client inflows, net inflows about $600 million and very low attrition. So really demonstrates the resiliency of our global wealth platform.

Great. And then last one for me, if you can get some color on the investment in the core funds in the asset management side. That would that would be great.

So the investments in the two transactions?

Oh, sorry. Just if you could just talk about the investment performance and some of the funds in that investment?

Performance. Sorry. Yes, so just looking back at 20 22, this the alternative platform for principal funds, we had exceptional years and obviously a very challenging backdrop. Three of the four were positive. The lowest performing was down 31 basis points against a marketplace of Asia credit that was down mid-teens to 20s depending on the index. So substantially solid and then also another example of the risk management capability of these teams. And then in the first quarter, all four strategies are positive as well anywhere from about 50 basis points to 2.5%.

Okay. Thank you very much.

And we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. And therefore, I will now turn the call back over to CEO, Michael Tiedemann for closing remarks.

Great. Thank you, Shamaley. If there are further questions and I imagine there might be, we invite the contact us with any of the questions that you have or schedule follow-up calls. And I'd be remiss not to thank our clients once again across the entire firm. And very importantly, the AlTi team members and employees, who have continued their hard work and dedication to the clients we serve and also to the firm. The management team is obviously confident that we have the right initiatives in place in order to execute our growth strategy, achieve margin expansion and deliver long-term shareholder value for years to come. And we look forward to giving you -- providing you with Q2 update later this summer. And with that, we'll say goodbye. Thank you.

And this concludes today's conference, and you may disconnect your line at this time. Thank you for your participation.
