In 2021, Federated Hermes continued to be among the foremost providers of actively managed investment strategies as the firm achieved record sales and solid earnings. Overall, year-end assets under management reached a record $669 billion, up $49 billion or 8% from the previous year. Federated Hermes products in long-term categories, which comprise equity, fixed income, alternative, private markets, and multi-assets, rose by 11% to a record $221 billion at year-end, with fixed income growing by 16% to reach a record of $98 billion at year-end, and alternative private markets increasing 20% to reach a record $23 billion at year-end. Equity assets were $97 billion as of year-end. Long-term assets drove 80% of the firm's revenues during 2021. Diluted earnings per share were $2.75 on net income of $270 million during 2021. For the year, gross sales of long-term strategies reached another record high in 2021, hitting nearly $70 billion, a 14% increase from 2020. As we grew assets in these long-term categories, our liquidity assets were up $28 billion from the previous year to $448 billion. EOS at Federated Hermes assets under advice were $1.6 trillion as we added 10 new clients during the year. We continue to focus on expanding our investment and stewardship capabilities while growing our global distribution footprint. In the last year, we also made a range of other significant investments in our future, from technology to diversity and inclusion initiatives that position the company for future success. To complement and broaden our existing Federated Hermes diversified solutions, we launched newly developed investment strategies last year to meet evolving customer needs. Among them, in the fourth quarter, we started our two ETFs, the Federated Hermes Short Duration Corporate ETF and the Federated Hermes Short Duration High Yield ETF. These actively managed products benefit from the experience, insights, and capabilities developed over our firm's 50 years of managing fixed income solutions for investors. We acquired the remaining 29.5% in Hermes Fund Managers, now known as Federated Hermes Limited, that had been held by the BT Pension Scheme early in 2021. This was building upon the 2018 acquisition of a majority share in our London-based subsidiary and the subsequent rebranding of our entire firm as Federated Hermes, Inc. Federated Hermes continued to employ capital to benefit shareholders last year. The company repurchased 7.1 million shares of Class B common stock and, through year-end, paid quarterly dividends to our shareholders for the 96th consecutive quarter. Four quarterly dividends of 27 cents each brought dividends to a total of $1.08 per share in 2021. Extremely low interest rates continued to impact earnings in 2021, with short-term rates still at historic lows and money market yields remaining in single digits. Significant fee waivers were again necessary in 2021 to keep certain liquidity products at zero or positive yield. The operating income impact of these waivers to Federated Hermes was -$143 million for last year. During the three months ended March of 2022, voluntary yield-related fee waivers totaled $76 million. These fee waivers were partially offset by related reductions in distribution expenses of $58 million, so that the net negative pre-tax impact to Federated Hermes was $18 million. With short-term rates moving up with the Fed hikes in mid-March and further rate hikes anticipated for the rest of the year, we estimate that the negative impact on operating income from minimum yield waivers on money market mutual funds for the second quarter will improve, such that the negative pre-tax income would be about $1 million. These estimates are based on our investment team's expectations for portfolio yields and recent asset levels, asset mix, and other factors. Revenue in the first quarter of 2022 decreased $16 million or 5%, primarily due to lower average equity assets. Yet as markets faced volatility, a slowing economy, and higher interest rates in the first quarter of 2022, investors sought haven in a variety of our equity products, including the Federated Hermes Strategic Value Dividend Strategy, which seeks to provide income by investing in companies that have a history of sustaining and growing dividends. Other strategies in demand in the first quarter of 2022 include our high yield and strategic income bond strategies, which illustrate the case for active management since the portfolio management teams seek attractive opportunities across sectors while managing risk to navigate these challenging conditions. As we manage through the challenges of 2021 and here in the first quarter of 2022, we continue to offer responsible investment solutions to more than 11,000 clients to help them grow their business. Looking ahead further in 2022 for growth, we will provide these clients with research, thought leadership, and investment strategies that have responded well in prior inflationary situations and solutions for our clients. Through it all, responsibility will continue to be central to our client relationships, our long-term perspective, and of course, our fiduciary mindset. That ends my remarks. Now prior to taking questions, I ask Mr. Germain to explain the guidelines that we will follow. We will conduct a brief question and answer period for only shareholders of the company. In order to allow for an orderly shareholder question and answer period, and to allow time to ask questions within the time allotted, we have established the following guidelines. Questions will only be taken from shareholders of the company. Please indicate to the operator that you are a shareholder of Federated Hermes, Inc., and let the operator know what your question is. A shareholder's question should not ask for information that has already been discussed. Questions related to the company and its business, results of operations, financial condition, or business plans are appropriate. Unfortunately, not all questions may be answered. If the operator could now survey for questions, we'd appreciate it. Certainly. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a question at this time, please press star one on your telephone keypad, and we will collect your question. Once again, please press star one on your telephone keypad at this time if you would like to ask a question. Please stand by a moment while we poll for questions. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, you may press star one at this time if you would like to ask a question. There are no questions in queue at this time. Well, I thank you all for attending, and that will conclude our session together, and all the best for the rest of the year. Goodbye. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This does conclude today's meeting. You may disconnect your phone lines at this time and have a wonderful day. Thank you for your participation.
