Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Second Quarter 2012 Conference Call of Deutsche Bank. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the conference over to Joachim Müller, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir. Joachim Müller: Yes, good afternoon, and good morning to all of those calling from the Americas. This is Joachim Müller from Investor Relations. And on behalf of Deutsche Bank, welcome to our second quarter conference call. Let me start by saying that our Co-CEOs, Jürgen Fitschen and Anshu Jain, have decided to join this call to give you a first-hand update on our ongoing 100-day strategic review and discuss some of the key things emerging from that process. To be clear, this is still work in progress. We will give you more detail of the results in September. Anshu and Jürgen will then hand over to our CFO, Stefan Krause, who will lead you through the Q2 results and take questions relating to those results, as usual. Please understand that if you have questions on the longer-term strategy, there will be an opportunity to put all of these in September, so we suggest focusing your questions today on the second quarter results. Please note the cautionary statements with regard to forward-looking statements at the end of the presentation. With that, let me hand over to our co-CEO, Jürgen Fitschen. Jürgen Fitschen: Second quarter results call. Anshu and I took charge 60 days ago. We are just over halfway through the 100-day strategy review, which we launched on June 1. The process is going extremely well. It has included broad involvement of employees and other stakeholders. At the 100-day mark, on schedule, we'll have significant progress to report to you on many fronts. So today, we are pleased to announce an investor day on the 11th of September in Frankfurt, to which you are cordially invited. As you also know, Anshu and I have a division of labor of the CEO task between us. It is agreed that the CEO dialogue for the analyst and investor community will be led by Anshu. Accordingly, I suggested that Anshu gives you an interim progress report on our strategy review. Let me now hand over to him. Anshu?
