Hello everyone and welcome to App Barrens. I'm Andy Surwer and welcome to our guests, Harvey Schwartz and David Rubenstein of Carlisle, which is of course a big global alternative asset management firm.

And Harvey, you're the CEO. I want to start out with you. You came to become the CEO about

23 months ago. Almost a two-year anniversary. Almost two years. And there was some management

turmoil. You stabilized that, I'm sure. What is the strategy going forward at this point?

The strategy is pretty straightforward. You know, when David called me to join the firm, obviously I knew Carlisle.

It's an iconic firm.

It's had a very unique place in financial history.

Private capital today, as you all know, is growing dramatically.

We've been growing dramatically.

We've had record assets up 17% last year record financial performance record

inflows but more importantly what is the strategy the strategy is making sure

that we deliver excellent performance across the 450 billion global

platform whether that's in credit insurance, which is our largest category,

traditional private equity, which David's one of the founders literally of the asset class solution,

or in our secondaries business. And of course, this marketplace is incredibly dynamic right now,

whether it's in private capital in the form of lending,

whether it's the wealth channel, which is literally exploding around the world and in very

early stages. So, you know, our strategy is global domination. There you have it. But I mean,

that was part of what when David met me. He said, look, you can have the job, but global domination is what I want.

I said, okay, it sounds good.

David, you like an ambitious CEO like that?

I mean, when not holding back?
