Does your company need D & O Insurance?
Recently, a small business owner decided it was time to put a board of directors in place for his company. After several years of growth, the owner felt a board could help focus the company’s direction. Upon learning this, several people mentioned that it was prudent to get directors and officers liability insurance.
Directors, officers, and organizations are held accountable to investors and shareholders for the financial management of the company they work for. They take strategic risks for the growth of the business. Sometimes the choices they make can impact the business negatively, which can put them at risk of being sued. This insurance can be key to your business’s risk management plan.
If you are running a public company Directors and Officers Insurance could be the deciding factor in bringing on a qualified Director.
D & O Insurance demonstrates your professionalism and ensures you’ll have protection and world class representation if you and your fellow directors are ever sued.

Fed to take rates higher than previously expected; more pain ahead
BENGALURU (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve will hike its key interest rate to a much higher peak than predicted two weeks ago and the risks are skewed towards an even higher terminal rate, according to economists polled by Reuters.
That change in expectations came after the Fed raised rates by 75 basis points last week for the third straight meeting and foresaw going higher than it had previously thought to tame inflation, which is running over four times above target.
Since then, already battered global stocks went much deeper into bear market territory – a decline of 20% or more – on fears of recession and most currencies weakened further against the multi-decade high dollar.

Six-Month Update – Wealth Preservation with Limited Market Participation in a Risk-On Environment
September 22, 2022 by Herb Blank
Six months ago, I discussed ways that investors could stay invested with one eye squarely on wealth preservation in a risk-on environment. We are still in a risk-on environment where the choices we reviewed in March are still relevant.
One half of the list included five stock-based ETFs without derivatives that focus on stocks with low volatilities. These were:
SPLV, the Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF. It selects about 100 S&P 500 stocks with the lowest daily volatility over the twelve months
USMV, the iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor ETF. USMV is optimized to minimize overall portfolio price volatility while keeping other factor exposures similar to the S&P 500 Index. It follows a complex factor optimization approach to reconstitute and rebalance portfolios.
