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.

Hey its Turkey day!! Happy thanksgiving everyone and like always there is always a lot to be thankful for.
Unfortunately, the state of the markets isn’t one of them. There are always diverse opinions:
From Morgan Stanley
“The S&P 500 is likely to set a new price trough in the first quarter, before jumping back to 3,900 by the end of 2023, according to Morgan Stanley”.
From the Wall Street Journal
The Nasdaq Composite, down about 1% on Monday, has lost about 30% over the past 12 months. That’s rare—but it doesn’t necessarily mean the bottom is in. In fact, it may suggest the opposite.
Another round of interest rate hikes will likely bury the economy into next year and the markets right along with it.
The big question raging through financial markets is how much more the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates.

Fed May Lift Interest Rates to 8%-9%, Economist Says
Since it began its rate-hike campaign in March, the Fed has lifted the federal funds rate by 375 basis points (3.75 percentage points), to a range of 3.75% to 4%. In September, Fed officials predicted that the rate will peak at about 4.6% next year.
But in November, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the Fed may have to go further than expectations. And now experts, including interest-rate traders, have coalesced around a forecast of 5%.
But St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said last week that the Fed may have to push rates beyond that.
Using the so-called Taylor Rule for monetary policy, Bullard suggested the federal funds rate may have to go beyond 5%, to as high as 7%.

ESG & ETFs: Between BlackRock and a Hard Place
November 21, 2022 by Herb Blank
An excellent ETF.com article was posted on September 22. “NYC Comptroller: Blackrock ESG Standards Alarming” highlighted a very public effort by Brad Lander to shame Blackrock into being more environmentally conscious. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander demands the company bolster its climate disclosures and publish a plan that establishes its commitment to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all of the assets they manage. The same article highlights the fact that BlackRock has lost accounts with state pension funds and has come under fire by no less than 19 Republican Attorney Generals who accuse the firm of collaborating politically with climate activists instead of siding with clients.
