BlackRock Employees Swap Their Suits for Lycra in 3,200 Mile Cycle Charity Challenge

BlackRock Employees Swap Their Suits for Lycra in 3,200 Mile Cycle Charity Challenge

Prostate Cancer Charity

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 12 September 2011

The gruelling US ride, will see the city workers clocking up between 250 to 300 miles per day in their bid to reach the Big Apple. The ride looks set to be the toughest challenge yet for Paul, David, Justine and Lee, who are all keen riders. To meet the challenge they will be riding unsupported in relay with one rider on the road at a time, with the three other team mates following in an RV. The team will be relying solely on each other for driving, navigation, and bike repairs.

Triple Olympic Medallist and Double World Champion cyclist, Rob Hayles, has backed the brave quad and had this special message for them as they make last minute preparations for their epic charity cycle ride: “I wish Paul, Lee, Justine and David all the very best of luck on their cycling challenge for The Prostate Cancer Charity. I’m used to riding with a full support team but these guys will be doing it all on their own, so I’m hoping they’re all skilled in sports massage, as I think they might need it after the end of each punishing day clocking up the miles! Joking aside, riding from San Francisco to New York is no small feat, so hats off to them for taking to two wheels to raise funds for such a great cause. I only wish I could be there with them.”

The extreme cycling challenge is the final fundraising feat for BlackRock, who picked The Prostate Cancer Charity as their Charity of the Year. Since the partnership began last June, employees at the asset management firm have raised more than £200,000 through a variety of events. The team hope this final challenge will increase the figure to a record breaking £230,000.

Paul Meyers, Director, Business Operations at BlackRock said: “The idea for the US ride came about over a coffee machine conversation that David and Lee were having, and with a glint of madness in the eyes a team was put together. After many months of planning, it’s now only days before we begin our epic journey. None of us know how we will feel when we finish but if we can raise some money for a great cause, that’s enough to keep me in the saddle.”

The Prostate Cancer Charity’s Director of Fundraising, Mark Bishop said: “BlackRock have truly embraced the partnership with us and have gone over and beyond the call of duty with their fundraising efforts. They have raised an incredible amount of money for the Charity – more than any other group in the UK. We are hugely grateful to all of BlackRock’s employees who have got involved, especially Paul, David, Justine and Lee who are going to extraordinary lengths to support us. We wish them all the best of luck, just thinking about their ride makes me feel tired!”

Robert Kiyosaki Shares Investing Strategies on Jason Hartman?s The Creating Wealth Show

Robert Kiyosaki Shares Investing Strategies on Jason Hartman’s The Creating Wealth Show

The Creating Wealth Show

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

During podcast episode 111 of The Creating Wealth Show, Jason Hartman interviews Robert Kiyosaki, creator of the Rich Dad series and New York Times best-selling author. In the extensive interview, Kiyosaki explains that between taxes, debt, inflation, and retirement plans, the average person without financial education will be pushed from the middle-class into the poor-class. Hartman and Kiyosaki discuss the idea of increasing financial education as the right way to protect oneself in a down economy versus investing in a “well diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds.”

Robert Kiyosaki, a self-made millionaire, cash flows more than $ 250,000 a month from his real estate investments. In the discussion with Jason Hartman, he clearly defines the difference between cash flow and capital gains, and why the average person will always try to invest for capital gains, which he compares to gambling. The show contains many ideas from his online book, Rich Dad’s Conspiracy of the Rich. Kiyosaki explains that he wanted to provide some of the background and history of money since most are not taught it in school, his take on the current state of the economy and how individuals can provide for themselves in the future.

“I always recommend getting more financially educated. You look at the people who are hurting financially today, most of it is due to lack of financial education in our school systems,” explains Kiyosaki. “If you look at the four things that make people poor every single month—taxes, debt, inflation, a retirement plan—these are the four things that make the average middle class person poor but are the very same things that make guys like me rich.”

Robert Kiyosaki is best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad—the #1 personal finance book of all time—which has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. Rich Dad titles hold four of the top ten spots on Nielsen Bookscan List’s Life-to-Date Sales from 2001-2008 alone. Robert has been featured on shows such as Larry King Live, Oprah, The Doctors, Bloomberg International Television and CNN.

Jason Hartman’s Creating Wealth Show has featured many recognizable names in recent years including Harry Dent (The Great Depression Ahead), Michael Gerber (The E-Myth Revisited), Thomas Sowell (The Housing Boom and Bust), Thomas Woods (Meltdown), Pat Buchanan (author and presidential candidate), Michael Munger (gubernatorial candidate, North Carolina), Addison Wiggin (Empire of Debt with Bill Bonner) and many others. The Creating Wealth Show is available for free on http://www.JasonHartman.com/radioshows or the iTunes store—offering investment strategy advice to those who wish to be financially independent through income property investing.

American Century Growth Portfolio Closes

American Century Growth Portfolio Closes

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) September 01, 2011

American Century Investments announced it has closed its nearly $ 14 billion American Century Growth strategy — comprised of American Century Growth, American Century Focused Growth and VP Growth — effective Aug. 31.

The decision to close the strategy was made in the best interest of clients, according to Enrique Chang, chief investment officer of American Century Investments. “We wanted to preserve Growth’s ability to stay true to its time-tested investment strategy,” Chang said. “We also wanted to sustain its ability to meet its goal of generating strong long-term performance for our current clients and investors. The Growth strategy represents a disciplined investment strategy founded upon well researched, proven, effective components.”

American Century Growth’s management team targets large companies that exhibit improving fundamental business characteristics and relative stock price strength compared with the broader market. Clients who already held accounts in the strategy prior to 3 p.m. CST Aug. 31 may continue to make subsequent investments and reinvest dividends. Clients who did not hold accounts in the Growth strategy prior to its closing but are still interested in investing in a large cap growth offering may consider American Century Select or American Century Ultra®.

American Century Investments is a leading privately-held investment management firm, committed to delivering superior investment performance and building long-term client relationships since 1958. Serving investment professionals, institutions, corporations and individual investors, American Century Investments offers a variety of actively managed investment disciplines through an array of products including mutual funds, institutional separate accounts, commingled trusts and sub-advisory accounts. The company’s 1,300 employees serve clients from offices in New York; London; Hong Kong; Mountain View, Calif. and Kansas City, Mo. James E. Stowers Jr. is founder of the company. Jonathan S. Thomas is president and chief executive officer and Enrique Chang is chief investment officer. Through its ownership structure, more than 40 percent of American Century Investments’ profits support research to help find cures for genetically-based diseases including cancer, diabetes and dementia.

American Century Investment Services, Inc., Distributor.

People should consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, and charges expenses carefully before they invest. The fund’s prospectus or summary prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting americancentury.com contains this and other information about the fund, and should be read carefully before investing.

Investment return and principal value of security investments will fluctuate. The value at the time of redemption may be more or less than the original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Because this fund is non-diversified, a price change in any one security may have a greater impact than would be the case if the fund were diversified. In addition, the fund’s non-diversification may result in high portfolio turnover that could result in increased commission costs, affecting the fund’s performance, as well as capital gains tax liabilities to the shareholder and potentially high price fluctuations.

The VP Funds are managed by the same management team using the same objectives, approach, and philosophy as the retail fund. The VP portfolios are managed in a manner that under normal circumstances should produce similar performance. However, it is important to note that there are additional fees and charges assessed with investments in variable insurance products, those charges are disclosed in the separate account prospectus. The fees and charges will reduce returns when compared to that of the retail fund. There is no guarantee that the management team will achieve the same or similar performance in the future.

SunGard?s Asset Arena Transfer Agency Releases Enhancements for Mutual Fund Cost Basis Reporting

SunGard’s Asset Arena Transfer Agency Releases Enhancements for Mutual Fund Cost Basis Reporting

Lombard, IL (PRWEB) October 10, 2011

SunGard’s Asset Arena Transfer Agency, a shareholder recordkeeping solution that helps streamline the management of mutual fund investor accounts and transactions, has been optimized for the upcoming IRS Cost Basis Reporting guidelines. Customers can now pro-actively prepare for the regulation’s January 1, 2012 effective date.

The open architecture, Java-based module helps customers meet the high-volume trading needs of asset managers and can integrate with other record keeping solutions. Asset Arena helps customers control when cost basis must be tracked, designate default methodologies, and set accounts to other designations. Asset Arena also offers unlimited historical tax lot data management to handle instances where tax lots may be stored for decades, prior to redemption. In addressing the requirement to move beyond the current mutual fund standard of Average Cost, the solution offers flexibility in supporting more than ten cost basis calculation methods including Average Cost, FIFO, and Specific Identification. Customers will be able to offer a comprehensive, single view of hypothetical calculations to help make the best tax lot depletion decisions, assisting both call center employees and self-service shareholders using Web portals.

In addition, Asset Arena is fully integrated with DTCC’s Cost Basis Reporting Service (CBRS) for mutual funds. CBRS, a service offering of DTCC Solutions LLC, helps centralize and automate the transfer of customer cost basis information from one firm to another, helping fund companies meet their regulatory requirements in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

“SunGard’s enhancements are key to the preparations we are making as transfer agent for our U.S. Registered Mutual Fund clients to meet the new and complex Cost Basis Reporting requirements that are effective in 2012,” said Barbara Nelligan, U.S. Registered Funds product manager at Northern Trust. “SunGard has worked closely with service providers on the development of Asset Arena to help ensure that cost basis data for newly covered shares in mutual funds integrates effectively with 1099 reporting systems.”

“Transfer agents rely on SunGard technology to help comply with regulatory requirements and deliver higher levels of service,” said Mark Judah, senior vice president and managing director of SunGard’s Asset Arena Transfer Agency business unit. “In advance of the new cost basis mandate, Asset Arena customers are well-positioned to address this challenge through enhanced capabilities including tracking through multiple methods, integration with industry networks, and upgrades to our servicing tools and Web portals.”
