If you own indexed universal life insurance or you're considering buying it, you've probably looked at all the index options and wondered which one to choose. In this episode, we dive deep into the data to answer that question with empirical analysis rather than guesswork. We examine the two most common index options available across IUL contracts: the traditional S&P 500 annual reset with a cap and the uncapped strategy with a spread. Using 20 years of market data, we test different allocation strategies to determine which approach delivers the best results. You'll discover why the "optimal" choice might matter less than you think, with total differences of only about 1% over two decades. More importantly, we reveal how splitting your allocation between capped and uncapped options can significantly reduce volatility while maintaining nearly identical returns to the best-performing single option. We also explore why volatility matters even in IUL contracts that have downside protection. If you're planning to take distributions from your policy in the future, understanding how to minimize years with minimal credits becomes crucial for maintaining consistent income. The analysis shows that a 50/50 or 55/45 split between capped and uncapped options produces a Sharpe ratio of 1.7, compared to 0.6-0.8 for direct S&P 500 investments. This demonstrates quantitatively why IUL serves as a non-correlated asset rather than direct market exposure. ___________________ Ready to optimize your IUL strategy or have questions about indexed universal life insurance?

Chris Miorin's path to the CFO office began in a crucible of leadership. At West Point, and later at Ranger School, he was forged in environments designed to test resolve. Commissioned shortly after 9/11, he knew combat was certain. Leading an infantry platoon in Iraq, he found himself working side-by-side with a colonel “30 years my senior.” The challenge, he tells us, was learning how to add value humbly yet confidently in an environment where everything was fluid. Those early lessons in partnership and adaptability became cornerstones of his leadership style.When Miorin left the Army, he reset with an MBA at Kellogg, which he calls “two years to really immerse in how businesses run.” Investment banking followed, where he advised some of the world's largest oil and gas companies. In capital-intensive, cyclical industries, he saw firsthand how major decisions on raising capital, acquisitions, and divestitures shaped enterprise value. “It helped me understand how finance could have that strategic impact,” he recalls.From there, corporate development and M&A roles deepened his conviction that the CFO's crucial role is capital allocation—directing resources to projects that generate the highest return on invested capital. At Ingersoll Rand, he added investor relations to his toolkit, learning how to tell a “story with numbers” that connected business strategy to investor interest.Looking back, Miorin points to four experiences—Army, investment banking, corporate development, and investor relations—as the foundation for his CFO journey. That foundation ultimately led to his first CFO appointment at SpendHQ, an opportunity introduced through his Kellogg network.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has been mandated to disburse nearly $32 million in previously sanctioned funds to private fair housing organizations, which manage the majority of fair housing complaints filed across the nation. Despite the Fair Housing Act being enacted over five decades ago, housing discrimination persists, with 2022 witnessing a record 33,000 complaints. These funds are crucial for enabling these organizations to persist in their efforts to combat housing discrimination. Charlene Crowell has more information. Interview by Chris B. Bennett.

This week on Money Matters, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group, we break down a rollercoaster stretch for investors. Stocks started the week under pressure as profit-taking set in, geopolitical headlines out of Russia and Ukraine cast doubt, and a long-awaited market correction looked like it might finally be here. But just when it seemed the rally was losing steam, Jerome Powell stepped in with a surprise: the Federal Reserve will begin cutting rates next month, with at least one more cut expected before year-end. The result? A Friday surge that erased nearly all of the week's losses and sent major indices back toward record highs.We'll unpack what this means for your money, where the opportunities lie in a shifting interest rate environment, and how to stay grounded when volatility tries to shake you off course.Don't miss your chance to sign up for our free interactive financial planning workshop, visit greenbergfinancial.com today to secure your spot.If you would like to contact us to learn more about our firm, our seminars, and our process - call us at 520.544.4909 or go to our website at www.Greenbergfinancial.com or email us at Contact@Greenbergfinancial.com

This conversation delves into the complexities of fault allocation in tort law, exploring the historical context of contributory negligence, the shift to comparative negligence, and the implications of several versus joint liability. It discusses the nuances of assumption of risk, the treatment of children in negligence cases, and the intersection of strict liability with comparative fault. The conversation also highlights the psychological aspects of negligent conduct, the economic versus fairness debates in tort law, and the critical role of legal representation in navigating these intricate legal waters.TakeawaysUnderstanding fault allocation is crucial for aspiring lawyers.Contributory negligence can bar recovery even with minor plaintiff fault.The last clear chance doctrine mitigates harshness in contributory negligence.Comparative negligence allows for proportional recovery based on fault.Several liability means each defendant pays their share of fault.Assumption of risk can limit or bar recovery for plaintiffs.Children are judged by a different standard of care in negligence cases.Strict liability can still involve comparative fault considerations.Intentional torts typically do not allow for comparative fault defenses.Legal representation is essential in navigating complex tort law cases.
In this episode of 7 Figure Annuity Sales, host Caleb North highlights two critical mistakes that can quietly undermine an agent's entire lead strategy. These aren't just slip-ups—they're foundational errors that can derail your growth if left unchecked. Many agents pull the plug on a new lead system prematurely, basing their decision on initial impressions rather than measured results. Even worse, they point the finger at the leads themselves—when the real issue could be their sales process. ➡️ In this episode, you'll learn: Why abandoning a lead system too early can kill momentum and waste opportunity The key metrics you need to track to fairly evaluate any lead source How to identify whether the real problem is your leads or your process A framework for giving lead systems a structured, data-driven trial How top producers adapt and improve instead of starting from scratch If you're serious about building a predictable, profitable annuity business, you can't afford to make these mistakes. Caleb gives you the clarity and tools to move forward with confidence.
This week on Money Matters, the market soared early on Big Tech strength but crashed back to earth by Friday. Microsoft and Meta dazzled with blockbuster earnings, Amazon beat expectations but flagged margin concerns, and Apple lost steam under tariff pressure and muted guidance.

Then came the real market gut check, Friday's weak jobs report and a surprise tariff threat from Trump that sparked fresh trade war anxiety and rattled multinational earnings outlooks.We also dive into the crypto market and the future of stablecoins, recap more earnings reports, and look ahead to what August could bring for investors.And don't miss our upcoming interactive financial planning seminar where we break down what a real financial plan looks like and how it can give you clarity, control, and confidence no matter what the markets do.If you would like to contact us to learn more about our firm, our seminars, and our process - call us at 520.544.4909 or go to our website at www.Greenbergfinancial.com or email us at Contact@Greenbergfinancial.com
