You may have heard the saying “everything in life is a negotiation.” It highlights the prevalence of negotiations across many facets of our everyday lives—sometimes with lower stakes like agreeing to an allowance with your children and in other cases much more impactful decisions that pertain to your career or that might affect long-term financial goals. If we can negotiate more effectively, it could make a big difference. But, how? On this episode of The Behavioral Divide, host Hal Hershfield discusses this question with Yale University's Daylian Cain, Ph.D., a Senior Lecturer in Negotiations, Leadership, and Ethics, and Scott Colangelo, Chairman and Managing Partner at Prime Capital. Our goal is to understand the types of negotiations we may face during our financial journey and identify well-researched and practically applied tips for potentially better outcomes.

There are obvious negative effects of financial stress—or financial constraints, in general. But how do financial constraints actually affect our decisions with money or in other areas of our lives? And while we may associate financial stress with those that have little money, anyone can feel constrained financially. For some, those constraints will be “real”, like truly struggling to make ends meet, and for others it may be more subjective, such as when one has ample income to meet necessities but may feel it's a challenge to maintain a desired higher standard of living. On this episode of The Behavioral Divide, host Hal Hershfield examines this topic with Princeton University Professor Anuj Shah and Sam Swift, CEO of TCI Wealth Advisors to better understand how financial stress manifests in individuals across the income spectrum and how we might better manage it.

Financial literacy has been found to be a strong predictor of future financial outcomes. A better understanding of fundamental financial concepts tends to lead to better decision making. Yet, the grim reality is that financial literacy among the global population is quite low. Past studies estimated that only about a third of the world are considered financially literate. But what can we learn from the latest academic research on this topic? What has the academic community found that might help to drive progress? And how do the observations and findings from real-world financial advice compare? On this episode of The Behavioral Divide, host Hal Hershfield speaks with renowned financial literacy expert and Stanford University Professor Annamaria Lusardi along with Tom Cock, Partner and Regional Director at financial advisory firm Apella Wealth, to shed light on the current state of financial literacy, why it bears our attention today more than you may realize, and what these two perspectives can offer as a guide to better outcomes for ourselves, our clients, and society at large.

There are plenty of logical reasons to devote some of our current wealth to future generations, such as supporting a better future for your family or society, the potential for estate tax benefits, and simply a common desire to build a legacy that endures beyond our lives. But tradeoffs abound when it comes to making such legacy decisions—not the least of which is how much do I want or need for myself today versus how much am I willing to give others for the future. Our choices may also be influenced by tendencies of human behavior or even our experience and feelings about legacy decisions of past generations. Do I feel like they were generous towards me, or selfish? Might that drive how I think about my own choices? On this episode of The Behavioral Divide, presented by Avantis Investors®, host Hal Hershfield speaks with Duke University Professor Kimberly Wade-Benzoni, an expert in intergenerational decision making, and Matt Hall, Co-Founder and CEO of Hill Investment Group, to examine what we can learn from both the academic research and real-world advisor-to-client experience to help us make better financial legacy decisions.

Prioritize participant experience, technology access, and clear metrics.Approach the RFP process rigorously to evaluate new technologies, services, and pricing while addressing changing plan needs. Avoid inertia from periodic reviews and use customized, goal-driven RFPs instead of generic templates.Consider record keepers with personalized, targeted communication leveraging AI for better participant engagement and outcomes. The target-date fund (TDF) search could possibly precede the record-keeper search, focusing on participants' needs for the largest plan assets first. Personalized video technology boosts engagement and outcomes.

Fear of missing out, or FOMO, is something we can face in many different aspects of our lives. Whether it's our investment portfolio, our social lives, our career status, and so on, we often compare ourselves against others and feel regret or fear when it seems like they are doing better than we are.

On today's podcast: 1) Claudine Gay is stepping down as president of Harvard University, ending a brief and tumultuous tenure marred by allegations of plagiarism and a campus controversy over antisemitism. 2) Donald Trump filed a lawsuit seeking to restore his name to Maine's presidential primary ballot after the state disqualified him over his attempt to reverse the result of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden. 3) Traders hoping that a pan-markets year-end rally would pick up where it left off got the opposite on 2024's first trading day, a session that featured one of the worst-ever concerted drops in stocks and bonds to start a year. Full transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the leadership shakeup at the top of the IVY League. Claudine Gay is stepping down as president of Harvard University weeks after her highly criticized congressional testimony about the school's handling of campus anti semitism, alongside the presidents of MIT and the University of Pennsylvania. Bloomberg's David Weston begins our team coverage. It has been sort of a firestorm for these three presidents to deal with exactly how you control and influence discussion on the campus. There were also questions that developed over time about some of the work that President Gay had done for her dissertation for her PhD, and allegations that she had improperly used sources that she did not identify. Initially, the Corporation of Harvard, which is what they call the Board of Trustees of corporation, said there'd been an investigation and they had totally exonerated her. There was no problem. But now she said, she stepped down, and I take her to ward. At this point, and at some point, a leader becomes a distraction. Bloomberg's David Weston reports this is a dramatic about face for Harvard. Claudie Gay became the university's first black president just six months ago. Well Nathan, one of Gay's harshest critics, says her stepping down is long overdue, and Bloomberg's At Baxter has that part of the story. Congresswoman Elis Stefanik says Gay in the December hearing never condemned calls for genocide against Jews as a violation of university policy. This is part of what Gay said at that December hearing. We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. Stefanica is a Harvard alum who said Gay's statements were morally bankrupt. And Bill Ackman now who's also gone after Gay posted at two sally an apparent reference to the president of MIT at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, okay, and thanks. Sticking with politics, another legal battle is set in motion involving Donald Trump's ability to return to office. S Bloomberg's Amy Morris has the latest. Trump is not just appealing the decision in Maine to remove his name from the primary ballot. He's also suing the official mains Secretary of State, Senna Bellows, who made that decision. It's another legal argument that will likely be settled by the US Supreme Court, along with a case from Colorado where a group of voters is calling for the justices to quickly step in. They're asking for that case to be expedited. They'd like a ruling by February eleventh, and we could learn whether the Supreme Court will it Dervine in the Colorado case by this Friday. In Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Amy, thanks now to the latest developments in the Middle East. A senior Hamas leader has been killed by Israel on a explosion in Beirut. Hamas says Israel killed Sileai al Rory, deputy headed the group's polit bureau, who was known as the mastermind behind its armed wing in the West Bank. Began more from a Bloomberg Silary Liebert, it's sort of a no brainer that if they had a senior Hamas leader, they could find an attack who wasn't in some underground hiding place wherever he was, if they would go after him, and Bloomberg Larry Liebert. It says aler Rory would be the most senior Hamas leader killed during the war. Turning to markets now, Karen wall Street kicked off the new year with a thud. Both tech stocks and treasuries sold off. The Nasdaq one hundred index fell one point seven percent, at benchmark's biggest drop in two months. Rich Weiss is chief investment Officer of multi asset Strategies at American Century Investments. If you look from the start of twenty twenty two through the end of twenty twenty three, cash basically outperformed most equities, maybe not the Magnificent seven, but most equity portfolios. So cash has been king, likely to be king at least for the first half of this coming year, at least, we believe American Century Investments. Rich Weiss thinks it could be a tough earning season for corporate America well. One of the biggest losers in yesterday sell off, Nathan was Apple I lost more than one hundred seven billion dollars in value after Barclay's analysts downgraded the tech giant. Bloomberg's Mark German explains the bearish view of the iPhone maker four quarters plus in a row of holiday declines. The earnings report that's coming at the end of January early February will indicate that Q one was either in line, maybe a little bit more a little bit less than the prior quarter. You have these patent situations which are likely to crop up in higher frequency now given the success that Massimo has had over the past few months. And Bloomer's Mark German notes that Apple shares rose around fifty percent to a record last year. Well, on the flip side, shares of JP Morgan closed at a record to kick off the new year. The bank's rebound from its twenty twenty two low has now pushed its market capitalization to about five hundred billion dollars. The lender's been a top performer in the banking industry following record results last year. Well Nathan investors will turn their attention for more clues on the future of interest to rates. This afternoon, the Federal Reserve issues minutes of dece meeting, and Bloomberg's Vinidel Judai reports Bloomberg Economics as the minutes could signal interest rate cuts aren't imminent, they'll fetcher. Jerome pal did strike a dubvish tone last month's news conference that officials voted to hold the benchmark interest rate target steady for the third time at December's meeting after more than a year of tightening. Next session, January thirtieth and thirty first. Also on today's US economic agenda, job openings, as well as ISM factory data. If Anny Dale, Judeace, Bloomberg Radio, Sorry, and Ethan Thanks. It's time out for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world, and for now we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, good morning, Good morning, Karen. Migrants sent mostly from Texas, have been showing up at train stops outside New York City over the weekend, sidestepping a new order limiting how they arrive. Hundreds of migrants took a detour in New York and New Jersey to bypass the New York order limiting the seat the number of arrivals. New York City and Chicago recently began restricting migrant bus arrivals, and now the crackdown spreading to the suburbs. Woodstock Mayor Michael Turner spoke at a city council meeting, we do not have the staff the expertise for the money, and that may not be the ideal. We may all wish it was something different, but that's the reality for Chicago. Suburbs in Hinsdale, Woodstock, Buffalo Grove, and Juliette taking official action now passing ordinances to find bus companies dropping off migrants without notice. Meanwhile, four ports of entry at the southern border will be reopened tomorrow. Those ports were closed because of a record influx of migrants. Officials said closing the border crossings was just a last resort to stem the flow of people crossing the border. Hospitals across the country now initiating some new policies in response to a rise in respiratory illness cases, more emergency room visits because of flu, COVID and RSV, prompting some hospitals to require prior off authorization for visitors younger than twelve years old. Duke Health infectious disease specialist doctor Cameron Wolf says, for the most part, people understands it. Ever easy decisions like people want to be able to come and visit their love ones in a hospital, but I think in general people understand. The CDC says more than half the country is experiencing a rise in COVID flu and RSV cases. Hospitals in at least ten states and Washington, DC have now reinstated mask mandates. Israel is planning to withdraw several thousand troops from the Gaza Strip. The IDF announced the move, noting the nearly three month war has taken a growing toll on the Israeli economy. The United Nations says more than eighty five percent of Gaza's residents have been displaced from their homes and the fighting has left more than twenty thousand people dead. And a messy winter storm is headed for the East Coast this weekend. Forecasters are expecting measurable snow from Washington, DC to New York and rain showers down south. Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morrison. This is Bloomberg Karen all right, Amy, thank you well. As Amy said you, we do bring you news throughout the day here on Bloomberg Radio. But now you can get the latest news on demand, and that means whenever you want it. You just subscribed to Bloomberg News. Now he can get the latest headlines right at the click of a button get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, here's John Stashaur John Karen. Just two years ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost fifty eight games. This year they might end up winning fifty eight. Fifth straight win for OKC now twenty three at nine on the season. They beat the league leading Celtics one twenty seven to one twenty three. Shay Gilgess Alexander's been on a scoring tear. He went for thirty six points. Christaph Porzingis had Boston with thirty four. Jayson Tatum scored thirty, but Jalen Brown shot only four of eighteen thirty six points for Steph Curry's Golden State Feed, Orlando won twenty one to one fifteen. Terry Rozier scored thirty four Charlotte with a win at Sacramento, John Moran twenty six points, ten assists Memphis Town San Antonio and Joe Lamby thirty one points at a triple double easy win for Philadelphia over Chicago. The Sixers were up by twenty five in the first quarter New Orleans out of twenty five point lead at halftime. Pelicans rolled to an easy win over the book for the Nets Perdue number one in college basketball and now thirteen and one boiler Makers with a big ten win at Maryland sixty seven to fifty three. Acced Duke rolled pass Syracuse eighty six to sixty six, Big East Yukon and easy win over De Paul eighty five to fifty six. College Football's National Championship game Monday in Houston, and Michigan is a four and a half point favorite to beat Washington. Both teams are undefeated, but Washington has only had one win by a ten or more points since September. They may not have running back Dylan Johnson. He got caught it off late in that semifinal win over Texas Johns Dan Shower. Bloomberg Sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Washington may have just flexed its muscles with the IVY leagues now that Claudine Gay is stepping down as president of Harvard University, comes weeks after widely criticized testimony about her handling anti Semitism on campus alongside the presidents of MIT and Penn, along with new questions specifically about Clining Gay's academic record some of her past dissertations. Meanwhile, with less than two weeks until voting begins in the Republican presidential race, former President Donald Trump is fighting to stay on a second state's primary ballot after Maine kicked him off over his actions on January sixth, twenty twenty one. Lots of political news to discuss this morning, and here to do that with us is Greg Valier, chief US policy strategist at AGF Investments. Greg, good morning. First, I want to get your reaction to the sudden departure of Claudine Gay as Harvard University. She just became Harvard's first black president in July. Now, apparently after this widely panned congressional testimony and the mounting political end donor pressure, she's out. I mean, what does that say about Washington's influence over higher education. Well, there is influence, Navan, good morning, But I think a bigger factor may have been the donor's donations were way down and applications were way down, and I think that may have had a bigger impact. Well, we did have the impact of a last Stephonica Harvard alum with that viral testimony, the questioning that she gave asking them pointedly whether calling for the genocide of Jews it violates school policy, and sort of wiggling on the answers. I mean this says something about a least stephonics clout as well, doesn't it. Yeah, two points. First of all, I think she is going to be a real player. She is already, but I think she's going to be a pit bull on these issues and she summoned to watch over the next few years. Secondly, I think that the university presidents, all three of them, were just extraordinarily tone deaf. You know, maybe what they said technically was correct, but it certainly did not soothe the issue. It just inflamed the issue. Not just that we know that the committee that brought those university presidents to Capitol Hill is expanding its investigation into some of these allegations of plagiarism against now former president Claudine Gay. Where do you see this investigation going into what's happening on these campuses. Well, I think that that is going to be fair game throughout the country, and I think it's not just these three presidents. I think it's probably a lot of other university officials that are now going to have to worry. I want to talk about the constitutional crisis potentially here with former President Donald Trump now suing to try to stay on Main's primary ballot after the Secretary of State made that move. Where do you see this going? Well, first of all, Nathan, I think it's probably ninety ninety five percent chance that the Supreme Court will take the issue. I think they have to beyond that. I think the odds would favor this court, which has three Trump appointees of six to three conservatives on the court. I suspect they would reject the argument that Trump has to be taken off the ballot. I think the Court could decide this within the next few weeks, before Super Tuesday on March five. I think that in the final analysis, Trump will be on the ballots. There is a difference between a secretary of state making a move like this and a Supreme Court like what happened in Colorado, Does that make any difference for the Supreme Court if it does come to that. It could, and there will be lots of issues debated, but I think the main one is can you quickly prove that Trump supported an insurrection? I mean that's a case that could take years, certainly many many months, and we don't have that kind of time with an election coming up. So barring any definitive ruling on the January sixth insurrection, I just don't see this going anywhere. Well, that being said, why do you think the Supreme Court would make a decision quickly if, as you say, it would take a substantial amount of time before the Supreme Court to determine whether former President Trump did indeed commit insurrection? Well, I think the Court we'll just have a cotton dried decision saying that that they don't have the jurisdiction right now to define insurrection or decide whether there was insurrection. And I think without that finding, again, I just don't think it's going to go anywhere. This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Election device. Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, SERRIUSXM, the iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

Age is a topic many prefer to avoid. But, when it comes to financial decisions, age may be something we should be thinking about. Age can certainly play a role at different stages of our financial journey. On this episode, we look to the literature as well as speak with a long-tenured financial advisor to gain a firmer grasp on how exactly the choices we make are affected by age and understand what types of mistakes we are prone to both earlier and later in life. Our first discussion is with Duke University Professor Greg Samanez-Larkin—one of the world's experts on how financial decisions change as we age. Greg speaks to his own research along with other breakthrough studies on this topic of aging. Greg highlights where younger and older adults tend to face the greatest challenges and what we might be able to do to overcome them. We also speak with financial advisor and founder of Constitution Wealth, Christopher Van Slyke, CFP. Christopher speaks to what he's observed among his client base along, in particular speaking to the value of experience and the difficulties that come with addressing cognitive decline.

While most would be happy to have more money, the reality is that more money may not lead to greater happiness for everyone. For many, living a fulfilled life goes beyond finances, so can we increase happiness and meaning in life through the decisions we make with our money today? To explore this question, we speak with UCLA Professor Cassie Holmes and an accomplished financial advisor, Joseph Janiczek, MSFS, ChFC, Chief Executive Officer of Janiczek Wealth Management. In our discussion with Cassie, we discuss her book, Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most, and her research into how wellbeing is affected by how much time we have and how we use it. We talk about how our decisions with our money may help us use our time in more meaningful ways for greater lasting happiness. Joseph speaks to how his firm has found ways to evolve client discussions towards a more holistic view of their clients' lives. Joseph shares that, through the use of creative tools, client meetings feature topics that go well beyond a client's financial picture to include aspects that matter to each individual's overall happiness.

We've all likely dealt with budgeting in one form or another, but is there any well-tested advice on how best to budget? And how does it fit into making progress toward longer-term goals like saving for retirement? In this episode of The Behavioral Divide, we get two perspectives. First, we interview wealth advisor Lowell Parker, CFP of Merriman Wealth Management, to discuss the role of budgeting within the financial plans he establishes with his clients. What we uncover on the importance of the details of those budgets may surprise you. In our second discussion, we speak with Abby Sussman, Ph.D.—a professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business—who has done a great deal of research into how individuals budget and why. Abby speaks to her findings on where people often go wrong with budgeting and what they can do about it. If you enjoy the show, please let us know by giving our series a five-star rating.

There are many sources of conflict among couples, but money may be one of the biggest. In this episode of The Behavioral Divide with Hal Hershfield, we discuss how financial decisions are made within couples and explore ideas on how we might improve them. We first speak with Scott Rick, Ph.D., a professor of marketing at The University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and author of Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships (planned release January 2024). We talk about his research into couples and what seems to work well and not so well when it comes to their finances. Next, we talk with financial advisors Stuart Vick Smith, PFS, CPA of Maxwell Locke & Ritter and Elizabeth Shabaker, CFP, CDC of Versant Capital Management on the common pitfalls they've encountered in managing wealth for couples. We also discuss strategies they've found to be successful for righting the ship to keep couples on track towards their shared goals.

Sarah Bratton Hughes is the Head of ESG & Sustainable Investing for American Century Investments. American Century is not your standard investment firm. They have embedded purpose into their core, with a focus on supporting breakthrough medical research. In the 1990s, the founder of American Century and his wife, Jim and Virginia Stowers, established and endowed the Stowers Institute for Medical Research from their personal fortune. This world-class biomedical research organization owns a controlling interest in American Century, and more than 40% of American Century's profits go to the Institute to ensure ongoing funding for medical research. In 2015 American Century and the Institute received the Financial Services Cares Award for their roles in the fight against cancer.  Sarah Bratton Hughes has been a senior leader in the finance industry for the past 15 years. Before joining American Century, she worked at JP Morgan and Schroders.  In this episode we discuss: ●      What ESG and Sustainable Investing means ●      The 3 factors that are accelerating ESG and Sustainable Investing ●      American Century's unique business and ownership model (that funds medical research)  Key Takeaways: ●      The impact American Century - and its employees - are able to have has two key components. Like any company, the first is based on their industry. As an investment firm, they create impact based on the businesses they choose to invest in. This can be positive or negative. On a basic level, investments act as a vote for the type of companies that will be around in the future. With the American Century focus on ESG and Sustainable Investing, they are including not just financial returns, but social and environmental returns in their investment approach.  By doing this, the company is voting with its investments to shift what business looks like in the future. ●      The second component is something most companies don't think about or innovate around. It's their unique business structure. The way Jim and Virginia Stowers restructured the ownership model of American Century to establish a sustainable funding mechanism for medical research that supports their values and benefits society. How a business is owned and structured has an enormous impact on the role it plays in society. Ownership models are an area that's ripe for disruption. A more recent example is Patagonia. In 2022 Patagonia made Earth the only shareholder when the Chouinard family transferred all ownership to two new entities: Patagonia Purpose Trust and the Holdfast Collective. With this ownership move, every dollar that is not reinvested back into the company will be distributed as dividends to protect the planet. How would your relationship with your job change, if you knew its success was funding what you value most? ●      There's a lot of work to be done around changing the way we measure the success of an investment, and equally, the way we measure the success of a company. Collectively, we don't have the measurement systems nailed down yet for ESG. This will take time. A lot of organizations are innovating new approaches.  It's important to find ways to come together and collaborate,  to share what's working and what's not working, and to establish best practices. We don't have the luxury of time for each company to invent the wheel from scratch.

Inflation has been rising steadily since the beginning of the year and is now at a level considered concerning by many economists. And while the Fed has been raising interest rates to keep inflation in check, it is becoming increasingly difficult. With inflation remaining stubbornly high, many believe a recession is becoming increasingly likely. What does this mean for the fixed-income market and the bond market? In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Colleen Ambrose, Director of Fixed Income Markets at Capital Group. Colleen has 35 years of industry experience and has been with Capital Group for two years. Before joining Capital Group, Colleen was a portfolio manager at Bank of America. Before that, she was a fixed-income client portfolio manager at American Century Investments. Colleen holds the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation and is a member of the CFA Institute, the CFA Society of Chicago, and Women Investment Professionals.  Colleen talks with Rusty and Robyn about her outlook for fixed income, the bond market, and the headwinds in the economy, including inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and a potential recession. Key Takeaways [02:34] - Colleen's professional background and what she does at Capital Group. [04:29] - What Women Investment Professionals is all about. [05:27] - Colleen's advice to investors in light of global financial market events. [07:54] - Capital Group's outlook on inflation.

[22:35] - Colleen's recommendation for content. Quotes [04:05] - "I love being that point person between our investment team and the end user clients to help them optimize what they're doing with their fixed income. Fixed income can be archaic and complex to understand. I like putting it in user-friendly terms to help people understand the messaging and move forward the right way." ~ Colleen Ambrose [10:39] - "We're not there yet. But 2023 is likely to see a recession, potentially a global recession. The U.S. will be slowing from the impact of Federal Reserve hikes and higher inflation. In terms of the employment landscape, we start to see layoffs in the economy that could impact things." ~ Colleen Ambrose [22:01] - "In the real world, you learn so much by doing. I equate learning about the bond market or financial markets to being plopped down in the middle of a foreign country, not knowing the language. And every day, you have to get up and learn the language." ~ Colleen Ambrose Links  Colleen Ambrose  Capital Group Walking On Sunshine Women Investment Professionals Bloomberg The Wall Street Journal The Economist Connect with our hosts Rusty Vanneman Robyn Murray Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts 2145-OPS-11/8/2022
