Podcasts about Cayman

Right up front here, let me just state loudly that there are some amazing independent TPAs (third-party administrators) out there who have the expertise, the scrappy willfulness, and the deep desire to do right by their clients, their self-insured employer clients. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. And look, they may be facing some of the same headwinds that plan sponsors themselves face, like anticompetitive contracts, brokers who are up to no good, etc. So, just keep that in mind as you listen. And the main point of all of this if you are a plan sponsor is, find a good TPA partner, which, as Bryce Platt has said about consultants but same rules apply about TPAs here, the difficulty is being informed enough to tell the difference. So, the goal of this show is to help with that, the “be informed enough to tell the difference.” All of this being said, this is technically a Take Two; but we trimmed it down and welcome to a whole new intro. So, call this a refresher and an update about a really, really important topic from last year that is becoming extremely (maybe even more) relevant this year. Really relevant. Consider, for example, the show with Claire Brockbank (EP453) about carrier/TPA RFPs (requests for proposal) and all of the landmines that are really expensive, that are buried in some of these contracts. Then there was the Cynthia Fisher show (EP457) from last year about the millions, maybe billions of dollars in aggregate going missing in medical (ie, TPA or ASO [administrative services only]) spread pricing. We had “The Mystery of the Weekly Claims Wire” show with Justin Leader (EP433), again, revealing money that's being disappeared when the TPA is withdrawing dollars from plan sponsor checking accounts. And then there's the payment integrity episode with Kimberly Carleson (EP480) from a few weeks ago with just another wrinkle on this, namely TPAs or ASOs who insist on auditing themselves and how that turns out for members and plan sponsors. Oh, and last, but certainly not least, is the whistleblower show with Ann Lewandowski (EP476) on how a TPA arm of an EBC (employee benefit consultant) allegedly pocketed $20 million—$20 million of their client's pharma rebates—and used that $20 million to fund their executive bonus pool. What a time to be alive! All of this just highlights the huge stakes for plan sponsors to really understand what their TPA is all about. And when I say high stakes, I mean from both a legal standpoint and also just vast dollars in play here. But this episode with Elizabeth Mitchell is also, I'm gonna say, extremely relevant given just a few ripped from the headlines and news articles such as these. I'm gonna start actually with a post from Kimberly Carleson, and I like the comment by Jeff Evans, who wrote, “How does $8,710 equal $104,266?” Spoiler alert, it doesn't. Lots of missing dollars there. Someone's hands are in the cookie jar. Oh, look, the TPA has entered the chat. In a nutshell, and I'm quoting something Peter Hayes wrote, he wrote, “TPAs have received relatively little public attention. [There's an article in Health Affairs] that describes how TPAs impose hidden fees, benefit from their own form of spread pricing, and otherwise prioritize their own financial interests over those of their plan clients.” Also, here's a totally other issue. Let me quote Luke Prettol highlighting something Jason Shafrin had written about a paper by Jeff Marr, Daniel Polsky, and Mark Meiselbach. Let me slightly rephrase what Luke said. He wrote, “Employers pay, on average, a 4.7% [so almost 5%] price markup when hospitals are in their TPA's [Medicare Advantage] network.” Right? Dr. Eric Bricker talked about this in that episode (EP472) just how TPAs with MA (Medicare Advantage) business negotiate their commercial clients to pay higher rates so that then they can pay lower rates for their own MA members. As Luke wrote, “On its face, this overpayment does not appear to be solely in the interest of participants.” No kidding. Now, let's spin the wheel here. There are barriers for TPAs themselves, even the ones who have a deep desire to do the right thing. As Patrick Moore wrote, “Most TPAs still can't do [many of the things that employers might want because there are] PPO contracts.” So, is it a rock in a hard place situation? I mean, if the TPA has no other options than using a carrier's PPO (preferred provider organization) network with all its attendant contractual issues, then yeah, that is one definite challenge. Along these lines, let me read a post by Rina Tikia, because I think she sums up this really well. “When independent TPAs … push for transparency, they're blocked under the banner of ‘fiduciary risk.' “Meanwhile, the largest carriers and PBMs, with Cayman shell subsidiaries, DOJ kickback probes, [huge] hedge fund ties, [$10 million-plus] lobbying budgets, and antitrust violations continue unchecked. They are not only allowed to operate but celebrated as mainstream options. “Why the double standard? Political donations? Foundation smokescreens? Nonprofit status as a PR shield?” These are excellent questions. And here's another challenge: brokers. Ramesh Kumar Budhani wrote about this one, just how hard it is sometimes to find—for TPA, an independent TPA, trying to do the right thing—to find brokers who prioritize doing the right thing for employers and helping their clients save money. The summary of all of this: There are TPAs and there are ASOs who aren't even trying. They are going to ride the flywheel, the gravy train, and catch all of the dollars flying off of it for as long as they can manage to cling to it with all 10 of their fingers. Then there are TPAs, mostly indies, trying super hard to do the right thing. But how successful they are is going to depend on how boxed in they are by the PPO networks or the carriers that the brokers or even plan sponsors may insist on. Just how courageous they are and just how smart they are and experienced they are about the market and how it actually operates. So, the show that follows is about all of this, including how we can inspire TPAs, which, in the show that follows, subsumes ASOs kind of into it. But in the show that follows, I hope it's inspiring to create an environment so that the market demands TPAs that do all of the things, and we make inertia not a viable business strategy.

A French forbidden fruit enters the studio on this week's episode - none other than the Alpine A110. But hang on...how did this non-25-year-old import end up on US soil? And WHY is it here? === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ === Manufactures keep telling us that lightweight sports cars for the masses aren't possible to produce anymore due to rising safety standards. And yet, here we have the Alpine A110 - an incredible mid-engined, sub-2500-pound sports car you can buy brand new that can do far more than just be cute and French. In Jason and Derek's rigorous testing, they find it's compact, athletic, fast, comfortable, and premium-feeling - disappointing, it certainly is not. Derived from the original A110 which dominated various stages of motorsport throughout the 1960s and 70s, it's no surprise that Renault-Alpine knew where to reference their framework when developing this car for the European market. Jason and Derek discuss throughout the episode how the little Alpine compares to the likes of the Porsche 718 Cayman range, the Lotus Emira & Lotus Evora, the Alfa Romeo 4C, and even the McLaren 570S. It's a shame Stellantis still hasn't found a way to bring this wonderful machine on sale stateside after announcing an estimated 2027 arrival via the Nissan USA dealer network - but given current complications with tariffs, we're not all that surprised. And before you ask - yes, it's the same one you saw buzzing around Monterey Car Week and featured on The Smoking Tire w/ Matt Farah and Zack Klapman. The man who brought it here is our hero for a variety of different reasons - more on that during this episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tras décadas en las que parecía que Porsche solo tenía éxito con su 911, la marca consiguió salir de ese “agujero” y ser una de las más rentables del Mundo… si no la que más. Y en lo que va de 2025 su beneficio ha caído un 67 por ciento. No es la única: Mercedes ha caído el 56 por ciento… ¿Qué está pasando? Te lo vamos a contar, pero te anticipo algo: La crisis de Porsche es, en realidad, la crisis de Europa. Hoy, en este video, nos centraremos en Porsche como ejemplo de lo que está pasando a las marcas europeas y en especial a las Premium… que es casi como decir a las alemanas. Ya le llegará al turno a otras, pero Porsche me parece el ejemplo perfecto para explicar una crisis que no es de una marca, es de una industria: La industria del motor europea… Y ya sabéis que me gusta comenzar las historias por el principio. A Porsche le costó salir de la “trampa” que suponía el éxito del 911. Hubo varios intentos fallidos: Primero, en 1969, llegó el 914, un proyecto conjunto con VW para hacer crecer la marca “por abajo” … fue un fracaso. Luego, en 1976, llegó el 924, otro proyecto nacido para VW y que recompró la propia Porsche. Se lanzó con motor Audi-VW, un 4 cilindros “de agua” y con unos 120 CV y no triunfó… las sucesivas evoluciones 944 y 968 mejoraron mucho el coche, pero no consiguieron los objetivos de ventas previstos. Porsche, preocupada en ¡1978! porque el 911 se les quedaba anticuado se inventaron un sucesor, un Gran Turismo excelente, el 928, con sofisticada tecnología y motor V8… que ni de lejos fue capaza de hacer sombra al 911. La cosa pintaba mal hasta que en 1996 alguien tuvo una feliz idea y llegó el Boxster, un modelo con motor central y aspecto de 911, pero descapotable, más pequeño y sobre todo más barato … una puerta de entrada a la marca. Solo 6 años después aparece el Cayenne, por fin un Porsche con 4 puertas laterales, con todo lo bueno de la marca Porsche, pero en formato ideal para aquellos que querían un Porsche, pero no quería la incomodidad y falta de practicidad de un Coupé. Más adelante se presenta el Panamera, en 2009, la primera verdadera berlina de Porsche y en 2014 el Macan, que por simplificar es al Cayenne lo que el Boxster o su equivalente coupé, el Cayman, al 911: Un modelo más pequeño y más barato. La marca pasa a ofrecer modelos no solo de gasolina, sino de gasóleo, híbridos de todo tipo y con el Taycan, presentado en 2019, modelos 10x100 eléctricos. En poco más de 10 años Porsche había pasado de tener una gama mínima, a ofrecer modelos de todo tipo y motorización, pero decididamente muy Premium, caros… y que dejaban buenos márgenes de beneficios. Se puede decir que Porsche se convirtió en la “marca perfecta”, que lo hacía todo bien: coches espectaculares, tecnología puntera, beneficios envidiables… Y de repente, llega 2025, y Porsche ve caer su beneficio operativo un 67%. ¿Qué ha pasado? Crisis de liderazgo. El propio Oliver Blume, CEO de Porsche y del Grupo Volkswagen, ha tenido que intervenir directamente para intentar reconducir la situación. ¿La razón? Caída de beneficios, falta de estrategia clara y presión de los inversores.” En Porsche, las tensiones internas estallaron a comienzos de 2025 cuando el director financiero Lutz Meschke, y el jefe de ventas Detlev von Platen fueron “invitados” a salir por la puerta de atrás en una restructuración sorpresa de la cúpula. El coche eléctrico: En el ojo del huracán. ¡Como no! El coche eléctrico está en el centro de todo este lío. Si no habéis visto el video titulado “PORSCHE RECTIFICA: Más térmicos, menos eléctricos” donde cuento mi conversación con los “jefazos” de Porsche en la presentación de su prototipo Mission E, la Semilla del Taycan, en el salón de Frankfort de 2015… pues deberíais verlo. Ahora Porsche, y otras muchas marcas “occidentales” se están replanteando sus objetivos. De unas ventas de eléctricos del 80 por ciento ahora hablan de modelo de combustión y, sobre todo, híbridos. También hemos hecho un video comparando las ventajas de eléctricos e híbridos, por cierto. En GH es que tenemos de todos… ¡nos acercamos a los 1.500 videos! Nuestros políticos, ¿saben lo que hacen? Estamos dando “caña” a las marcas, pero gran parte de la culpa de lo que esta sucediendo la tiene una normativa europea inadecuada y que no da tregua. Llega la nueva normativa de emisiones “Euro 7”, super exigente, aunque menos de lo previsto, que obliga a las marcas a invertir millones en tecnologías de combustión… justo cuando todas las marcas están volcadas en los eléctricos. La Unión Europea se ha convertido en una máquina de general normativa. China, de salvavidas a lastre. Durante los últimos años, China se convirtió en un gran mercado para las marcas europeas, en especial la Premium. Pero la oferta en este segmento de marcas chinas con productos cada vez más atractivos ha provocado que, en 2025, Porsche haya visto sus ventas caer un 33 por ciento solo en el primer trimestre. Los aranceles, el “juguete” de Trump. Si en vez de al Este, miramos al Oeste… pues las cosas tampoco pintan bien. EE.UU. ha impuesto aranceles del 25% a muchos vehículos y componentes europeos. Según Porsche esta medida les ha costado unos 400 millones de euros en lo que va de 2025. Y aunque Porsche sigue vendiendo relativamente bien allí, el hecho de no tener una fábrica en suelo estadounidense, lejos de ser una ventaja, podría convertirse en un inconveniente. Otras marcas europeas ya lo vieron antes. La conclusión es clara: quien no produzca localmente, salvo que las cosas cambien, lo va a tener cada vez más difícil para competir en igualdad de condiciones. Un mundo global… ¿seguro? Europa, China y EE.UU. tienen gustos y leyes muy diferentes. No sé qué es más diferente, si los gustos o las leyes… En Europa gustan los compactos eficientes y los coches técnicamente sofisticados, en EE.UU. quieren SUV´s y pick-ups no grandes, sino enormes y en China, pantallas, karaokes, mucha conectividad y coches eléctricos de alto rendimiento. Cada mercado con gustos y regulaciones distintas, requieren diseños distintos, equipamientos distintos… en definitiva, coches distintos. Eso encarece los desarrollos, complica las homologaciones y obliga a tomar decisiones de producto, en ocasiones, muy arriesgadas. El final de un ciclo. Europa construyó buena parte de su industria del automóvil sobre dos pilares: energía barata y exportaciones fuertes. Pero el tablero de juego ha cambiado. Con la guerra en Ucrania, los precios de la energía se han disparado. Las fábricas europeas, que antes tenían costes energéticos razonables, ahora producen con un sobrecoste brutal frente a Asia o EE.UU. Porsche, como muchas otras, ha tenido que revisar márgenes y eficiencia en sus plantas. Y si a eso le sumas que las exportaciones caen por la competencia y los aranceles, el modelo de negocio clásico europeo se tambalea. Conclusión. Podría ser esta: “Mal de muchos, consuelo de tontos” Cierto, Porsche está en crisis, pero no está sola. Lo que le pasa a Porsche es lo que le está ocurriendo a buena parte de la industria europea.

Episode 66: Phil Graham, Harneys When I set out to do this show, my goal was to arm aspiring fund managers with the information they need to launch and operate a fund. In the legal realm, I happen to possess a lot of that information from my day job, but there's so much more that goes into launching and operating a fund. And wise though I may be, my area of expertise doesn't cover it all. So I'm going to bring in some friends to share their wisdom in various other aspects of fund management.  I am honored to have Phil Graham, Global Head of Investment Funds and Digital Assets at Harneys on the show today to talk to us about BVI funds law.  Key Points From This Episode: Why should I choose BVI over Cayman for my offshore fund?Does my fund always need to register with the local regulator?What does the registration process cost/involve?Brief rundown of the local regulatory requirements for a BVI fund.How should I choose the right offshore counsel?Creating pathways to regulatory compliance.What's the smartest thing a new fund manager can do? Disclaimer: This show is for informational purposes only. Nothing presented here constitutes legal, investment or tax advice. The guests that join us are sharing their considerable fund-related wisdom, but everything they share here is their personal opinion and for educational purposes only. On this show, they are speaking for themselves, and not for their employer or any affiliated entity. Tokens of Wisdom is produced by Dave Rothschild, partner at Cole-Frieman & Mallon LLP headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Why Cayman Islanders Voted against a massive cruise ship pier is a rare and powerful story of reef protection over profit. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin unpacks the bold decision by Cayman citizens to reject a development project that would have severely damaged their coral reef ecosystem. The vote sent a clear message: the long-term health of the ocean matters more than short-term tourism dollars. Why Cayman Islanders Voted is also a reminder that grassroots action can be effective. Andrew explores how this vote happened, what it means for ocean conservation around the world, and how you can channel this momentum into protecting your local waters. He also introduces The Undertow, a growing community of ocean advocates working to inspire and support action like this on a global scale.
