In this episode of "Investing in Integrity", Ross Overline has an enlightening conversation with Wole Coaxum, an incredibly thoughtful leader, and visionary entrepreneur. Wole is the Founder and CEO of MoCaFi, a financial technology company committed to helping America's marginalized communities create wealth through better access to public, private, and social capital. Wole starts by sharing his background as he began his career at Commercial Credit in Baltimore, which evolved into Citigroup, where he gained exposure to the world of finance. However, after the tragic death of Michael Brown in 2014, Wole was inspired to shift his career toward addressing economic injustice and helping more underserved people thrive economically. Leaving a secure position at JPMorgan, Wole embarked on an entrepreneurial journey and launched MoCaFi. Wole shares the importance of diverse educational experience and critical thinking as he benefited from various learning methods like the Socratic method, the Harkness table, and the tutorial system at Oxford, which provided him with a solid basis in logical reasoning and effective communication, skills that are vital in any career. MoCaFi's mission focuses on expanding access to financial and social capital, striving to place people on a wealth-building path regardless of their historical starting points. The company has reimagined traditional banking products to serve underbanked communities better. For example, MoCaFi offers a demand deposit account that doesn't require credit checks or a standard banking history. Also, they are working on including rent and utility payments in credit reporting to help customers build credit scores. As the conversation draws to a close, Wole shares some of the challenges he faces with MoCaFi's business model, the customers, and investors as a founder. He also explains how innovating within the sector to serve the underbanked requires a break from traditional models and demystifies some of the most common misconceptions about those underbanked individuals and businesses.

Hear veteran risk manager, advisor and professor Clifford Rossi's viewpoints on trends, threats and opportunities in the commercial and residential real estate markets.  The past couple of years have been an extremely challenging time for risk practitioners charged with measuring and managing real estate risk. In both commercial real estate and residential real estate, concerns have been raised globally about interest rates, inflation and economic uncertainty. Indeed, in a recent Federal Reserve survey on salient risks – part of the Fed's October Financial Stability Report – roughly 75 percent of respondents cited the potential for “large losses on CRE and residential real estate.” CRE, more specifically, has been plagued by escalating vacancy rates for office buildings, thanks in part to the remote work trend that started during the pandemic and has since taken off. Residential real estate, meanwhile, has dealt with worries about housing affordability. As a former CRO at multiple banks and as an ex-senior risk manager at Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac, Cliff Rossi, our honored guest today, knows all about the CRE and residential real estate risks facing financial institutions today. Cliff, the current Director of the Smith Enterprise Risk Consortium at the University of Maryland (UMD), speaks with GARP editorial director Robert Sales about global real estate concerns and challenges, and offers advice on how firms can more effectively manage their exposures.   SPEAKER'S BIO: Clifford Rossi (PhD) is the Director of the Smith Enterprise Risk Consortium at the University of Maryland (UMD) and a Professor-of-the-Practice and Executive-in-Residence at UMD's Robert H. Smith School of Business. He is also the author of GARP's monthly “CRO Outlook” column. Prior to entering academia, Rossi had nearly 25 years of experience in banking and government, having held senior executive roles in risk management at several of the largest financial services companies. His most recent position was Managing Director and Chief Risk Officer for Citigroup's Consumer Lending Group, where he was responsible for overseeing the risk of a $300+B global portfolio of mortgage, home equity, student loans and auto loans with 700 employees under his direction. While there he was intimately involved in Citi's TARP and stress test activities. He also served as Chief Credit Officer at Washington Mutual (WaMu) and as Managing Director and Chief Risk Officer at Countrywide Bank. Previous to these assignments, Rossi held senior risk management positions at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. He started his career during the thrift crisis at the U.S. Treasury's Office of Domestic Finance and later at the Office of Thrift Supervision working on key policy issues affecting depositories. Rossi was also an adjunct professor in the Finance Department at the Robert H. Smith School of Business for eight years and has numerous academic and nonacademic articles on banking industry topics. Rossi is frequently quoted on financial policy issues in major newspapers and has appeared on such programs as C-SPAN's Washington Journal and CNN's Situation Room. His book for risk practitioners and graduate students, A Risk Professional's Survival Guide, was published in 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. His research interests are in financial and nonfinancial risk management, risk governance and analytics and climate risk.

Gou Campaign Says 'Anything Possible' After Ko Meeting A spokesman for Terry Gou's presidential campaign office says "anything - including a potential joint ticket - is possible" following a meeting with Taiwan People's Party presidential nominee, Ko Wen-je. Spokesman Huang Shih-hsiu said K-M-T Chairman Eric Chu's dealings with Ko mirrored the "promise-breaking and breach (違反) of trust" he had engaged in … when Gou unsuccessfully sought the party's presidential nomination in May.

The training program was announced shortly after T-S-M-C made public its plans to set up a 12-inch wafer fab in Dresden.

Governments around the world, The World Economic Forum, and the International Monetary Fund are proposing the movement to a global currency. How likely is this proposal and what can YOU do about it?

Governor Ron DeSantis has faced growing backlash and economic boycotts in response to controversial policies in Florida, including the "Don't Say Gay" bill that restricts classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity. Major corporations like Disney have condemned these laws, pausing film productions and operations in the state. Advocacy groups have called for tourism boycotts, with estimates of potential losses up to $7 billion. Entertainment figures and artists have canceled Florida shows and events. Companies like Citigroup are halting relocations to the state. The collective economic pressure aims to protest DeSantis' measures seen as discriminatory against LGBTQ individuals and harmful to Florida's business interests. Legal challenges argue the policies are unconstitutional.   The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) has issued statements criticizing Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill and other policies under Governor Ron DeSantis. Here are some key points the NAACP has made: The NAACP President Derrick Johnson condemned the bill, saying it "follows a dangerous and divisive campaign led by Governor DeSantis attacking Black History Month, critical race theory, and now the fundamental human rights of the LGBTQ+ community." They argue the bill perpetuates dangerous discrimination against LGBTQ youth in Florida schools. The NAACP sees these policies as part of a broader agenda to stoke racial divisions and erase marginalized groups from schools. They contend DeSantis is spreading a dangerous political narrative. They have called for corporations, lawmakers and civil rights defenders to take direct action against policies like the "Don't Say Gay" bill that they believe harm young people. The NAACP pledged to advocate for the dignity, wellbeing and protection of all students in Florida, especially those within the LGBTQ community. They urged parents, educators, corporations and lawmakers to listen to marginalized youth and oppose legislation that denies human rights. Overall, the NAACP maintains that bills targeting protected classes like LGBTQ youth promote intolerance and run contrary to the goal of providing students with a high quality public education. They see a direct link between these measures and the broader struggle for civil rights.       For more information, visit the website or send an email.   email: wegotproblemspodcast@gmail.com Web: https://www.wegotproblemspodcast.com     Networking Group Join We Got Problems After Dark   Our Websites https://wegotproblemspodcast.com https://curtisgmartin.com https://rhondawritesofficial.com https://thetrashvegan.com   Follow us on Social Media:  @curtismartin247  Curtis G Martin @therhondalbrown  Rhonda L Brown @the_trash_vegan_ Caliph Johnson Sr   #curtisgmartin  #rhondalbrown  #caliphjohnsonsr #wegotproblemsafterdark #wegotproblemspodcast #therhondalbrown #the_trash_vegan_ #curtismartin247 #wegotproblems #wegotsolutions #CurtisGmartin #RhondaLBrown #CaliphJohnsonSr #LaChekaPhillips

On today's podcast, we look at bitcoin's 70% YTD gain and what that suggests for 2024. While some continue to voice skepticism, 425 million people globally today own digital assets. More than ever, financial advisors need to recognize the growing adoption of this new asset class, especially considering that over half of Gen Z is already invested. Major financial institutions - including BlackRock, JP Morgan, and Citigroup - are actively engaged. And it's easy to see why, with the market for tokenized assets projected to hit $16T by 2030. Clearly, the financial services industry is about to experience a transformative change. How are global regulations evolving, and where does the U.S. stand in this crypto race?

La tensión en Oriente Medio después de que Israel bombardeara el enclave palestino de Gaza en represalia por uno de los ataques más sangrientos de su historia está provocando que el precio del crudo se dispare un 4% este lunes. El temor es que una respuesta de Irán en el estrecho de Ormuz suponga un riesgo para la oferta de petróleo. Los índices bursátiles reaccionan a este conflicto con caídas después de que la Bolsa de Tel Aviv se desplomara este domingo un 6%. El oro actúa como refugio y sube un 1% y el dólar se revaloriza frente al resto de divisas.

This week, we have banking and the recent rise in government bond yields in focus. Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, tells us that the run-up in bond yields means the need for another interest rate hike is “diminished.” But with the September jobs report showing job growth remaining stronger than expected, and the Fed seemingly committed to keep interest rates high, what could that mean for three of the biggest banks, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup, who are set to report earnings this week? And what could it mean for how they handle our money? Then, we're flying into Delta's earnings report, also expected this week, with analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu, who covers the stock for the investment bank Jefferies. How is Delta navigating through the rough skies of high fuel and maintenance costs and the recent controversial changes to its Skymiles program, and what does that say about the state of travel and consumer spending? Plus, we're looking ahead to this week's release of the new Taylor Swift “Eras Tour” concert movie. The movie industry has problems. Could the record-breaking artist's film – and a deal to distribute Beyonce's Renaissance concert movie too – help solve them, and provide AMC shareholders with a blockbuster profit?   Further Reading It's a Good Time to Buy Bonds.

In this episode, we dive into the intriguing journey of Wei Li, who currently holds the prestigious role of Global Chief Investment Strategist at BlackRock, a powerhouse in the investment world. Wei's story is a testament to the power of adaptability and perseverance. Born in the little-known city of Chongqing, China, Wei Li's parents, both teachers, exemplified the courage to embrace change as they moved from their steady life in the heart of China to the vibrant coastal region. This early exposure to risk-taking and transformation left a lasting impact on Wei. Wei's upbringing shifted as she followed her parents to the rapidly evolving city of Shenzhen. Eventually, her educational path led her overseas to Singapore and the UK, where she majored in mathematics. Little did she know, this passion for numbers would set the foundation for her future career in finance. The financial world wasn't initially Wei's plan, but an eagerness to compete and a curiosity for the trading floor led her to internships at Wall Street firms. Her journey began at Lehman Brothers, followed by Citigroup, where she honed her skills in trading and derivatives. Eventually, she found herself at BlackRock, initially focusing on ETFs before ascending to her current role as Global Chief Investment Strategist. Throughout her career, Wei encountered various challenges, such as language barriers and public speaking anxiety. Being a non-native English speaker, she initially struggled with quick-paced conversations and articulating her thoughts. However, she turned this challenge into a strength by leveraging it as a unique attribute, ultimately gaining both credibility and flexibility. Two key pieces of advice have guided Wei Li throughout her career. First, she learned the value of being 80% "good enough" instead of aiming for absolute perfection, especially in rapidly changing environments. Second, she internalized the importance of being replaceable, which fostered a culture of sharing and learning within her team. Addressing the misconception about introverts, Wei highlights that introversion is about recharging preferences, not limitations in interacting with others or public speaking. She developed the "Quiet Riot" initiative at BlackRock, aimed at helping introverts navigate louder environments and improve public speaking skills. As Global Chief Investment Strategist, she navigates complex macroeconomic insights and leverages research to guide asset allocation across various markets. Amidst the noise and volatility, Wei emphasizes the importance of having a strong framework to interpret the evolving global landscape. Wei Li's journey from Chongqing to the pinnacle of the finance world is not just a story of professional success, but a testament to embracing change, utilizing unique perspectives, and overcoming challenges. Her experience offers valuable lessons for anyone navigating a dynamic career path. Tune in to this episode as we delve into Wei Li's remarkable journey and gain insights into her strategies for thriving in the financial world and beyond.

Citigroup's new tokenization service is a significant development for the financial industry. It shows that major banks are serious about blockchain technology and its potential to revolutionize cash management and trade finance.Tokenization is the process of converting traditional assets, such as cash and securities, into digital tokens that can be traded on a blockchain. This has a number of benefits, including:Increased efficiency and speed of transactionsReduced costsImproved transparency and securityNew investment opportunitiesCitigroup's tokenization service is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to transform the way that institutional clients manage their cash and trade finance.How Chainlink and Avalanche might play a role in tokenization of assetsChainlink and Avalanche are two blockchain platforms that could play a significant role in the tokenization of assets.Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that provides real-world data to smart contracts. This is essential for tokenizing assets, as it allows smart contracts to access and process real-world information, such as market prices and asset ownership records.Avalanche is a high-performance blockchain platform that is well-suited for tokenization applications. It offers fast transaction times, low fees, and a wide range of features that make it ideal for developing and deploying tokenized assets.Here are some specific examples of how Chainlink and Avalanche could be used to tokenize assets:Chainlink could be used to feed real-time market prices to a smart contract that governs a tokenized asset. This would allow the smart contract to automatically adjust the price of the asset based on market conditions.Avalanche could be used to create a scalable and efficient platform for trading tokenized assets. This would allow institutional investors and other market participants to trade tokenized assets quickly and easily.Overall, Chainlink and Avalanche are two blockchain platforms that have the potential to play a significant role in the tokenization of assets. Their unique features and capabilities make them well-suited for this emerging application.In addition to the above, here are some other ways that Chainlink and Avalanche could be used to tokenize assets:Chainlink could be used to verify the authenticity of assets before they are tokenized. This would help to prevent fraud and ensure that only legitimate assets are tokenized.Avalanche could be used to create a decentralized marketplace for tokenized assets. This would allow buyers and sellers to trade tokenized assets directly with each other, without the need for a central intermediary.Overall, the tokenization of assets is a rapidly growing trend with the potential to revolutionize the financial industry. Chainlink and Avalanche are two blockchain platforms that are well-positioned to play a leading role in this space.
