Bryan Sajjadi, a Capital Market Strategist at Fidelity Investments, shares how Fidelity's privately owned structure and long-term orientation influence the way investment decisions are made. He outlines how the firm's global research platform—spanning equities, fixed income, sectors, and quantitative analysis—is designed to challenge assumptions, share perspectives, and provide a fuller picture of risk and opportunity across market cycles. Rather than relying on a single style or viewpoint, Sajjadi emphasizes the value of combining multiple disciplines to navigate changing market environments. Sajjadi also discusses how Fidelity blends fundamental research with quantitative tools and emerging technologies to support portfolio decisions and risk awareness. He points to collaboration across asset classes, access to private markets, and long-standing company relationships as inputs that inform—not dictate—investment outcomes. Looking ahead, he frames the market outlook in practical terms, highlighting the need for selectivity, diversification, and flexibility as economic conditions evolve and dispersion across assets increases.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin sits down with Brian Willer, Senior Vice President and National Sales Manager of Institutional Business Development at Federated Hermes, to discuss leadership, communication, and the operational discipline required to scale an institutional sales organization.Willer begins by reflecting on his early background growing up in Maine with no direct exposure to investment management. His interest in financial markets was sparked by curiosity rather than formal guidance, eventually leading him to Bryant University, where a trading simulation room cemented his desire to enter the industry. He launched his career at Fidelity Investments on the inside sales desk, gaining foundational training during the Global Financial Crisis. This period proved formative, teaching him how to navigate difficult market environments, client uncertainty, and the importance of preparation and resilience.After several years at Fidelity, Willer sought a path that allowed him to move into the field without leaving New England. Following a stint in recordkeeping sales, he joined Federated Hermes in 2013, entering the institutional business during a period of growth. Over time, he progressed into a leadership role overseeing an eight-person institutional sales team across North America, while working closely with the firm's liquidity, treasury, and consulting relations groups.A central theme of the conversation is culture and communication. Willer emphasizes that Federated Hermes' culture is built on trust, transparency, and long-term tenure, supported by a relatively flat organizational structure. He believes leaders must stay deeply connected to their teams, noting that sales leadership cannot be effective from a distance. His communication model blends structure and consistency—biweekly team meetings, monthly one-on-ones, and formal quarterly reviews—with constant daily interaction to stay close to opportunities, challenges, and client conversations.Willer also highlights the importance of tapping into collective intelligence. He encourages open sharing across the team, allowing reps to learn from one another's positioning strategies, client objections, and successful approaches. By deliberately creating forums where ideas and insights are exchanged, he helps eliminate silos and raise the performance of the entire group. This philosophy extends beyond sales to cross-functional collaboration with product, marketing, and RFP teams.The discussion also covers the role of CRM systems, particularly Salesforce, as a core business tool rather than an administrative burden. Willer stresses the importance of data quality, capturing meetings early, and documenting detailed notes to support long institutional sales cycles. A well-maintained CRM enables better internal coordination, more relevant client outreach, and improved prioritization across teams.When asked about leadership philosophy, Willer describes his approach as trust-based and intentional. He prioritizes kindness, thoughtful communication, and honest feedback delivered in the right setting. For young professionals entering the industry, his advice centers on building relationships early and focusing on controllable factors such as preparation, process, and continuous learning. He concludes by noting that time management is his greatest challenge as a leader, and that prioritizing what best serves clients and the team is the framework he uses to stay focused and effective.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

Ryan Frederick, founder of Here.life, explains why “place planning” is an increasingly important—but often overlooked—factor in long-term wellbeing and financial outcomes. He argues that where people live has a profound impact on health, relationships, purpose, and spending, yet these decisions are often made reactively or reduced to housing or financial decisions. By viewing place through four lenses—environment, health, community, and finances—Frederick shows how misalignment can quietly erode quality of life, while intentional planning can create clarity, especially as people navigate longer lives and major transitions. Frederick also describes how structured place planning helps clients move past rigid “stay or move” thinking and consider multiple paths, including improving their current home, relocating, or incorporating extended travel. That broader view often surfaces hidden trade-offs and leads to more confident, durable decisions. For advisors, he notes that clients value having a framework to think through place before acting, strengthening trust and reinforcing the advisor's role as a long-term partner in consequential life decisions.

In its efforts to trace how Jeffrey Epstein's finances may have enabled or obscured his sex-trafficking operations, the U.S. Virgin Islands government has issued subpoenas and pursued information from multiple major financial institutions believed to have handled Epstein's accounts or related entities. Court filings and investigative reporting show that banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank were subpoenaed for records, transaction details, and internal communications about Epstein and the dozens of corporations, trusts, and nonprofit entities tied to him. These subpoenas aimed to uncover how his financial activities may have been facilitated or ignored by these institutions as part of the broader justice effort. Other financial entities reportedly included in subpoenas or scrutiny were Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, Bank Leumi, Wells Fargo, Northern Trust, and Silicon Valley Bank, reflecting the government's attempt to map the full extent of Epstein's banking relationships and financial flows.The most significant legal action has centered on JPMorgan Chase, which the USVI AG sued in federal court in New York in 2022, alleging that the bank “facilitated and concealed wire and cash transactions” that were part of Epstein's criminal enterprise and “financially benefitted” from his activities. JPMorgan ultimately agreed to pay $75 million to the USVI to settle those claims, acknowledging its past handling of Epstein's accounts but denying wrongdoing, while separate settlements with victims brought additional payouts tied to the bank's oversight failures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Etinosa Agbonlahor is the CEO of Decision Alpha and former Director of Behavioral Research at Fidelity Investments. A behavioral economist by training, she helps companies understand how customers actually make decisions—and how that should shape pricing. In this episode, Etinosa and Mark Stiving unpack the tension between real value and perceived value, why customers don't react to prices rationally, and how behavioral economics can strengthen pricing strategies. They explore value drivers, ethical nudging, the fear of raising prices, and why most buyers don't remember prices as clearly as business owners think. If you want clearer, psychology-backed ways to price, communicate value, and make better pricing decisions, this episode gives you practical insights you can use right away.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Why customers forget your prices—and how that myth makes business owners afraid to raise them. How behavioral economics expands value beyond profit into perception, context, and emotion. How to raise prices ethically using segmentation, glide paths, and clear communication.   "Understand your customer. Do the pricing research with customers—not just with quant models. Go talk to customers. It's important." — Etinosa Agbonlahor   Topics Covered: 02:08 – Pricing and Behavioral Economics. Mark and Etinosa debate where behavioral economics fits in pricing—Mark sees it as the final touch, while Etinosa argues it shapes value perception from the start. 05:20 – Defining Real vs. Perceived Value. A foundational question: is value measured strictly in outcomes, or also in emotion, context, and comparison? Their contrasting definitions reveal why pricing teams often misread customers. 09:05 – Value Beyond Monetary Price. Etinosa expands value to include convenience, safety, time saved, emotional comfort, and opportunity cost—benefits customers feel but rarely articulate. 10:37 – Value Drivers in Pricing Strategies. Behavioral research uncovers the real outcomes customers care about. Mark connects this to pricing strategy: quantify value drivers to justify stronger pricing. 15:32 – Manipulation in Behavioral Economics. Mark asks whether nudging is manipulation. Etinosa explains that behavioral tools aren't coercive—intent determines whether they help or harm the customer. 18:02 – Ethics of Choice Architecture. Every pricing page is a designed choice. Etinosa contrasts ethical nudges with dark patterns, while Mark questions how businesses balance their goals with customer wellbeing. 22:22 – Behavioral Economics in Business. Real-world examples show how behavioral insights improve retention, financial outcomes, and long-term customer relationships—not just revenue. 24:20 – Pricing Fears and Customer Perception. The Spotlight Effect is a myth: customers don't track your prices as closely as you think. The two discuss how clearer communication and segmentation reduce backlash when raising prices. 28:48 – Understand Your Customer. Etinosa's closing advice: real pricing power comes from customer conversations—not spreadsheets. Behavioral economics begins with understanding actual human behavior.   Key Takeaways: "Value is all about perception. Once you step into perception, you're in behavioral economics." — Etinosa Agbonlahor "There is no such thing as a neutral choice. Every pricing page is designed—intentionally or unintentionally." — Etinosa Agbonlahor "People are not rational. Once you accept that as fact, you can design pricing that fits how people actually behave."  — Etinosa Agbonlahor "Business owners think customers remember prices more than they actually do." — Etinosa Agbonlahor   People / Resources Mentioned: Richard Thaler – Nobel laureate; originator of transaction utility and foundational behavioral economics concepts. Dan Ariely – Author of Predictably Irrational, referenced in discussing irrational decision patterns. Weber-Fechner Law – Psychological principle used to design perceptually smoother price increases.   Connect with Etinosa Agbonlahor: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/etinosasere Email: etinosa@decision-alpha.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

It was a pleasure to welcome Jessica Stauth, CIO for Systematic Equities at Fidelity Investments, to the Alpha Exchange. Our discussion explores how quant investing has evolved through cycles of market stress, technological change, and today's extraordinary concentration in the equity landscape. Reflecting on her start in markets in the aftermath of the 2007 Quant Quake and the onset of the global financial crisis, Jessica highlights the foundational lesson that markets contain far more uncertainty than models can fully capture — a theme as relevant today as investors confront narrow leadership and elevated fragility. She explains how early dislocations demonstrated the limits of traditional risk models and the dangers of crowding, especially when many quantitative strategies rely on similar signals or hedging techniques. Turning to the present, Jessica describes how her team builds equity strategies designed to function across regimes, emphasizing the need for diversified risk models, guardrails that prevent overfitting, and a clear understanding of how macro shocks can overwhelm bottom-up stock selection. She details the evolution of factor research, including the durability of broad categories such as value, momentum, and quality, while outlining how competition and data availability reshape their effectiveness over time. Lastly, she discusses the growing role of non-traditional data — from earnings-call text to machine-learning tools and LLM-driven sentiment extraction — while underscoring the importance of broad, consistent datasets that can be applied across global universes. Against the backdrop of the S&P 500's heavy top-weighting, Jessica details how diminished breadth affects opportunity sets, investor demand for alternative approaches, and the search for alpha outside the most crowded areas of the market. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Jessica Stauth.

Today, she leads the NextGen engagement and growth strategies.  Suzanne talks with Jack about the implications of aging and its impact on consumers, advisors, and the industry as a whole. She shares key findings from Next Chapter's advisor study, which highlights the industry's need to better prepare advisors to navigate complex family dynamics, health events, caregiving challenges, and solo aging.

The industry is also not adequately prepared to help advisors detect cognitive change in their clients." ~ Suzanne Schmitt "Knowing the percentage of the current revenue in your book held by women is incredibly important, and engaging them on issues of caregiving is an absolute home run." ~ Suzanne Schmitt "A lot of advisors don't start because they don't know where to start. Getting used to asking simply 'what has changed with your health since we last talked' is one of the best questions you can work into your repertoire." ~ Suzanne Schmitt Links  Suzanne Schmitt on LinkedIn NextChapter Steve Gresham Fidelity Investments New York Life Insurance Prudential Financial Lincoln Financial LPL Financial McKinsey Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

The Compound and Friends ✓ Claimed Key Takeaways  “Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting your flowers and watering the weeds.” “The real key to making money in stocks is to not get scared out of them.” Knowing what you own is the most important part of investing“Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.” Economists have predicted 33 of the last 11 recessions “You get recessions, you get stock market declines. If you don't understand that that's going to happen, then you're not ready and you won't do well in markets.”There is no way to dance around the tumultuous times in the market; you have to learn how to live through them “If you spend more than thirteen minutes analyzing economic and market forecasts, you've wasted ten minutes.”“Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it's doing.”  Just because someone is a professional does not mean that they know more than you “In the long run, a portfolio of well-chosen stocks or mutual funds can outperform the most sophisticated investment strategy.”Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgOn episode 211 of The Compound and Friends, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Downtown Josh Brown⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is joined by Peter Lynch, Vice Chairman of Fidelity Management and Research to discuss: Peter's legendary career, how individual investors can succeed in the market, the biggest investing mistakes, and much more!

What happens when traditional finance collides with decentralized networks? Hadley Stern, Chief Commercial Officer at Marinade Finance, takes us on a fascinating journey from his 18-year career at Fidelity Investments to the cutting edge of decentralized finance. Drawing from his pioneering experience leading Bitcoin initiatives as early as 2014, Hadley provides unique insights into why decentralized networks represent the future of global finance.The conversation explores the revolutionary convergence of traditional finance with blockchain technology. As tokenized equities begin trading on Solana through platforms like Superstate, we're witnessing a fundamental shift in market accessibility. Unlike previous attempts that merely tracked prices, these new offerings provide actual ownership with voting rights while enabling 24/7 global trading – a stark contrast to traditional exchanges' limited hours.Hadley articulates why this matters: "It comes back to this ethos of decentralization and the idea that networks, tools, software, things that we do every day that are currently handled by centralized entities can actually be handled by decentralized entities, and that's better for the world."The total addressable market for "internet capital markets" is staggering – potentially many trillions of dollars. With Solana processing more transaction volume than all other blockchains combined, Marinade Finance is strategically positioned at the center of this revolution as a staking provider for institutional players entering the space.The discussion also touches on fascinating technological parallels, including how AI and "vibe coding" are enabling developers to build applications that reach $100 million in revenue within months – a pace unimaginable even during the early internet boom.Whether you're an investor, builder, or simply curious about where finance is heading, this episode provides an illuminating roadmap to the future of capital markets.

#636: Behavioral economist Etinosa Agbonlahor joins us to discuss "money scripts" — the unconscious beliefs we inherit or develop about finances.  Agbonlahor, CEO of Decision Alpha and former Director of Behavioral Science Research at Fidelity Investments, is the author of "How to Talk to Your Parents About Money."  She studied financial management at Cornell University and explains how these hidden biases create problems when we try to discuss finances with family members. You might assume everyone thinks saving money makes sense, while your parents operate under completely different beliefs. These conflicting scripts can derail conversations before they start.  Agbonlahor shares the story of a single mother who became so anxious about money after her divorce that she refused to buy her teenager expensive shoes. Years later, she realized she was trying to teach extreme frugality to protect her daughters from the financial insecurity she experienced. The key to productive money conversations lies in three principles: care, curiosity and cooperation. You approach with empathy rather than judgment, ask open-ended questions to understand their situation, and work together toward solutions instead of trying to be the financial savior. The conversation covers specific topics you should address with aging parents: debt, retirement planning, long-term care preferences, and estate planning. Agbonlahor emphasizes starting these discussions early, before a crisis hits.  You want to understand their vision for retirement — whether they prioritize security, adventure or leaving a legacy — and then assess the gap between their goals and current reality. When parents refuse to discuss finances, you might need to involve trusted friends, spiritual leaders or professional advisors who can have these conversations instead.  Resources Mentioned: Book: How to Talk to Your Parents About Money, by Etinosa Agbonlahor The Humble Dollar Forum Timestamps: Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising run times.
