Podcasts about Solvency

In the second episode in Skadden's yearlong podcast series on global prudential solvency requirements, host Robert Chaplin and colleague Abraham Alheyali discuss the regulatory regime in Bermuda, a global center for insurance and reinsurance. More than 30 major firms underwrite from the country, and it is the largest supplier of catastrophe reinsurance to U.S. insurers. Rob and Abraham discuss the Bermuda Monetary Authority's (BMA's) regulatory approach toward different types of insurers and reinsurers, the four key concepts in Bermuda's prudential regime, various requirements for capital holdings and investments, and how the insurance industry's growth and increasing sophistication will likely lead to future regulatory changes.

Ecological collapse doesn't happen in a vacuum.Our global economy will also collapse by up to 50% before the end of this century if we continue as we are. That's the latest diagnosis by an interdisciplinary team who are sounding the alarm that current national climate policies are not enough to mitigate the damage to ecology and economy. The Institute of the Faculty of Actuaries and the University of Exeter today published Planetary Solvency which warns that widely used but deeply flawed assessments of the economic impact of climate change render policymakers blind to the immense risk created by current trajectories.Sandy Trust, actuary and co-author, joins me to explain how these flawed assessments play out in climate policies and an alternative methodology for calculating risk laid out in the report. This is Sandy's second time on the show, as in 2023 he joined me to explain how the world of finance underestimates the destruction climate change will cause on our economy after 1.5 degrees of warming. The update is no less frightening—especially, as Sandy reveals, given policy makers have little interest in heeding the warnings of experts.Planet: Critical is 100% independent and community-powered.

Michel Leonard, chief economist and data scientist, Insurance Information Institute, acknowledged concerns about rising premiums while emphasizing insurers' responsibility to maintain solvency. Leonard spoke with AM Best TV at the GIF conference.

The most respected class of elected officials in America hold titles such as Treasurer, Auditor General, Comptroller, or Commissioner of Revenue. These are financial watchdogs with their eyes on the details. Worker bees. On the other hand, Congress often polls as one of the least trusted political institutions. One reason? By and large, states balance their budgets and Congress… well, doesn’t. That's why we spoke with Indiana Comptroller Elise Nieshalla in Ep. 91, who chairs the National Debt Crisis Task Force for the prestigious State Financial Officers Foundation. This group sent a letter (National-Debt-Letter.pdf) to Congress urging its members to deal immediately with exploding debt levels which could potentially trigger a debt crisis and, in its wake, a geopolitical crisis created by American decline.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They also explore external audit requirements and review the role of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) in information disclosure.

ESOPs are a proven strategy that allows owners to leverage the wealth they've built through hard work and dedication. An 831(b) plan, commonly known as captive or microcaptive insurance, is intended to help business owners reduce unfunded liabilities. SRA utilizes the 831(b) Tax Code to create tax-deferred risk mitigation and give business owners greater peace of mind. Van Carlson is the founder and CEO of SRA 831(b), with 25 years of experience in the risk management industry. His goal is to continue SRA's upward growth while also developing novel products for the market. He joined us today to discuss how to fund uninsured risks without hurting cash flow. We start the conversation with Van explaining the 831(b) risk management strategy along with the benefits businesses can gain from it. Then we talk about the significance of motivation in financial advice. Risk management should be the primary focus rather than merely seeking tax advantages to avoid potential scrutiny from the IRS. Van then kindly explains the common mistakes people make when setting up an 831(b), especially in the construction industry: proper ownership structure and motivation. We then pay attention to the challenges of exiting an 831(b) plan, where Van explains how they make a simple exiting process. Further down to the conversation, we discuss the following topics regarding 831(B) risk management strategy: solvency testing, the services 831(b) provides and are unavailable through traditional insurance options, alternatives for 831(b), and the type of businesses that might not be suitable for an 831(b).   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [02:13] What is 831(b) risk management strategy?  [04:43] What 831(b) provides for construction companies [08:52] The importance of the motivations behind financial advice  [10:35] The common mistakes [14:33] Solvency testing [18:41] Challenges of exiting an 831(b) plan  [20:31] What unique services do 831(b) offer that aren't available through conventional insurance options?

Raj Shah and Rick Borek discuss how Social Security is facing a solvency crisis within the next 10 years, and one option to fix it is to raise the full retirement age. This would add funding to Social Security but also result in fewer years of payments for retirees. They explain that planning for a potential decrease in Social Security benefits is important, and putting away a lump sum of money can guarantee additional income in retirement.

“Insurers are expected to hold eligible owned funds in excess of the Solvency Capital Requirement. There are two main methods of calculating the SCR under Solvency II, the standard formula and internal model methods.”In this episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast, Rob Chaplin, host and head of Skadden's Europe Financial Institutions Group is joined by colleague George Belcher to discuss Solvency II's internal models (IM).

Rob and George also explore partial IMs, changes to existing models, the PRA approval process and implications of the U.K.'s move away from EU Solvency II standards.

It notes that Governor Pritzker's $800 million in tax changes will help close the state's budget deficit, but that any more could overwhelm taxpayers.

Key Strategies To Turnaround a Business Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. To turnaround a business you must take action early and not wait till it's too late. Here are some key strategies to take to turnaround your business: Assess the situation. Review the market to see if the company is still competitive in the current landscape. Check to see if you have sufficient revenue, customers, support, and profit to maintain the business.  Identify what revenue and cost structure you need to achieve break-even. Review the outstanding debt to see who is owed and how much. Solvency may determine the turnaround path and steps. Check your cash runway to see how much time you have to recover. Identify the core problem to be solved. With this information write out a turnaround plan. Make sure everyone knows the plan and buys into it. If there are creditors who must be paid then show them the plan and work out a payment schedule. Renegotiate outstanding debt to give you more time to rebuild the business. Set up metrics to track the progress on achieving the plan. Implement strict cash and expense controls. Strive to hit break even and then profitability without increasing costs. It's important to execute on the plan in a timely manner.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

The bonding company owner that posted Trump's $175 million bond in New York against the $465 million civil fraud judgment JUST ADMITTED THAT his company is violating ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING and “Know Your Customer” laws because he DOES NOT KNOW THE SOURCE OF TRUMP's cash collateral. Michael Popok examines the new bond just filed by a company controlled by a Trump donor, and why the UNAUDITED and stale financial statements filed by them in the case raise new questions about their SOLVENCY that Judge Engoron will hold a hearing about later this month.

This episode was recorded on June 3, 2022In this episode, Brad Mills interviews author and former Federal Reserve market specialist, Joseph Wang. Known for his work "Central Banking 101," Joseph offers a treasure trove of insights from his tenure at the Fed, drawing on his experiences navigating the financial landscape post the 2008 crisis.Brad and Joseph have an in-depth discussion on the world of the repo market, its challenges in 2019 when rates unexpectedly eclipsed the Federal Reserve's interest on reserves, and the implications for liquidity and bank stability. The episode delves into critical issues like the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the balance between capital and liquidity in safeguarding against bank insolvencies.Brad probes the possibility of the Federal Reserve's repo market interventions being akin to unapproved bailouts — a notion Joseph addresses by shedding light on the quality of collateral involved in these short-term lending agreements. The dialogue also ventures into the accounting aspects of bond maturities, the purchasing power of the US Treasury's looming debt, and the Federal Reserve's potential role in debt acquisition.Their exchange extends to Bitcoin's immunity to governmental control, contrasting its decentralized nature with other cryptocurrencies and what that means in an increasingly regulated environment. The episode advances through the murky waters of quantitative easing, the causality of inflation, and the contentious values underpinning the current financial system.Tune into this episode for a blend of expertise and provocative analyses, revealing the inner workings of the systems that move money globally.

This week Anna (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and cohost Kobi (https://twitter.com/kobigurk) chat with both Kostas Kryptos (https://twitter.com/kostascrypto) from Mysten Labs (https://mystenlabs.com/), discussing the zkLogin project and Aayush Gupta (https://twitter.com/yush_g) representing the ZK Email + Email Wallet (https://twitter.com/zkemail) projects.

You send your money to the health insurance black hole and never see it again. Then, when you get hurt you have to send them more money. The great news is now you have an alternative: CrowdHealth. It's totally different from insurance. Instead of sending your hard earned money to an insurance company, you hold your money in an account CrowdHealth helps you set up when you join. You can even convert dollars in that account into Bitcoin. When someone in the community has a health need, you help them out directly and if there is Bitcoin or $ left over in your account when you leave, you take it with you. https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/natalie  OTHER RESOURCES - Natalie's website https://talkingbitcoin.com/ - Nic Carter https://niccarter.info/ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ VALUE FOR VALUE — SUPPORT NATALIE'S SHOWS Strike ID https://strike.me/coinstoriesnat/ Cash App $CoinStories BTC wallet bc1ql8dqjp46s4eq9k3lxt0lxzh6f2wcu35cl6944d ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ FOLLOW NATALIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Twitter https://twitter.com/natbrunell Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nataliebrunell  Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliebrunell ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ DISCLAIMER This show is for entertainment purposes only and does not give financial advice.
