US Fines Citibank $400 Mn For Poor Risk Management Practices

October 7, 2020

US authorities fined Citibank $400 million over deficiencies in risk management practices and required an overhaul of internal controls at the global financial powerhouse, officials announced Wednesday.

The US Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued the fine, in parallel with a related action from the Federal Reserve citing failings at the bank.

The Fed said the crackdown reflected the fact Citi had “not taken prompt and effective actions to correct practices previously identified by the Board in the area of compliance risk management, data quality management and internal controls.”

The Fed said the issues date back to 2013, but had not been adequately addressed.

Under the settlement with the OCC, Citi promised to appoint a compliance committee that will provide quarterly updates to the company’s board on actions to improve compliance. Other requirements include upgrades to data collection and a staffing assessment to ensure adequate resources for

Ares Management: Undervalued With Plenty Of Dry Powder (NYSE:ARES)

It’s been nearly four months since I last checked on Ares Management (ARES), and since then, the shares haven’t really budged at all. Since June 8^th, the shares have returned about 2%, when dividends are factored in. While this performance may not be inspiring for some, I don’t believe it tells the full story.

As seen below, Ares Management is a relatively low-beta stock, which means that its stock price has swung relatively little compared to the rest of the market. For this reason, I believe Ares is a relatively good place for investors who are seeking a place to park cash, while remaining in equity market. In addition, I see upside potential from where the stock trades today; so let’s get started.

Nurses at Backus Hospital in Norwich have warned of a possible two-day strike.

The two sides have been in contract talks since June, according to an internal communication from the Backus Federation of Nurses, part of AFT Connecticut, which is bargaining on behalf of more than 400 nurses. Nurses at the Norwich hospital recently authorized a two-day strike and the notice is an attempt to ratchet up the pressure on hospital officials.

The union cited differences over personal protective equipment, pay and health insurance. It said the hospital insists it has the right to change insurance plans at any time without further negotiations and called it “clearly unacceptable.”

Personal finances are front and center in a withering 2020, but there are a few gaps to fill when it comes to accelerating the growth of household finances.

Steve Siebold, a certified financial educator and author of the book “How Money Works” offers some solid money appreciation tips, especially for people who may be out of work or otherwise struggling financially.

1. The Time Value of Money—The impact of compound interest (Interest on interest or reinvesting the interest) over the course of 30, 40, or 50 years is staggering. Once you understand the power of compounding over time and how critical each percentage point of interest is, you’ll want to start investing immediately.

2. The Concept of Wealth Equivalency—To retire with a $100,000 per year income, you’d need to save $2 million dollars and earn 5% interest. Less than 1% of Americans have succeeded at this. An
