BlackRock, the owner of the wildly popular iShares family of exchange-traded funds and the world’s largest asset manager, has gotten even bigger during the Covid-19 pandemic. BlackRock said Tuesday that it now has $7.8 trillion in assets under management, a 12% increase from last year.

The continued allure of passively managed index funds is a big reason why BlackRock is thriving during these volatile times for the market. BlackRock said that iShares raked in $2.3 trillion in assets during the third quarter — and nearly 70% of that total was for stock funds.

Soaring commercial auto insurance rates, onerous conditions ‘killing us,’ small businesses say

October 13, 2020

For more than five years, Frank Hunt’s moving company has been a pillar of his community in Barrie, Ont., but he says his award-winning business is now on its knees — and he blames his insurance company. 

“They’re killing us. They’re literally shutting down the business,” he told CBC News. He says onerous demands from his insurer have led to a loss of about 75 per cent of his revenue.

Hunt, 73, says his company pays about $10,000 for commercial vehicle insurance each year. He says there have been no claims or accidents. “Not even a broken windshield,” he said.

His problems began in May, when his insurer suddenly demanded his drivers upgrade their licences to beyond what Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation requires. He and his drivers are legally allowed to drive the company’s five-ton moving trucks with a basic G licence.

“This year, the insurance company comes up with,

Fire chiefs step into row over soaring insurance costs for high-rise flats

Fire chiefs have intervened in the financial crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of high-rise leaseholders by urging insurers to think twice before they hike premiums on towers with fire safety problems.

With some leaseholders facing increases of up to 1,200% in building insurance and others unable to get any cover, the National Fire Chiefs Council has met the Association of British Insurers to argue for a “more informed approach”. The fire chiefs are concerned that insurers have been increasing premiums sharply regardless of the degree of danger uncovered in the wake of the Grenfell Tower.

Lonestar Resources (NASDAQ:LONE) is an unlikely winner on Friday. Days after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, LONE stock is up more than 100% in intraday trading. What is driving this move?

Texas-based Lonestar perhaps unsurprisingly deals with oil and gas. Its more than 50,000 net acres primarily are in the Eagle Ford Shale region of the state. However, it is that very identity that has made 2020 so rough. Since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic, oil and gas companies have struggled. Demand is down along with manufacturing activity and the economy, and oil prices have struggled. Making matters worse was a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia that flooded the market with cheap crude.

On the back of all that, Lonestar filed for bankruptcy at the end of

Soaring wealth during pandemic highlights rising inequality

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans’ household wealth rebounded last quarter to a record high as the stock market quickly recovered from a pandemic-induced plunge in March. Yet the gains flowed mainly to the most affluent households even as tens of millions of people endured job losses and shrunken incomes.

The Federal Reserve said Monday that American households’ net worth jumped nearly 7% in the April-June quarter to $119 trillion. That figure had sunk to $111.3 trillion in the first quarter, when the coronavirus battered the economy and sent stock prices tumbling.

Since then, the S&P 500 stock index has regained its record high before losing some ground this month. It was up 2.8% for this year as of Friday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq has soared more than 20% this year.

The full recovery of wealth even while the economy has regained only about half the jobs lost to the pandemic recession underscores
