Despite the recent Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) reports being lauded as "strong" and "solid," a critical underlying metric tells a different story. The Implied Hiring Rate has actually plummeted in the last two NFP reports, exposing a glaring disconnect between surface-level praise and deeper labor market dynamics. Is this time different?

In a recent Top of the Morning podcast, Paul H., Daniel Cassidy, and I discussed our recent report assessing the likelihood of a "Roaring '20s" scenario for the US economy. We touched on what the scenario looks like, the key drivers for it to happen, how policy is a wildcard that could make the scenario more or less likely, and general investment implications if it were to happen. Listen to the podcast for all the details. #shareubs https://lnkd.in/eTrGnzCv

All areas of commerce are benefitting from data analysis, and our industry is no different. And when it comes to hard data, Henry Schwartz is among the very best. Good, punchy interview here fresh from the OIC on many hot topics in the listed options space, including the rise of the "ProTail" customer using options strategically. #Options #OptionsStrategies #Cboe #SPX #VIX #XSP #OIC #0DTE

In times of political uncertainty and shifting SEC regulations, asset managers face unprecedented challenges. During the FT Live’s Future of Asset Management North America conference, Mike Tae, my colleague and Co-President of Investor Communications Solutions, shared valuable insights on navigating these complexities. I'm delighted to highlight Mike’s perspective on staying ahead in this regulatory landscape.

Interesting article from Douglas Appell in Pensions & Investments about the post-ZIRP, “higher for longer” interest rate environment that boils down to advocating for the pursuit of satisfactory investment outcomes that are relevant to asset owners’ actual spending needs and goals, rather than continuing the historically common practice – and expected future folly – of tethering one’s equity beta to that of an equity benchmark whose performance from today’s elevated levels is widely expected to be sluggish and insufficient to fund minimum liabilities (ie: payout rates, actuarial hurdles, spending goals, etc.).   Quoting the inimitable Ben Phillips, “In that world, the relevant benchmark becomes the client’s required cash flows.”   Fresh perspectives and new ideas are warranted. Satisfactory outcomes not benchmarks.
