The Psychology and Neuroscience of Financial Decision MakingTrading Game Pty Ltd
Financial decisions are among the most important life-shaping decisions that people make. We review facts about financial decisions and what cognitive and neural processes influence them. Because of cognitive constraints and a low average level of financial literacy, many household decisions violate sound
financial principles. Households typically have underdiversified stock holdings and low retirement savings rates. Investors overextrapolate from past returns and trade too often. Even top corporate managers, who are typically highly educated, make decisions that are affected by overconfidence and personal history. Many of these behaviors can be explained by well-known principles from cognitive science.
A boom in high-quality accumulated evidence–especially how practical, low-cost ‘nudges’ can improve financial decisions–is
already giving clear guidance for balanced government regulation

DEPOT: A decentralized autonomous pensionPaul Mizel
Pension systems play a crucial role in the economic and political development of countries and help to maintain purchasing power for decades. Nevertheless, many people do not have access to good pension systems. That’s why we propose the development of a blockchain-based, decentralized and globally available pay-as-you-go pension system. We show how redistribution of contributions towards pension payments works and how voluntary participation in the pension system is incentivized through transparent, fair and unchangeable processes. Creating a premium for the last generation of the pay-as-you-go system ensures that all participants receive a pension and, in addition, creates an incentive to participate in the pension system.

Around the world, many investors are turning to alternative assets to increase yield in the current low―or even negative―interest-rate environment. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), sponsored by Northern Trust, sought to ascertain the importance of various factors to investors’ and investment managers’ alternative investment decision making. In February 2017, the EIU surveyed 200 senior asset management and institutional investor executives employed by several different types of organisations—ranging from private equity firms and hedge funds to corporations, non-profits and insurance companies.

December 02, 2001 is a day that will go down in history for many people, it was the day that Enron a U.S energy trading and Utilities Company filed for bankruptcy. This bankruptcy filing changed the lives of many innocent Americans who lost their entire life savings. In late December 2008, a major case of stock and securities fraud was discovered and Bernard Madoff the founder of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities was convicted and eventually sentenced to 150 years in prison for running the largest fraudulent scheme in U.S history. New York Times | DIANA B. HENRIQUES and ZACHERY KOUWE | Posted 05.25.2011 | Business. Both of these schemes negatively affected the financial, social, health, and economic lives of thousands of people who depended on the expertise of these companies to invest their retirement savings adequately. These unfair practices lead me to believe that there is no accountability for these crimes and the government, therefore, has a responsibility to the public as a whole, and to the numerous people who have lost their life savings to the unscrupulous accounting practices of many professional investors and financial institutions.
My first concern leads me to believe that nobody is keeping a watchful eye on any of these big corporations who continues to mishandle the retirement savings of the American citizens who work so hard to put away their life savings for a better future. What was the Enron culture? The Wall Street Journal of 26 August 2002 captured the essence of Enron’s culture, as the expression of the personalities of its senior management (Raghavan et al., 2002). A Lucite cube on the desk of Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow read: ‘rip your face off.' Add Jeff Skilling’s penchant for extreme sports, and a picture of an aggressive culture begins to form. The Wall Street Journal reporters observed ‘It [Fastow’s cube] was a characteristic gesture inside Enron, where the prevailing corporate culture was to push everything to the limits: business practices, laws and personal behavior’ (Raghavan et al., 2002). Enron Corp is a company that reached dramatic heights, only to face a dizzying collapse. The story ends with the bankruptcy of one of America's largest corporations. Enron's collapse affected the lives of thousands of employees and shook Wall Street to its core. At Enron's peak, its shares were worth $90.75, but after the company had declared bankruptcy on December 2, 2001, they plummeted to $0.67 by January 2002. To this day, many wonder how such a powerful business disintegrated almost overnight and how it managed to fo ...

ABSTRACT
The Massachusetts state pension fund has 9 percent of its $61 billion in hedge funds, even as the nation's largest
public pension fund, the California Public Employees' Retirement System, last year said it would exit the sector
entirely.
FULL TEXT
In the hedge fund world, even a mediocre year can be a very lucrative one.
Last year, the world's top 25 hedge fund managers earned roughly half their 2013 income and the smallest amount
since the 2008 financial crisis. But that still translated into astronomical paychecks: their collective income was
$11.6 billion.
Consider the estimated 2014 paycheck for Jonathon S. Jacobson, founder of Boston-based Highfields Capital
Management. The former Harvard University endowment manager accustomed to rock star status in his field
made $50 million, according to an annual list published this week by Institutional Investor's Alpha, a trade
publication.
Jacobson's compensation may seem spectacular, but it amounted to just one-tenth of the $500 million he is
estimated to have made the previous year. And Highfields, which manages $12.5 billion, produced a percentage
return only in the low-single-digits.
Among the top 25 hedge fund managers, the average pay was $467 million last year, down from $846 million in
2013, according to Institutional Investor's calculations. Three earned more than $1 billion last year. Jacobson just
barely made the top 50, coming in last on the list.
The only other Massachusetts investor on the roster was Seth Klarman, chief executive of Baupost Group, one of
Boston's largest hedge fund firms, with $28.5 billion under management. Klarman ranked number 26, with
estimated pay of $170 million last year.
Klarman is considered a value investor who looks for bargains and unusual investments. As energy investments
tanked last year, for instance, Baupost started looking for deals, according to a Bloomberg News report.
The firm delivered returns of 7 to 8 percent last year, according to a person briefed on the results.
That may sound modest to ordinary investors, who typically gauge their returns against the Standard &Poor's 500
index of large stocks, which rose 13.7 percent last year. But that's not the only measuring stick many hedge fund
clients use.
Industrywide, the average hedge fund return last year was 2.9 percent, according to the Barclay Hedge Fund Index,
which gathers data from thousands of firms. Within that universe hedge fund managers produce varying results
with many approaches, from betting that stocks will rise or fall to investing in bonds, commodities, market sectors,
and numerous other styles. Many of those funds struggle in periods when stocks are rising sharply.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

@Pi_vendor_247
what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

An outstanding line-up of
investors, fund managers
and industry experts:
Who Will Attend:
Dear Colleague,
Clearly, 2009 is a year of tremendous opportunity for investors in life settlements and longevity.More seniors are turning to the life settlement option than ever before, increasing the amount ofproduct on the market and creating a strong negotiating position for investors. At the same time,global stock volatility is intensifying the need to diversify with an uncorrelated asset. Lifesettlements, it seems, have never been such a great investment.
It isn’t all roses, however. Following the life expectancy revision in 2008, many investors lost moneyon their portfolios and there remains widespread uncertainty regarding LEs currently in place. Canthe new LEs be trusted? Will they too be revised upwards in the next few years? What caninvestors do to guard against that extension risk? Furthermore, the environment for investing in lifesettlements grows increasingly more complicated with new tax rulings, regulatory changes and alack of nationwide consensus on the definition of “insurable interest”. The opportunities are real,but the complexity is real too.
Taking place in New York City from September 30th – October 1st, IQPC’s 2nd Life Settlements &Longevity Summit has been specifically designed to help you – the investor – make sense of theopportunities and pitfalls of this exciting investment class. Whether you’re an experienced investor– keen to maximize your existing investment – or new to the market and still evaluating thesuitability of the asset class, this conference delivers invaluable insights from investors, fundmanagers and industry experts, ensuring you make the best possible decisions for superior returns.

See page 3 for further details.
• Want to know how institutional investors are evaluating the asset class?Don’t miss out on your chance to meet with Steven Bloom of APG, Ron Steijn of ABB PensionFund and Rene Nunez of Texas Permanent School Fund – among many others – in a closed-door Pension & Endowment Fund Think Tank that’s dedicated to the concerns of institutionalinvestors.

• Interested in a fresh perspective on the life expectancy discussion?IQPC is excited and honored to announce a special medical guest debate, featuring world-renowned gerontologist Dr. Aubrey de Grey in an explosive showdown with Dr. S. JayOlshansky, Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, on the future ofhuman longevity and the prospects for radical lifespan enhancement. See page 4 for furtherdetails.

11:50 Medical Life Expectancy Debate - The Future of Human Longevity
Is Radical Human Lifespan Extension Within Our Grasp?
Dr. Aubrey De Grey
Chairman & Founder
Methuselah
Foundation
Dr. Jay Olshanksy
Professor of Epidemiology
University of Illinois at
Chicago
VS
YES
“Aging is the lifelong accumulation of bodily damage. Its immense
complexity focuses gerontologists on modest medical goals: essentially,
optimizing our natural anti-aging defenses. Skeptics like Jay neglect the
burgeoning field of regenerative medicine, which promises repair of bodily
damage, and which could therefore postpone aging indefinitely. In fact,
experts in all relevant strands of regenerative medicine now aim to treat
aging - despite what Jay says!
I thus estimate a 50% chance of radical life extension arriving in 25-30 years.
Moreover, corresponding results in mice could occur within ten years, which
will alter public expectations and force dramatic changes in policy.”
NO
Radical life extension is not going to happen (if it ever happens) in time
to influence any of the investment decisions made by those involved with
life settlements or insurance linked securities. Nothing in gerontology
even comes close to fulfilling the promise of dramatically extended
human lifespans – despite what Aubrey says!
However, anyone interested in investing in life settlements should
develop a sound understanding of the biological and demographic
dynamics that drive mortality trends at older ages. Attending this debate
will deepen your understanding of the factors that affect longevity, and
may make you a smarter investor.

“Immunizing” the Secondary Market Buyer: The 5 Things You MUST Do Before Buying a Life Settlements
Portfolio
A
4:00 pm – 6:00 pm (Registration at 3:45 pm)
The normal strategy for investing in the secondary market is to purchase a
ready-made portfolio of life settlements. While purchasing an existing pool
of insurance policies may appear to be a quick way for fund managers to
enter the market, there is also an alternative view: namely that the time
and energy needed to perform the proper due diligence on an existing
portfolio of policies is better allocated to building a new portfolio from
scratch.
What You Will Learn:
•
Weigh up due diligence activity on an existing life settlements portfolio
with the time needed to create a customized portfolio: Where is your
time better spent?
•
Define the parameters of your portfolio: Align risk, price and volatility
factors with your overall investment strategy
•
Select between LE market segments: 2-4 year LEs vs. 12 years+
•
Examining the mechanics of life settlement aggregation: Painless
strategies for producing a transparent, optimized portfolio
How You Will Benefit:
•
Invest in life settlements without due diligence headaches
•
Determine the characteristics of your portfolio in advance
•
Design a life settlements portfolio that better suits your overall
investment strategy

"Investors are attracted to life settlements because insurance is seen as a
noncorrelated alternative asset. Life settlements provide noncorrelated
diversification because insurance policies are independent of the factors
contributing to economic downturns, such as interest rate fluctuations
and increasing fuel cost. As a result, life settlements are one way to
reduce a portfolio's exposure to sudden downturns in the stock and
bond markets," – Conning Research & Consulting
“Experts predict explosive growth in life settlements over the next
decade as a result of increasing amounts of institutional capital being
pumped into the system as well as a growing demographic of elderly,
well-off individuals to ensure a generous supply of life insurance
policies.” – Nuwire Investor Magazine

For over 25 years, Coventry has been redefining insurance. Founded in 1982, Coventry began as an insurance marketing, product development
and policy administration firm. Known as a leading innovator in the industry, Coventry assisted insurance carriers in the development of product,
software and distribution. It established itself as one of the top corporate life insurance companies in America during the 1990s, servicing over
70,000 policies for its corporate clients. In 1998, Coventry created the secondary market for life insurance in the United States and coined the
term “life settlement”. As the market leader, Coventry has structured and financed transactions representing more than $25 billion of death
benefit and has been a key driver behind the market’s rapid growth. Today, Coventry is the largest purchaser and servicer in the longevity and
mortality market, employing more than 200 people. Based in Pennsylvania, Coventry was the first secondary market firm to earn Standard and
Poor’s highest servicer ranking (2004 and reaffirmed in 2006). In 2005, Coventry was first in revenue in the insurance category of the annual Inc.

At LIFE EQUITY, our pricing philosophy is governed by the standard that two policies with the same criteria will receive the same offer. We believe

financial planning. Our funding comes from top-rated financial institutions and not from private investors. LIFE EQUITY makes direct contact with
policy owners or their intermediaries regarding offers made. This practice assures a more efficient and expeditious process. Website:
