  • 美国利率下降冲击银行抵押贷款服务权价值

    利率下降通常对银行的抵押贷款业务有利,但有时也不尽然。

    抵押贷款服务权价值是银行抵押贷款业务的关键部分。第二季度利率下降对抵押贷款服务权价值造成冲击,拖累了富国银行(Wells Fargo & Co. ,WFC)、摩根大通公司(JPMorgan Chase & Co. ,JPM)和其他贷款机构原本强劲的住房贷款业务。

    抵押贷款服务包括对住房贷款收取还款和履行其他管理职责,但利率下降时,这些抵押贷款的服务权价值通常会下降。

    富国银行说,第二季度抵押贷款服务权的价值为121亿美元,较第一季度末下降9%。富国银行是抵押贷款服务权第一大行。该业务第二大银行摩根大通表示,第二季度抵押贷款服务权价值下降15%至51亿美元。

    利率下降通常会刺激借款人申请住房贷款或进行再融资,但上述变动显示出利率下降的另一面。联邦住房贷款抵押公司(Freddie Mac, 简称:房地美)数据显示,第二季度末,30年期固定抵押贷款平均利率为3.73%,低于第二季度初的4.08%。经过几年加息后,美国联邦储备委员会(简称:美联储)已经暗示准备降息,这转而会降低抵押贷款和其他债务的借贷成本。

    不过,尽管较低的利率可能刺激抵押贷款的发放,但通常会损害服务权的账面价值。这是因为较低的利率使房主更有可能为抵押贷款进行再融资,或以其他方式提前还清贷款,这意味着服务方失去了这一未来收入的来源。

    这可能是一项单调乏味的业务,但对许多贷款机构来说却很重要。贷款机构可为自己发放的抵押贷款提供服务,也可购买其他贷款机构发放的抵押贷款的服务权。对于一些机构来说,这样做可以产生稳定的收入。举例来说,Citizens Financial Group Inc.去年收购了一家贷款机构,其服务的抵押贷款规模随之增加了一倍,使得抵押贷款银行业务收入猛增。

    在上周发布的第二财季业绩报告中,银行披露这些资产的价值大幅下降。为抵押贷款服务交易提供咨询的SitusAMC董事总经理Mark Garland说,迄今为止公布业绩的银行抵押贷款服务权益业务的公允价值普遍缩水7%至10%。

    抵押贷款服务业务的下降速度让许多高管措手不及。

    标普全球评级(S&P Global Ratings)信贷分析师Stephen Lynch表示:“当利率朝着一个方向稳步而不是快速变动时,抵押贷款公司表现最好。”Lynch称:“我们肯定看到了错乱。”

    银行通常使用衍生品来防范其服务权价值的波动,这种做法被称为对冲。但当利率快速下降时,这种做法就会变得更加困难。一些贷款机构透露,他们的对冲操作反而让自己手足无措。Garland表示,这是一个很难展开对冲的季度。

    当银行提供抵押贷款服务时,他们可抽取贷款还款的一小部分。许多银行接受这项工作是因为可借此与借款人建立联系,并设法向他们销售其他银行产品,同时还能获得收入。

    根据行业研究机构Inside Mortgage Finance 3月底的数据,银行为大约3.6万亿美元的抵押贷款提供服务,这些抵押贷款被打包成房利美或联邦住房贷款抵押公司(Freddie Mac, 简称:房地美)的证券,或者出售给其他投资者。

    随着抵押贷款利率触及多年高点,买卖服务权去年成为一项热门交易。此类交易已随今年利率的下降冷却下来。根据Inside Mortgage Finance的数据,在第一季度利率下降的情况下,房利美、房地美和美国政府国民抵押贷款协会(Ginnie Mae)易手的服务权价值为1,357亿美元,较前一季度减少400亿美元左右。

  • 银行理财产品及类型入门介绍

    银行理财产品及类型入门介绍

    每天都想学理财,看到五花八门的理财产品眼泪差点掉下来。其实一般投资的入门就是买银行理财,了解银行的理财产品是理财小白必经的过程。本期将为大家简单介绍银行理财产品及类型,方便大家尽早入门。

    1 什么是银行理财产品

    银行理财产品是由商业银行自主开发的,将筹到的资金投入金融市场,获得投资收益后,根据合同约定,将收益分配给投资人。

    目前全国的银行理财产品已突破30亿元,成为我国居民的主要理财工具。想投资理财的朋友,可以试试先从银行理财产品入手。

    2 银行理财产品的两种类型

    银行理财产品并不复杂,总得来说分为两种:预期收益型和净值型。

    1、预期收益型

    购买时会告诉你一个“预期收益率”,但最后的收益还要看实际投资的咋样。到期前你也没法知道自己投资的产品投的咋样了,不能提前知道真实的收益和风险大小。

    2、净值型

    不提供“预期收益”参考,但是会定期以净值的形式公布投资的情况,投成啥样是啥样,大家能更真实感受到产品的价值及风险波动,最后盈亏也需要大家自主承担。净值型理财将会是未来的趋势,它有利于保护投资者的利益,也有助于资产管理行业的健康发展。

  • 10年申请21张信用卡历程总结

    10年申请21张信用卡历程总结

    本人09年大学申请信用卡开始,已经不知不觉过了10年了,前几天查信用报告已经有170个账户数,觉得是时候该总结一下我的申卡历程了:
    1.人生中第一张信用卡——交通银行Y-Power ED:2000
    当时在某个公司实行,有交行办卡员来扫楼,团办的,这是本人第一张信用卡,信用报告还是白纸一张,可恶交行给我下了2000的卡,这给我后面的卡带来了巨大的困扰,以至于所有的卡几乎都在几千的额度左右。用了一段时间后,把卡注销了,过了记不清几个月申请额度变成10000,刷了两个月左右提到12000以后再也提不动了,于是又注销掉,过了几个月再申请,额度变成17000,同样销了,然后各种拒,搬砖沃德达标一样拒,目前不持有该行卡。
    2.第二张卡——中信银行 银联普卡ED:2000
    有了第一张,就想办第二张,网申被拒,于是去网点提供实习的工作证,工作证明,下卡了,额度参考了交行把,也是2000,同样因为额度低,注销了,再次申请额度变成5000,用了一段时间额度提到8000,申请i白金各种无征信被拒,当时i白金是1W起步,申请了很多次,最后一次来征信电话了,我说你们银行差这2000额度吗?用的最多的就是你们银行的卡,然后客服一直抱歉,挂了电话审核通过,额度曲线1W,后来不知道怎么提到12000,然后注销再申请变成20000,后来精简卡片把3w以下的都注销了,没过几天又申请也过了,额度变成30000,目前持有i白金,额度3W
    3.第三张卡——建设银行春秋航空金卡ED:5000
    本人在外地上大学,又一次开学坐春秋航空的航班,飞机上在推信用卡,然后就要表填了,后来都忘了有这回事,突然收到批卡短信,收到一看额度5000,当时还是最高额度的卡,然后开始狠刷,提到了9000,然后死活提不动,后来正式工作了办卡ETC额度竟然5000,后来精简3W以下额度卡就给注销了,后来行数太多,怎么也办不下来,就是单位团办公务卡也一直拒绝,目前不持有该行卡。
    4.第四张卡——民生银行in卡普卡ED:5000
    同样也是实习的时候和同事团办,其他同事下卡金卡额度有1W有2W,只有我是个普卡只有5000,可能参考了建行,也是万年不提,后来收到短信邀请升级金卡,额度变成1W,后来注销再申请,变成3W,目前持有标准白金,额度3W。
    5.招商银行Young卡 ED;10000
    临近毕业,申请了招商的卡,那时候招商活动非常多,也好办,就找卡员办了一张,下卡额度1W,用了不到1年半,额度就升到2W,5万毕业了网点申请银联白两次都过不了,目前持有王者荣耀卡额度5W,万年大黑屋。
    6.平安银行淘宝普卡 ED:20000
    刚开始申请平安秒拒,后来更换工作单位试了一下,审核一天就过了,额度更是给了2W,非常意外,然后精简卡给消掉了,后来再申请还是2W,精英白年费政策更改,于是又申请了精英白,收到竟然曲线到了4W,目前持有精英白,额度4W
    7.浦发银行 加速白 ED:忘了??
    浦发也是拒的我不要不要的,后来多次申请终于下卡,额度记不太清,就是几千吧,后来销了再办提到了2W,后来就终身2W,精简卡片给注销了,然后再也无法下卡,目前不持有该行卡。
    8.广发银行万事达普卡 ED:7000
    当时本地无网点,就被拒绝了,后来接到广发的邀请电话,邀请我办卡,说让我填个有网点的地方,由于上学的地方有,于是找同学要了公司地址,异地申请,后来广发给我打电话打到了现在的工作单位,这是让我觉得神奇的地方,反正给我批卡了,额度只有7K,后来去杭州激活的卡,用了一段时间,申请高铁白,额度变成4W,然后一路提额度提到了74000,目前有两年没提过了,目前持有高铁白,额度7.4W
    9.光大银行 旅游卡 ED:10000

    10.兴业银行 低碳信用卡ED:30000
    网点提交,这次不是网申了,只交了工作证明,工作牌,他行卡,网点的人还说这样不一定额度高,征信电话都没接到,结果批卡3W,当时给我很大的惊喜,一直主刷,提到了33500,后来去网点办二卡睿白金,三年没提过了额度了,买了30砖理财,邮件提额也没过,目前持有睿白金,额度3,35W
    11.中国银行 银联金卡额度:7000
    当时去网点办的,提供了购房合同,工作证明,工作牌,但是网点可能觉得资质不行,就没给我提交资料,一怒之下投诉了,然后网点来电话道歉,我说要尽快审核并且网点推荐,最后下卡7000,也是怎么都不提,注销了,后来申请一直被拒,有一次过了只有2000额度,不知道中行怎么审批的,2000没开卡就销了,后来赶上去年莫奈放水,拿下0001,目前持有0001终免,额度4W。
    12.工商银行 大来金卡 额度20000
    都知道大妈行难下卡,自己申请了无数次都过不了,后来老妈找了行长,跟老妈一起办的,下了2W的卡,后来忘了怎么提到了4W,有一次邀请提高额度,5W封顶,就成功了,目前持有交通金卡,额度5W
    13.农业银行 ETC 额度10000
    之前也是被各种拒,后来去网点办的ETC,本地分行征信,嘿嘿嘿和我聊得很愉快,还要给我介绍对象,我问他能不能批卡,他说能,我说额度能上1万吗?嘿嘿嘿说能,结果批了1W的ETC,不懂临时额度的坑,后来3+1稳定提额到15000,然后25000,悠然白曲线到30000,后来提额到40000,再提到60000,目前持有悠然白,额度6W
    14.邮政银行标准金卡 额度30000
    老油子开放网申,申请了来电征信,下卡3W,目前没提过额度,也不怎么刷,目前持有标准金额度3W
    15.华夏银行环球精英白金卡 额度40000
    自己申请还是拒,找办卡员下卡40000,主刷了几个月不提,目前冷冻刷刷星巴克,目前持有s-mart,额度4W
    16.渤海银行普卡 17000
    当时复印资料网点失误没印清楚,也没联系我,等了一个多月查不到进度,就投诉了网点,后来网点协调解决,下卡17000,精简卡片注销了,再申请被拒,目前不持有该行卡
    17.东亚银行 携程联名卡 额度20000
    当时跟风申请了携程卡,额度还凑合2W,精简3万以下额度就销了,后来申请去哪联名卡,下卡5000,也注销了,目前不持有该行卡。
    18.张家口银行纪念卡 额度7000
    刚开放网申,申请了进度都查不到,过了半个多月突然来短信批卡7000,额度太低注销,目前不持有该行卡。
    19.河北银行金卡 额度5000
    河北银行因为坏账太多不开放申请信用卡业务,但是身为河北人还是想有一张,但是当时行数太多了,网点不愿意给办,后来瞒着我告诉我没过,就把网点投诉了,后来给我正常提交批卡5000,后来找人存钱提额提到50000,目前持有金卡,额度5W
    20.浙商银行额度500
    当时异地下卡都是500,审核了半年,下卡就销了
    21.温州银行51信用卡 额度20000
    贷款卡没啥意思,就销了

    以上是本人10年来用卡历程,也有很多后悔的地方,比如建行超过五六行就无法下卡都不知道,要是知道当时就留火种了,目前13行50多万的总授信,也遇到额度无法调整的瓶颈,办新卡也办不下来,本来想消掉7行留下农业、中国、工商、河北、邮政、广发、光大的。但是销卡还真有点舍不得!

    是一张”ETC信用卡”,

    平时一直插在自己的车里。

    “我车上这块装了专门过高速用的ETC,

    而且这个ETC卡是我的一张信用卡 ,

    绑定手机银行的。”

    随后吕先生调取车库监控,

    发现事发的前一天下午6点左右,

    一名男子在小区附近转悠,

    随后钻过栏杆进入地下车库。

    男子首先来到一辆轿车旁边,

    用手挡了一下,

    似乎没有看到这辆车装有ETC装置,

    随即又走到另外的车旁边,

    从裤子口袋掏出一个设备,

    对着ETC装置进行扫描。

    期间遇到有人来就赶紧停手,

    人走之后再次作案。

    从监控中可以看到,该男子对包括吕先生车在内的很多车都查看扫描。附近小区也有业主反映称,自己的ETC卡也险些被盗刷,但因为设置了密码,所以对方没有得手。

    而吕先生的ETC卡,恰恰设置了“一千元以下免密免签”功能,也就是金额只要不超过1000元,刷卡无需输入密码,也无需签名,这才让人盗刷成功。

    目前,吕先生已经向辖区派出所报案,警方仍在进一步调查之中。

    开通“闪付”和“小额免密”

    银行卡被盗刷近2千元

    无独有偶,6月4日下午5点,贵州省安顺市民丁先生突然接到银行短信,称自己的ETC信用卡有两笔金额为998元的消费。意识到自己的银行卡正在被盗刷,他立刻进行了挂失。

    原来,丁先生的信用卡开通了“闪付”功能和“小额免密”功能,如果单笔金额低于1000元,不需要密码和签字也能支付,犯罪嫌疑人就拿着pos机隔着车窗将其信用卡盗刷了。

    ETC信用卡

    可因“闪付”功能被盗刷

    目前由银行与ETC运营方联合发行的二合一卡片,如果带有闪付功能且开通了“小额免密免签”业务,存在被盗刷的风险。而且这样的卡放在钱包、口袋里也会被盗刷!

    不法分子利用了银联卡小额免密免签功能,通过“闪付”功能直接刷取与ETC联合发行的银行卡账户资金,并非ETC卡账户资金,与是否绑定ETC账户没有关系。

    而单独用途的ETC卡不具备金融功能,不存在盗刷风险。

    视频案例中展示的盗刷行为,实际上涉嫌犯罪。视频中POS机具的使用也违反了《银行卡收单业务管理办法》中的相关规定,或将面临处罚。

    别慌!

    这种盗刷完全可以避免

    如何防止ETC卡被盗刷?

    1、关闭小额免密免签功能。关闭后不影响公路通行。车主只要拨打开卡行的客服电话,找人工客服就可关闭双免功能。

    2、下车拔卡。开通闪付功能的ETC卡不要在车里插着,下车第一时间一定要把卡拔下来,随身携带。随身携带的情况下,用衣服和包隔的厚一点,防止被盗刷。如果发现被盗刷,第一时间选择报警。

    3、开通短信提示功能。ETC信用卡使用者,最好开通短信提醒功能,万一被盗刷,马上就能知道。一旦发现信用卡被盗刷,也可以拨打发卡银行电话申请赔付。

    4、提示在发现被盗刷后,及时取证并报警。

  • 欠债太多?难以上岸?做到这五点,上岸对你而言就不会再是镜中花水中月

    欠债太多?难以上岸?做到这五点,上岸对你而言就不会再是镜中花水中月

    负债太多,惶惶不可终日,感觉自己上岸遥遥无期,整天活在痛苦与纠结中。难道上岸真的就有那么困难吗?

    首先咱们先分析一下,你为什么会负债累累,债台高筑?有的是因为创业失败造成的,有的是因为要满足自己的虚荣心高消费,入不敷出造成的,最可恨的是那些为了赌博而造成的负债累累,债台高筑。如果想要上岸,就必须要做到以下五点。

    其一,必须要找出自己为什么会变成现在这个样子的根本原因。只有找到问题的根源,才能对症下药,药到病除。不然,就算这次你成功上岸了,那下次呢?下下次呢?不找到问题的根源,你还能经得起几次这样的轮回?

    其二,必须改掉自己现在的这种怨天尤人,自甘堕落的态度。人不自救,天难救,人若自强,可胜天!一切都在你的一念之间。如今的你已经将你的痛苦绝望表现的淋漓至尽了,但是你得到帮助了没有?有没有因为你的悲催遭遇而选择伸出援助之手帮你一把的?有没有因为你的痛苦绝望而对你网开一面的债主?没有吧!正如你走在路上,你会对一条濒临死亡的流浪狗伸出援助之手吗?不会吧,你只会选择站在一边静静的看着它在痛苦的挣扎中死去。就如现在的你一样,一个被负能量,消极情绪占领了的你,就算是再痛苦,再悲伤。所换来的也只是别人漠视与嘲讽。毕竟大家都很忙,谁会无聊到去帮助你这一个自甘堕落的人?他们帮助的只有那些值得他们的帮助的人,而消极的你们却恰恰不在其中。所以,改变自己的消极情绪,势在必行!

    其三,必须停止你的以贷养贷。如果你一直这样拆东墙补西墙,你将永远也上不了岸,逾期了不可怕,大不了上五年的征信黑名单罢了,但是如果你一直以贷养贷下去,那就不是五年能换回来了,最后的你可能只剩背负着一世骂名落魄的死在异国他乡了。

    其四,寻找自己力所能及的工作。如果你一没技术,二没能力,就踏踏实实的找份稳定的工作好好上班,利用空余的时间找份兼职做做,想尽一切的办法去提升你的收入。现在的你已经无路可退了,再不逼自己一把,难道你真就计划这样孤独的死去吗?如果真是这样,请记住逼死你的不是高额的债务,而是你那愚不可及的懒惰!

    其五,用实际行动去证明自己。只有当你真正行动起来的时候,你才会发现原来上岸并没有你想的那么艰难。因为当你真正开始工作的时候,你想的最多的就是如何赚取更多的钱,而不是从哪里还能借到钱。当你可以有存款的时候,你就会发现赚钱并没有想象的那么艰难,上岸也并没有想象的遥不可及。

    只要你能做到这五点,上岸对你而言就不会再是镜中花水中月,可望而不可即了。相信自己,你一定可以上岸的,加油!

  • 老司机也会中招的ETC卡被盗刷

    老司机也会中招的ETC卡被盗刷

    最近总是听到一个段子

    说的是如果你在路边看见

    西装革履的人来偷瞄车窗

    请不要以为他们是要向

    你推销房子的地产中介

    他们只是被银行下了ETC指标的工作人员

    不是老司机的宝宝们可能会一脸懵逼

    这是什么梗?什么是ETC?

    其实,ETC简单来说就是

    一个快捷收费通道

    较人工通道来讲

    可实现不停车收费的一个专用通道

    像我们在高速路口的时候

    会看到有一条写着ETC通道的路口

    想要走ETC通道

    那就需要先办理一张ETC专用卡

    与之配合的是一套ETC专用设备

    一同安装在前挡风玻璃上面

    在车辆靠近收费站的时候

    可以释放出无线电波

    从而和ETC通道(和银行后台连接)

    进行短时的通讯

    达到一个自动扣费的目的

    老司机都知道,平时开车出高速路口

    特别是节假日过

    高速人工收费通道总会堵得心塞

    然而使用ETC可以减轻车流

    降低堵车风险

    同时也可以减轻收费站工作负担

    节省人工成本

    所以,我国要求今年年底

    全国ETC收费道口要普及达到90%以上

    在机场、火车站、客运站

    港口码头等大型交通场站停车场

    还是居民小区、旅游景区等

    停车场所都会使用ETC的

    可想而知有了ETC之后会有多方便

    但是呢,有一些不法分子

    就看到了“赚钱”的商机

    就在7月14日下午的时候

    有一位家住西安昆明路的吕先生

    就收到银行短信

    发现自己绑定私家车ETC的银行卡

    被人刷走了三笔总计2000元钱

    之后,吕先生查找监控发现

    一名男子事发时进入小区车库附近转悠

    手持一个设备

    对多辆车的ETC装置进行扫描

    原来,吕先生被盗刷的卡

    就放在车内的ETC装置上

    并且开通了

    一千元以下免密支付功能

    这才让不法分子有机可乘

    只要不法分子手持POS设备

    滴一声,你的钱就被刷走了

    那么,很多车主宝宝们就开始害怕了

    原本怕被盗刷所以一直没装

    可现在国家强制要安装ETC

    这安全问题咋办啊

    其实啊,并非所有类型的ETC

    都存在被盗刷的可能性

    一般情况下我们需要

    针对不同类型的ETC卡来分析一下

    哪种ETC卡存在被盗刷风险?

    目前使用的ETC卡主要有三种形式:

    第一种是交管部门自己发行的单用途ETC卡,不具备金融功能,与银行体系不兼容,所以不会被银行通用的POS机随随便便就刷得走钱的,不存在盗刷风险。

    第二种是交管部门与银行联合发行,客户这一头依然是只有一张交通行业单用途ETC卡,然后和自己的银行借记卡绑定,车上使用的ETC卡也一样不具备金融功能,所以也不存在盗刷风险。

    第三种叫做“联名卡”,这是交管部门与银行联合发行二合一的卡片,一般都带有“闪付”功能。如果这类卡带闪付功能且开通了“小额免密免签”,则存在被盗刷的风险。

    如何避免ETC卡被盗刷?

    1、关闭小额免密免签功能。如果你使用的是带金融功能的银行卡作为ETC卡,则建议关闭“小额免密免签”功能,关闭后不影响公路通行。

    2、不使用时不插卡、下车拔卡。开通闪付功能的ETC卡,不使用时不插卡,使用后下车一定要把卡拔下来,卡片随身携带。

    3、开通短信提醒。ETC信用卡使用者,最好开通短信提醒功能,万一被盗刷,马上就能知道。

    4、提示在发现被盗刷后,及时取证并报警。

    最后跟大家总结一下

    如果不法分子想要盗刷你ETC的话

    必须满足两个条件

    第一是你的ETC里插入的是“联名卡”

    而非ETC专用储值卡

    第二是你的“联名卡”还开通了闪付功能

    如果这两个条件都满足的话

    那盗贼就可以轻松盗刷走你们的钱啦

    所以啊,各位车主宝宝们

    赶紧去看看自己的ETC卡是哪种类型的吧

    如果是“联名卡”有闪付功能的话

    记得一定要关闭小额免密付款哦

    出门在外多处都要留些心眼儿

    才能保护好自己的财产安全哦~

  • Midyear Review: 5 Lessons for Commercial Real Estate in 2019

    Midyear Review: 5 Lessons for Commercial Real Estate in 2019

    Halfway through the year, we revisit the trends, challenges and opportunities facing commercial real estate owners and investors—and how things have changed since the beginning of 2019.

    At the beginning of 2019, we anticipated a slowdown in growth across all commercial real estate (CRE) asset classes for the rest of the year. But six months in, we’ve been met with pleasant surprises. Due in part to an unexpected decrease in mortgage rates and a persistently strong US economy, the CRE market has enjoyed continued growth in the first half of 2019.
    These positive trends are likely to continue through the rest of 2019, although CRE owners should remain prudent and prepare for an eventual correction in the US markets. Here are several important lessons for CRE investors at the midpoint of 2019.

    1.Mortgage Rates and Economy Are Providing an Unexpected Boost
    As the year began, the Federal Reserve was expected to continue regular interest rate hikes. In March, however, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell indicated the central bank was taking a wait-and-see approach on further rate increases this year. This boosted demand for Treasurys and drove down mortgage rates, an unexpected but welcome surprise for the CRE industry.

    Meanwhile, the US economy continues to perform well. Unemployment fell to 3.6 percent in May—the lowest rate in nearly 50 years—and wages are expanding. Although the economy will eventually see a correction, it seems unlikely to happen this year.

    2.Optimism Continues Across Most Asset Classes
    The four CRE asset classes (office, industrial, multifamily and retail) are in a healthy environment. Growing wages are beneficial for rents in the multifamily asset class, particularly in the largest metro areas, where rent constitutes an outsized portion of renters’ income. One area to watch is rent concessions on Class A apartments. During the previous six to nine months, investors have seen some concessions—but given higher rents for high-end units, these concessions aren’t currently having a large impact.

    As we noted at the beginning of the year, the office class has finally recovered from the 2008 recession; it has continued to enjoy growth halfway through 2019. The industrial class is performing well in every market, driven by e-commerce business demand for space in proximity to major metro areas. As Amazon, Walmart and other companies increase online sales, they require more industrial space to house the logistics of distributing online purchases.

    The trends in online shopping continue to pressure the retail class, although there is nuance. As consumers shift away from shopping at mall anchors, the Class B and Class C malls are challenged to attract retailers and shoppers alike. However, some retailers are using innovative tactics that blend online, mobile and brick-and-mortar strategies, which are fueling positive trends for A-class retail properties.

    3.Millennials Still Lead the Push Toward Urban Living
    The millennial generation and those behind it continue to show a strong preference for living in vibrant metro areas. In most markets, millennial renters typically value proximity to work and social activities over building space or amenities. The greatest increase in value in the multifamily asset class is found in major cities, owing largely to these millennial renters.

    In the highest-paying job markets, one challenge is that there isn’t enough affordable housing to accommodate demand. Additionally, there’s limited need for the high-end multifamily buildings that are being built today—instead, younger renters in every market are moving into potentially less developed urban areas to find more affordable housing.

    Notably, while the millennial cohort’s renting preferences are largely consistent across the country, some older millennials in markets such as Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are following the more traditional renter-to-buyer cycle and are purchasing homes in suburban areas.

    4.New Construction Provides Challenges and Opportunities
    Incentives in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may help address the growing demand for affordable housing. The Opportunity Zones program provides tax incentives for investing in low-income communities. For investors, the program is an opportunity to save on capital gains while developing units in areas where it might otherwise be difficult to build. And it’s not just housing. New retail properties, such as grocery stores, simultaneously cater to the local community and catalyze further investment and economic activity.

    While these and other CRE investments offer big opportunities, one dominant challenge is the shortage of skilled labor. As baby boomers exit the workforce, younger generations eschew skilled trades and immigration policies restrict new workers from entering the country, there’s an intense need for labor—not only for new construction, but also for things like renovation and maintenance.

    5.The Down Cycle Isn’t Here Yet, but It’s Coming
    The economic data and trends in the CRE industry overall don’t suggest a looming correction, despite some concerns in late 2018. That said, the current cycle will end at some point, and rates will eventually increase. Knowing that, investors can plan ahead. CRE investors should stress test frequently to ensure they can withstand cash flow pressure if a correction occurs. They should also ensure they aren’t overleveraged in order to be able to weather a modest downturn and prepare for the next cycle.

    With our long-term experience in CRE, we constantly plan and prepare for an unforeseen downturn—even a potentially severe one—so that we’re always in a strong position to help our clients take advantage of the cycle. Even as CRE investors seize opportunities growing out of low rates and a strong economy, they should also continue to prepare for future opportunities by managing their debt and expenses and building the liquidity they need for the long term.

  • Mid-year Market Outlook 2019: Central Banks Stay Easy and in Sync

    Mid-year Market Outlook 2019: Central Banks Stay Easy and in Sync

    Key themes for investors in the second half of 2019, as global central bank easing becomes more synchronized.

    July 5, 2019

    Bond and equity markets have had a good first half of the year, boosted by dovish monetary policy from the world’s central banks, with the S&P 500 hitting another fresh record high. Following the June 2019 G-20 summit, where a U.S.-China trade truce was agreed for the time being, asset prices should be supported for the remainder of the year. Low single-digit returns are expected across most asset classes, as the global economy slips slowly into sub-trend growth and valuations are less attractive. In this report, the J.P. Morgan Research team explores how investors should be positioned for the second half of 2019 as central bank easing becomes more synchronized.

    Global Growth

    The dovish shift in global monetary policy continues to deepen, with macroeconomic policy support coming from the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) pivot and China’s fiscal easing. The Trump administration’s willingness to actively use trade barriers as a tool of broader foreign policy remains a key risk to monitor, despite the agreement to a second truce between the U.S. and China on trade negotiations. The business sector response to this assault, rather than the direct impact of higher tariffs, poses the greatest threat to global growth. ​

    “We have consequently downgraded global growth forecasts further. At the center of this storm, we have lowered GDP growth for the U.S. and China by an annualized 0.5 percentage points for the remaining quarters of 2019 and recently reduced second quarter U.S. GDP growth to 1.25%,” said J.P. Morgan Chief Economist, Bruce Kasman.

    Similar drags on growth are set to follow in other parts of the global economy and the central bank policy reaction is expected to be straightforward. China is committed to maintaining 6% growth and will respond to any slowing with further easing. In the U.S., the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is ready to respond to slowing GDP and job growth, with J.P. Morgan’s Economic Research team now forecasting two rate cuts later this year—one in July and another in September. A large number of central banks will likely follow suit, including the European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of Japan (BoJ) and 13 emerging market (EM) central banks.

    For the U.S., recession risks for the next twelve months have consequently risen— from roughly 25% last fall to around 45% currently.
    Bruce Kasman Chief Economist, J.P. Morgan
    “These additional policy supports, alongside healthy private sector fundamentals, underlie our view that the latest shocks won’t tip the global economy into recession. However, even a healthy expansion can be thrown off course if buffeted by a large enough shock. For the U.S., recession risks for the next twelve months have consequently risen—from roughly 25% last fall (September 2018) to around 45% currently,” said Kasman.

    The annual pace of global GDP growth in 2019 is now forecast at 2.7%, with the U.S. and euro area expected to come in at 2.4% and 1.2% over the same period respectively, according to J.P. Morgan estimates.

    Equities

    In total, J.P. Morgan now expects six developed market (DM) and 13 EM central banks to ease in the latter half of the year. Policy rates are estimated to decline by a GDP-weighted average of 29 basis points (bps) for DM central banks and 31 bps for EM central banks.

    This central bank dovishness, along with low positioning should support global equities through the global slowdown, but trade uncertainty remains the single largest source of downside risk. Existing tariffs are already pressuring profits, but this has been offset partially by the impact of the Tax Act so far. Companies will likely address this tariff impact in the upcoming reporting season with lower growth estimates. J.P. Morgan forecasts 2020 earnings per share (EPS) of $178 compared to a consensus of $186.

    We maintain our cautiously positive stance on equities and keep our S&P 500 price- target at 3,000 given our base-case view that trade tensions do not escalate into a stand off.
    Dubravko Lakos-Bujas Head of U.S. Equity Strategy, J.P. Morgan
    “We believe additional round of tariffs would increase the risk of pushing the U.S. business and profit cycle into an outright contraction. Had the phase three tariffs materialized, we estimated the first-order impact to be an additional hit of around $4 (cumulatively around $9) to S&P 500 EPS over one year,” said J.P. Morgan Head of U.S. Equity Strategy, Dubravko Lakos-Bujas.

    J.P. Morgan Research maintains its positive stance on equities and keeps its trade probability-weighted S&P 500 price-target at 3,000, given the base case view that trading tensions do not escalate into a standoff. However, if trade talks fully collapse and phase three tariffs are implemented without any indication of rollback, the S&P 500 could decline closer to 2,500, triggering both the “Trump Put” and “Fed Put.” In a more positive scenario of a trade deal and tariff rollback, earnings should see positive revisions with the S&P 500 reaching around 3,200. Regionally, J.P. Morgan Research maintains its preference for the U.S. versus Europe, despite a large 15% outperformance over the last year. In Asia, J.P. Morgan Research recently moved overweight Japan equities. ​

    “We have been cautious on Japan for a while, but have recently upgraded the country to overweight as the region has lagged and positioning in Japan is very light. While we believe Chinese policy stimulus will be effective, we are neutral emerging versus developed markets going into the second half, given unexciting valuations and continuing trade concerns,” said Head of Global and European Equity Strategy at J.P. Morgan, Mislav Matejka.

    Cross-Asset

    Four key macro and policy themes are set to influence markets at different speeds for the second half of the year and into 2020:

    1. President Trump’s unfinished trade, technology and budget wars
    2. Fed rate cuts as part of both standard risk management and once-in-a-generation regime change
    3. Broader “Japanization” – an extended period of stagnant growth, subdued inflation and ultra-low interest rates – across regions
    4. Late-cycle dynamics swayed more by geopolitics than by a restrictive Fed

    “As easing from both China and the Fed can probably offset the impact of current tariffs and prevent a 2019 recession, asset allocation remains cyclical. We are looking at this mainly through a preference for equities versus fixed income at the moment,” said Head of Cross-Asset Fundamental Strategy, John Normand.

    Central bank policy has eroded most carry in bonds – the yield of the bond minus the financing or the cost of owning a bond – which means income-seeking investors have no choice but to own assets with returns that are much more cyclical than they might prefer.

    As easing from both China and the Fed can probably offset the impact of current tariffs and prevent a 2019 recession, asset allocation remains cyclical.
    John Normand Head of Cross-Asset Fundamental Strategy, J.P. Morgan
    “We hold equities versus credit rather than bonds to reduce risk to the global business cycle and we hold no net exposure to emerging markets,” added Normand.

    Commodities

    Traditionally, low growth and inflationary environments tend to be negative for commodities. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+), the oil producer group that pumps more than half of the world’s crude along with its allies, has resolutely adhered to its commitment to help balance markets since the end of 2016. J.P. Morgan Research expects this commitment to remain in the current fragile market as suggested by discussions between the Saudi and Russian leaders at the June 2019 G-20 summit.

    “As long as demand does not crater, heightened geopolitical risks and OPEC+ cuts should still be enough for oil to provide positive returns for the latter part of this year,” said J.P. Morgan Head of Oil Market Research and Strategy, Abhishek Deshpande. The July OPEC summit, along with Iran tensions, should keep Brent in the $60 per barrel range. U.S. natural gas, on the other hand, looks more vulnerable, as it gradually shifts from supply-driven to supply-demand dynamics, given the growing links to economies abroad.

    Bullish second half forecasts for oil, agriculture and precious metals should push broader commodities indices around
    over the balance of the year.
    6-9% higher
    In metals, “safe haven” precious metals have historically held up best in low growth environments, while demand-driven base metals face the highest risks to the downside.

    Current Fed policy should support the gold price above $1,400 per ounce. At current spot levels, base metal prices are still too rich versus global growth — a valuation gap that should further close if growth does not recover, according to J.P. Morgan estimates. Similar to oil, supply-sensitive agriculture products still have upside potential for the second half. All in all, bullish second half forecasts for oil, agriculture and precious metals should push broader commodities indices around 6-9% higher over the balance of the year.

    Rates

    U.S. rates markets are pricing in a more dovish path for the Fed than J.P. Morgan current forecasts, which could lead to the market continuing to price an aggressive path in the second half of the year. The FOMC has less room to ease than in past cycles and Fed Chair Jerome Powell has indicated a willingness to act more aggressively because of this binding constraint. The Committee is also very focused on keeping inflation expectations anchored.

    “We see further room for yields to decline over the balance of the year and we forecast a decline in 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields to 1.40% and 1.75%, respectively, by year-end,” said J.P. Morgan Head of USD Government Bond Strategy, Jay Barry.

    The second half of 2019 will also bring synchronized easing across DM central banks, with the ECB and the BoJ following the expected Fed rate cuts.

    Elsewhere in Europe, the Bank of England and Scandinavian central banks are on hold. The universe of negative-yielding bonds has increased to 27% of the Global Aggregate Bond Index (GABI), up nearly 10 percentage points from October 2018. Geopolitical risks and Brexit will remain in the spotlight, with a late focus on Italy because of expected general elections and a demanding 2020 budget. In the Euro area a 10 bps cut in the deposit rate is expected in September without tiering, but Euro area rates will be mostly driven by the market pricing an increasing probability of further easing.

    respectively, by year-end.
    a decline in 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields to 1.40% and 1.75%,
    Jay Barry Head of USD Government Bond Strategy, J.P. Morgan

    Currencies

    In foreign exchange markets, recent global macro developments are constructive for safe reserve currencies and negative for lower yielding high-beta currencies. But overall it is a muddied picture for the broad dollar index. Historically, the USD does well on a broad trade-weighted basis whenever global growth is weak or weakening, irrespective of whether the U.S. economy itself is decelerating, the Fed cuts rates or indeed there is even recession.

    The dollar is not expected to appreciate against all currencies as the Fed lowers rates, with other safe-haven currencies likely to outperform in an anti-cyclical easing phase.

    “This club of alternative safe-havens [that could outperform the USD] is exclusive and membership is probably confined to the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc,” said J.P. Morgan Head of Global FX Strategy, Paul Meggyesi.

    The Swiss franc is usually the single best performer in a Fed easing cycle whereas the yen’s track record is much patchier. Both currencies together with the dollar are historically very effective hedges to either a U.S. recession or a sharp global downturn.

    The Swiss franc is usually the single best performer in a Fed easing cycle whereas the yen’s track record is much patchier.
    Paul Meggyesi Head of Global FX Strategy, J.P. Morgan
    Emerging Markets
    Since the breakdown of U.S.-China trade talks in early May resulting in tariff increases, the macro outlook has been in flux with growth forecasts lowered. J.P. Morgan Research forecasts broadly stable emerging market (EM) GDP growth of 4.5% in the second half of the year, but this view is overshadowed by heightened uncertainty and significant downside risks.

    Given the risks to the growth outlook along with dovish revisions to developed market (DM) policy rates, policy easing across EM is now expected.

    “The tension between weaker growth and a reactive Fed keeps us defensive, but not overly bearish EM fixed income in in the second half of the year,” said J.P. Morgan Head of Currencies, Commodities and Emerging Markets, Luis Oganes.

    “We do not assume a repeat of EM equities sell-off seen earlier this year — the support arsenal is there if things get worse. Additional policy supports like further China easing and Fed rate cuts could break negative feedback loops,” added J.P. Morgan Chief Emerging Markets Equity Strategist, Pedro Martins Junior.

  • Payments Fraud Activity Surged in 2018

    Payments Fraud Activity Surged in 2018

    According to the Association for Financial Professionals’ 15th annual Payments Fraud and Control Survey, payments fraud is becoming increasingly pervasive. Fraudsters are highly focused on infiltrating payments technology. While technology advancements can optimize and simplify processes, they can also provide a means for perpetrators to attack payment methods, commit financial crimes and inflict extensive damage. Learn how businesses are protecting themselves.
    APR 19, 2019

    Payments Fraud Sets Record High for Third Year Straight
    The last four years of the survey have recorded a dramatic increase in payments fraud activity. Last year saw the highest rate on record, with 82 percent of financial professionals reporting that their companies were targets.

    Larger Organizations at Higher Risk of Attacks

    Experienced Payments Fraud Attacks in 2018

    69%
    Annual Revenue Less Than $1 Billion

    87%
    Annual Revenue At Least $1 Billion

    Check Fraud Drops Slightly, but ACH Fraud Increases
    Though checks and wire transfers continued to be the largest targets for fraud, the percentage of these scams decreased. On the other hand, fraudulent ACH debits and credits increased—an indication that fraudsters are developing more sophisticated attacks, as ACH transactions are often more difficult to compromise.

    Email Scams Grow More Sophisticated
    Business email compromise (BEC) targets businesses and individuals responsible for initiating payments. Eighty percent of organizations were exposed to BEC scams in 2018—the highest number on record.

    BEC tactics continue to evolve, but respondents reported the following common attacks by fraudsters:

    81% Using spoofed email addresses to pose as senior executives directing a transfer of funds

    44% Impersonating vendors in emails, directing payments based on authentic invoices

    33% Pretending to be other third parties in emails, requesting changes in bank account, payments instructions, etc.

    Other ways financial professionals are protecting their companies include:

    88%
    use Positive Pay to verify the authenticity of checks

    72%
    segregate accounts

    68%
    perform daily reconciliation of check activity

    65%
    perform daily reconciliation of ACH debits

  • What’s Behind May’s Tepid Jobs Report

    Last month’s slim job growth seemed to bolster the theory that the economy is slowing down—but with structural changes to the workforce taking place over the last several years, it’s natural for job growth to start to slow even as the economy continues to expand.

    BY: JIM GLASSMAN, HEAD ECONOMIST, COMMERCIAL BANKINGJUN 12, 2019

    Job creation fell sharply in May. The economy added just 75,000 jobs for the month, far short of the 200,000 monthly job gains that have come to seem typical over the past decade. While a single month’s report could always be a statistical anomaly, the cyclical forces that have driven above-trend demand for labor over the past decade are fading.

    As the labor market draws tighter, structural demographic forces are likely to act as a brake on job growth. The economy’s sustainable rate of job creation may be significantly slower than what we have grown accustomed to, but a hiring slowdown doesn’t necessarily signal a loss of economic momentum.

    Structural Forces Replace Cyclical Ones

    The workforce’s growth rate has slowed dramatically since the 2008 recession. The outsized baby-boom generation has reached retirement age, and the growth of the working population has slowed. In the 1990s and early 2000s, nearly 200,000 potential new workers were entering the job market every month; today, that number is only about 65,000.

    Until recently, this demographic shift has been masked by cyclical forces. The recession created a tremendous amount of slack in the labor market, allowing the economy to defy demographics and maintain an above-trend pace of job creation for almost a full decade. Hidden pockets of unemployment and underemployment have been slow to evaporate, but almost all of the recession’s discouraged workforce dropouts have now returned to the job market and the number of involuntary part-time workers has dropped to a level consistent with past periods of full employment.

    With headline unemployment nearing a 50-year low and 7.5 million job openings currently going unfilled, it’s possible that the labor market has finally drawn tight. As the last of the recession’s slack disappears, job growth will likely be limited by demographic forces. The rate of job creation should move toward a sustainable average of 50,000 to 75,000 new jobs monthly.

    Alternate Futures

    There’s no certainty that May’s jobs report marks the beginning of an inevitable hiring slowdown. Monthly job creation reports are inherently volatile; over the past decade, monthly hiring has fallen below 75,000 on seven occasions. On those occasions, weak hiring was immediately followed by a strong rebound, with subsequent months bringing a return to six-digit job growth. The same pattern could repeat this summer.

    It’s difficult to measure the amount of slack remaining in the labor market. For example, a small rise in the labor force participation rate could expand the potential workforce and enable hiring to resume its previous rate for some time. Immigration reform could also enlarge the workforce; the addition of foreign-born workers already in the prime of their careers would lift the economy’s sustainable rate of job creation. However, if nothing changes, employment growth will likely moderate at the top of the business cycle.

    The Implications of Slow Hiring

    When job creation does eventually slow to a sustainable pace, it won’t necessarily be a signal of economic distress. Paradoxically, it could actually benefit workers—a tight job market should lift wages as the demand for labor outpaces the available supply. If the hiring slowdown isn’t accompanied by a spike in layoffs, it will likely be a sign that the economy is leveling off to a sustainable growth rate through the top of the business cycle.

    However, without a surge in worker productivity, a slowly expanding workforce likely will constrain GDP growth. Aggregate production is limited by the supply of labor, and as the labor market tightens, expanding businesses will begin to face staffing challenges. Throughout the recovery, consumer demand has guided most decisions about growth—if the customers were there, businesses had few reasons not to add shifts and open new locations. But a lack of available workers could act as a brake on growth.

    This adjustment to demographic reality shouldn’t damage the economy—full employment could bring about a slower, more sustainable growth rate, but that doesn’t mean businesses are in distress. When the economy is operating at its full potential, slower aggregate growth should be accompanied by prosperity spread throughout the workforce.

    在扭转二战局势的诺曼底登陆战役发生之前,盟军面对的是一个看似锐不可挡的德国。在当时的情况下,特别行动执行处需要采取一项史无前例的行动—招募39名女间谍从事瓦解、破坏敌军和情报刺探工作,为盟军诺曼底登陆战役的胜利铺路。在诺曼底登陆75周年纪念日即将到来之际,Sarah Rose对这些默默无闻的二战女英雄可歌可泣的事迹开展了严谨的研究和细致的记述。这些扣人心弦的记述堪比间谍小说的剧情和动作场面,而这一切却都是活生生的历史事迹。

    作者:山穷水尽疑无路,柳暗花明又一村。无论是积极推动改变的政府、政府资助组织及其他发展机构还是在黑暗中摸索的创新者和企业家,都应学会从绝望中看到机会,永不轻言放弃。

    Sarah Baxter 和 Amy Grimes《文学场所 (灵感旅游指南)》
    阅读常常带领我们进入全新、未知的世界—这本图文并茂、令人印象难忘的旅游指南就是一个完美的例证。在本书中,旅游记者Sarah Baxter通过一些现代历史上最著名、最具情感冲击力的著作让读者体验了一次丰富多彩的环球之旅。从Naguib Mahfouz的《宫间街》中如同迷宫般的市场和中世纪开罗的清真寺到Don Quixote的《拉曼查》中阳光普照的平原,从维克多.雨果的《巴黎》中纵横交错的街道到J.D. Salinger的《麦田里的守望者》中令人感伤的纽约市景点,Baxter通过独特、丰富的内容设计为读者提供了一本穿越时空、充满人文体验的旅游指南。

    Tracey Bashkoff《希尔玛.阿夫.克林特: 面向未来的绘画》
    瑞典女画家希尔玛.阿夫.克林特的超前抽象艺术画作,比一些公认的抽象主义先驱的作品还要更早出现。她善于利用各种不同图形创作出大量色彩大胆、高冲击力的抽象画作,充分展现出她对艺术深奥玄妙、神秘莫测的独特理解。或许正因她知道自己的作品过于前卫,克林特立下遗嘱,她的毕生作品在她逝世(1944年)后的二十年内都不得公开展示。克林特首次大型个展《面向未来的绘画 》在美国古根海姆博物馆展出,为了配合这次展览,本画册深入剖析了克林特艺术作品的主题演变、在她人生中的意义,以及她对现代艺术的影响,一览无遗地向世人呈现了这位艺术家及其作品的思想内涵及精神力量。

    随着全球人口迅猛激增,气候变化和新的极端天气的出现,加上医疗成本持续上升,全球各地正在面临着史无前例的巨大挑战。世界著名神经科学家Susan Hockfield认为,为了解决这些难题,新一代的科技进步将在很大程度上取决于生物学的发展。从仿生义肢到计算机工程农业,生物学技术不断改革创新,为我们描绘了一个充满生机和希望的未来。
    作者:我们尚不清楚决定农作物所有复杂性状的基因。但随着生物学和工程学在农业领域逐渐实现强大的融合,我们快将可以解开这个谜团……借助科技的力量,为地球上逾95亿人口提供可负担、富有营养的食物。

    David Epstein《范围: 为什么多面手能够在专业领域获胜》
    人们通常认为,许多体育、音乐、艺术和科学方面的特长需要从小专门培养。然而,David Epstein的研究彻底颠覆了这个理论。在本书中,他分享了多面手在各个年龄段均能取得成功的秘诀。他的研究证明,何时起步并不是最重要的一环,不畏失败、百折不挠往往才是保持灵活、坚定决心并最终实现成功的关键要素。作者为读者提供的建议是:「克服落后感」。David Epstein对体育、科学和科技等多个领域均有深入研究,他的建议无疑具有很高的参考价值。
    作者:尝试并非灵丹妙药,但它具有普遍性和自身的优势,容忍失败不能只是空口白话。突破是形形色色、千差万别的。

    单伟建《走出戈壁: 我在中国和美国的故事》

    作者:1979年,应时任美国总统卡特的邀请,邓小平赴美进行了为期9天的访问。此事对我的人生产生了巨大影响,尽管我当时并没有意识到这一点。这次访问不仅为中国的对外开放铺路,同时还为中国人赴海外留学创造了条件。

  • 您可曾與您的子女討論大學學費開支?

    這正是灌輸孩子更多財商知識和傳遞家庭價值觀的一個大好良機。分享

    望子成龍乃天下父母的心願。

    「不論家庭貧富,如何支付及是否支付學費開支總會在不同場合及時間成為一家人討論的話題。」摩根大通私人銀行駐佛羅里達州的理財策略師Marc E. Seaverson說道。

    然而,儘管大多數父母都對子女的教育及相關費用籌劃有着明確的預期,但許多人都盡量避免跟子女探討這個話題,甚至將之列為禁忌。

    「過去,父母都是直接儲蓄或支付孩子的學費,孩子對於學費多少及來源幾乎是一無所知。」摩根大通私人銀行格林威治辦事處的理財顧問Victoria F. Bolton說道。

    不過,據我們的顧問反映,這種情況已經有所改變。「我發現有很多客戶都想讓他們的孩子了解甚至親身參與。」Bolton說,「此舉措為孩子上了寶貴的一課,讓他們學習財商技巧和家庭要務。」

    不過,父母首先要明確自己的目標。

    • 包攬子女從學前班到博士生畢業的一切所需費用?
    • 父母只支付學費,生活花銷由子女自行承擔?
    • 讓孩子為修讀大學本科或者研究生課程申請助學貸款?
    • 支付大學的一切所需費用,但要求孩子在畢業後立刻自力更生?
    • 補貼他們的生活所需開支一段指定時間?或是直到永遠?

    專家意見認為,無論選擇哪種方法,都沒有對錯之分。不論您只是希望讓孩子了解教育所需費用,還是要讓他們承擔部分開銷,您的摩根大通顧問都可以幫助您制定並實施最適合您家庭需要的方案。

    第二步至關重要:確保您的孩子了解您的期望,並且明白他們作出選擇的後果。父母可以提出一些看法,例如指出一個普通英文專科學生與商科專科學生大學畢業後的薪酬差別,然後探討這些差異帶來的影響,例如在租金昂貴的市中心租房。

    儘管每個家庭需要討論的課題各不相同,但是我們的顧問認為在一些引導的原則上存在一定共識,比如:

    1. 共同期望——並且幫助您的孩子做好準備以實現這些期望。

    摩根大通私人銀行達拉斯辦事處的理財策略師Amanda Lott看到許多父母,身為企業家和白手興家的商業人士,都希望子女將來能夠自力更生。

    她說,這種想法很好,但孩子不會突然一覺醒來就懂得如何理財或進行長期儲蓄。因此,對他們理財能力的教育需要趁早開始。

    「我們明白供孩子讀大學是一筆龐大的開銷,因此我們鼓勵客戶從小就向孩子教育儲蓄的重要性。」Lott說。如果您希望獲得更具體的建議,請向您的摩根大通顧問索取一份我們的《子女財富教育》指南。這份指南詳盡地介紹了適合各個年齡段孩子的教育活動,包括從小豬儲蓄罐到投資帳戶等等。 

    即使您在孩子三歲時就開始教導他們如何儲蓄,但這也不意味着您應該馬上與他們討論長期理財計劃。把握時機至關重要。許多顧問建議家長等到孩子入讀高中時才開始與他們討論有關高中教育費用支付問題,因為這個年齡段的子女思想開始普遍成熟,能夠思考長期人生規劃;而且開始思考並關心自己的學業和未來。

    2. 縱觀全局地討論教育費用。

    事實上,美國的大學費用十分昂貴,而且學費每年增長6%,增速甚至比通脹更快。Seaverson表示,美國公立大學的平均開銷,包括學費、食宿以及其他費用,普遍估計高達每年21,000美元。

    美國私立學校所需費用每年將近49,000美元。按當前的增長率計算,現在出生的孩子未來入讀私立大學可能需要花費五十多萬美元。

    別忘了,這些費用還只是平均水平。某些私立大學每年的花銷可能還要多出幾萬美元。

     「當孩子們開始選擇大學,或許會說「我要去這所大學」的時候,就是家長開始跟他們討論教育開支的最佳時機,」Seaverson說,「當學生開始搜集常規資訊,比如一所大學有多少學生或者提供哪些學位課程,家長也可以鼓勵他們了解上大學所需費用以及這些費用的明細。」

    3. 決定您是否想要提出指導原則或規則。

    父母有很多方法去實現他們的願景。有些家長或會要求子女匯報大學成績,甚至要求他們達到特定的GPA才會全額支付教育費用。另外,有些家長可能會要求孩子修讀某些大學畢業後就業前景更好的專業,比如工程專業。

    不過,我們的顧問建議父母做出過於死板的規定前一定要三思。

    「據我觀察,父母明確嚴格地命令年輕的成年子女極少能夠發揮作用,」Amanda Lott警告說,「讓成年子女擁有自主權非常重要。對父母來說,更好的做法是確保孩子們理解自己作出的選擇確實會產生一定的影響和後果——而且後果有好也有壞。」

    4. 討論大局。

    最後,我們的顧問表示,圍繞教育的話題和討論其實是加強孩子家庭價值觀的核心。

    父母可以利用大學學費這個話題,引導孩子與他們開展有關擁有當前生活方式所需開銷等討論。Seaverson說:「這是父母與子女共同就雙方期望和價值觀進行協作溝通的大好機會,進而可以把相關話題擴展到慈善和生活方式等其他領域。」

    我們可以幫助您達成目標。

    您的摩根大通顧問可以幫助您評估您的教育經費籌劃方案,並就如何與孩子展開基於目標的討論提供一些專業見解。

  • Have you talked about college costs with your teenager?

    This conversation can be a great opportunity to teach your child more about finances—and your family valuesShare

    It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that the minds of parents will turn to educating their children.

    “Regardless of wealth level, in some form or fashion the discussion on how or whether to fund education always comes up,” says Marc E. Seaverson, a Florida-based Wealth Strategist with the Private Bank. 

    Yet while most parents have baked-in expectations about education and funding, many parents find discussing costs with children to be uncomfortable, even taboo. 

    “Historically, parents have saved or paid directly, and children have little knowledge of what the expenses are and the strategies employed to get there,” says Victoria F. Bolton, a Wealth Advisor in our Greenwich office. 

    But that has been changing, our advisors say. “I am seeing a lot more clients wanting their children to be aware, even to have skin in the game,” says Bolton, “and that creates a real opportunity” to teach children about key financial issues as well as your family’s priorities.   

    First step, though, is for the parents to be clear about their intentions. So, what do you want to do?  

    • Pay for a whole ride from pre-K through Ph.D.?
    • Pay tuition costs, but ask your children to contribute to their living expenses? 
    • Have your children take out loans for college? For graduate school?  
    • Pay for college, but expect the children to be self-supporting immediately after college?
    • Subsidize their lifestyles for some period of time? Forever more? 

    Any choice is fine, experts say, and your J.P. Morgan advisor can help you develop and implement whatever approach suits your family best—whether it is simply making your children aware of costs or having them contribute to some degree. 

    The important part is the second step: making sure your children understand your expectations and the consequences of their choices. Parents can help with perspective, pointing out, for example, how much an average English major makes after college versus a business major, and then discussing what that means for, say, rent in a costly urban center. 

    While every family will need to have a different conversation, our advisors agree on some common principles to guide discussions, namely:

    1. Share expectations—and help prepare your children to meet them.

    As a Wealth Strategist based in our Dallas office, Amanda Lott sees a lot of parents who are entrepreneurs and self-made business people and who are clear that they want their kids to be self-sufficient someday.

    That’s great, she says, but children don’t wake up one morning suddenly knowing how to manage a budget or save for the long term. The sooner you start teaching them this financial capability, the better.

    “Paying for college is a big expense. Understanding that, we encourage clients to begin talking to their children about the importance of saving from a very early age,” Lott says. If you are looking for more concrete advice, ask your J.P. Morgan advisor for a copy of our guide Teaching children about wealth; it offers detailed age-appropriate activities, from piggy banks to investment accounts. 

    Even if you can start teaching children as young as three years old how to save, that clearly doesn’t mean you should discuss long-term plans right away. Timing is important. Many advisors counsel waiting until the beginning of high school to start having conversations about the financing of children’s secondary education. That’s when they are generally developmentally mature enough to think long-range; it’s also when their awareness and desire for college will be taking shape.  

    2. Discuss education costs in context.

    Here are just the bare facts: College in the United States is already expensive, and tuition is growing at 6% a year, which is faster than inflation. Common estimates put the average cost for a public university in the United States, including tuition, room and board, and others fees, at just over $21,000 a year, says Seaverson.

    U.S. private school is just under $49,000 per year. At today’s growth rate, a baby born today could be expected to pay north of half a million for a private college. 

    Keep in mind that these are averages. The costs for some private universities can be tens of thousands more per year. 

    “When children start to look at colleges and maybe say ‘Here is where I want to go,’ that is an amazing opportunity to start talking,” says Seaverson. “When students are gathering routine information, such as how many students go to a college or what degrees do they offer, they also can be encouraged to ask how much does it cost and how do those costs break down.”

    3. Decide whether you want to offer guidelines or rules.

    There are many ways parents can enforce their vision. Some parents may want to require their college-age children to report on grades and possibly to achieve a certain GPA to continue to receive full funding of their education. Others may require that a child major in something that creates higher likelihoods of post-university employment, such as engineering.

    Yet, our advisors suggest that parents think twice before being overly prescriptive.

    “Very rarely do I see it play out well when parents give iron-clad mandates to their young adult children,” warns Amanda Lott. “It is important that an adult child feel a sense of autonomy. Better is when parents make sure the children understand that their choices do have ramifications and consequences—both good and bad.”

    4. Discuss the bigger picture.

    In the end, say our advisors, the conversation around education is really about reinforcing your family values with your children.  

    Tuition can be an easy way for parents to start talking to their children about what it takes financially to live as they do. Seaverson says: “Think of it as a great opportunity to build a collaborative communication about expectations and values that can spill over into other areas like philanthropy and lifestyle.”

    We can help

    Your J.P. Morgan advisor can help you assess your education funding options and offer insights into how to frame a goals-based conversation with your child.

    然而,尽管大多数父母都对子女的教育及相关费用筹划有着明确的预期,但许多人都尽量避免跟子女探讨这个话题,甚至将之列为禁忌。

    「过去,父母都是直接储蓄或支付孩子的学费,孩子对于学费多少及来源几乎是一无所知。」摩根大通私人银行格林威治办事处的理财顾问Victoria F. Bolton说道。

    不过,据我们的顾问反映,这种情况已经有所改变。「我发现有很多客户都想让他们的孩子了解甚至亲身参与。」Bolton说,「此举措为孩子上了宝贵的一课,让他们学习财商技巧和家庭要务。」

     「当孩子们开始选择大学,或许会说「我要去这所大学」的时候,就是家长开始跟他们讨论教育开支的最佳时机,」Seaverson说,「当学生开始搜集常规信息,比如一所大学有多少学生或者提供哪些学位课程,家长也可以鼓励他们了解上大学所需费用以及这些费用的明细。」

    3. 决定您是否想要提出指导原则或规则。

    父母有很多方法去实现他们的愿景。有些家长或会要求子女汇报大学成绩,甚至要求他们达到特定的GPA才会全额支付教育费用。另外,有些家长可能会要求孩子修读某些大学毕业后就业前景更好的专业,比如工程专业。

  • Sus hijos le preguntan sobre su patrimonio. ¿Qué les responde?

    En ocasiones, los niños pueden hacer las preguntas más difíciles acerca del patrimonio. Otras veces no preguntan nada. De una u otra forma van a encontrar las respuestas. Para encaminarlos por la senda correcta debemos ser los padres y guardianes quienes forjen la comprensión de la riqueza en nuestros hijos. El reto es cómo hacerlo bien. 

    Aquí compartimos una historia de un cliente cuyo hijo hizo una pregunta que su padre no sabía bien cómo responder. Luego presentamos el comentario especializado de Michael Liersch, psicólogo cognitivo y Director de Asesoramiento y Estrategia Basados de J.P. Morgan.

    Historia de un cliente

    Una mañana de camino a la escuela, mi hijo de 10 años me preguntó: “Papi, ¿nosotros somos ricos?” Su hermana melliza se interesó y esperó mi respuesta junto con su hermano.

    Sorprendido, les respondí: “Esa es una muy buena pregunta”.

    “Estamos bien”, les expliqué. “Tenemos suficiente dinero para vivir en una casa linda, enviarlos a excelentes escuelas, hacer actividades divertidas y viajar juntos. Siempre tenemos comida y otras cosas. Pero a pesar de que tenemos dinero, queremos estar seguros de tomar buenas decisiones sobre lo que gastamos, porque mamá y papá trabajan muy duro para ganar ese dinero”.

    “¿Tiene sentido?” Les pregunté.

    La respuesta fue rápida y al grano. “Sí”, dijo mi hijo, y pasó a su próxima pregunta: “¿Volveremos a Florida este invierno?”.

    La conversación se concentró inmediatamente en las próximas vacaciones de invierno.

    Me pregunto si mi respuesta improvisada fue suficientemente buena. Sobre todo, quería asegurarme de que mis hijos supieran que están seguros y hacerles entender que mi esposa y yo estamos contentos con el hecho de trabajar para ganar lo que tenemos.

    Comentario especializado

    Esta no es una pregunta sorprendente, sino una muy común que hacen los estudiantes curiosos. Muchos se la preguntan aunque no la verbalicen.

    Conscientes de los demás

    A medida que los niños se vuelven más conscientes de los demás y buscan la aceptación del grupo entre sus pares, naturalmente quieren comprender dónde encajan—tratan de encontrar su lugar.

    En esta historia, la respuesta de los padres es positiva porque los describe a ambos como generadores de ingresos y responsables de tomar decisiones conjuntas. Su respuesta también parece ser efectiva tanto para aportar tranquilidad —aliviando potenciales miedos existenciales— como para enfatizar la toma fundamentada de decisiones sobre las opciones financieras.

    La respuesta “correcta”

    En el futuro, el padre no tiene que sentirse presionado para dar inmediatamente la respuesta correcta o para siquiera responder a las preguntas importantes. Su primera respuesta podría ser una indagación del tipo: “¡Qué interesante!, ¿por qué lo preguntas?”. Responder a una pregunta con otra sirve no solo para que los padres ganen tiempo y puedan elaborar buenas respuestas, sino que también podrían obtener información muy valiosa sobre el estado mental del niño. ¿Se trata de una reacción del niño a la charla ociosa en el patio de la escuela acerca de quién tiene cuánto? O bien, por algún motivo, al niño le preocupa tener suficiente. Y si es así, ¿por qué?

    Sobre todo, puede sentirse reconfortado al saber que una respuesta en un momento particular, sin importar cómo la haya dicho, no define la comprensión de sus hijos. Su comprensión de los asuntos de dinero se irá creando acumulativamente con el tiempo mediante señales verbales y no verbales.

    Los clientes siempre solicitan orientación de los asesores de J.P. Morgan sobre cómo ayudar a sus hijos a desarrollar habilidades que les permitan afrontar el complejo mundo financiero. En nuestra serie Enseñar a sus hijos sobre la riqueza, hemos recogido las mejores prácticas de nuestro equipo global de asesores y de una educadora financiera líder, Susan Doty, Presidenta de la Asociación Nacional de Educadores Económicos, para ayudar a los padres, a los abuelos y a otros familiares involucrados en la capacitación de los hijos, de 3 a 22 años, en asuntos de dinero.

  • 如何應對子女關於財富的問題?

    在教導孩子理財之道時,父母面對子女的提問有時候會感到非常棘手,有些子女對理財方面也許根本興趣不大。不論是屬於哪一種孩子,他們最終都會找到答案。為了幫助子女走上正確的人生道路,父母都希望能夠從小培養並協助子女建立令他們受用終身的財富觀。但是,如何才能樹立正確及有效的財富觀?

    以下是我們一位客戶的親身經歷。他的孩子突然向他提出了一個他不知如何應對的問題。摩根大通目標為本理財諮詢及策略部主管兼認知心理學家Michael Liersch隨後將對此給予專業點評和指導。

    客戶的故事
     

    在送孩子上學的途中,我通常會和他們進行一些有趣的深層次討論。一天早上,我10歲的兒子問我:「爸爸,我們家富有嗎?」他的雙胞胎妹妹和他一起興致勃勃地等待着我的答案。

    面對這個突如其來的提問,我猝不及防地回答:「這是一個很好的問題。」

    然後,我盡力地向他們解釋:「我們的家庭條件還不錯。我們可以住好的房子,送你們上好學校、一起旅行,以及做一些我們喜歡的事情。我們衣食無憂。不過,雖然我們擁有一些財富,但因為這些財富都是爸爸媽媽努力工作換來的,所以我們要用得其所。」

    我問孩子:「你們覺得爸爸說的有道理嗎?」

    他們迅即回答:「是的。」兒子馬上又提出下一個問題:「我們今年冬天是不是回到佛羅里達?」

    我們的討論話題便立即轉到快將到來的寒假。

    我不知道自己憑直覺做出的回答是否妥當。我主要是想確保他們有安全感,讓他們知道我和妻子願意通過努力工作來獲得財富。

    等待專家的評判,祝我們好運。

    專家點評
     

    這個問題並不令人感到意外。求知欲旺盛的孩子經常會提出或在內心思考這樣的問題。

    了解他人
     

    隨着孩子對他人的了解逐漸加深並開始尋求同輩群體的接納,他們很自然地希望了解和尋找自己在群體中的適當位置。這正是這個年紀的孩子應有的正常想法。

    在本案例中,這位父親的回應積極而正面。他表達了父母雙方作為收入創造者和共同決策者所發揮的作用。他的回答不僅有助於寬慰和消除孩子內心可能隱藏着的擔憂,同時還強調了作出財務決策時應有的謹慎態度。

    「正確」答案
     

    面對孩子未來可能提出的重大問題,父親不必要求自己立即提供正確的答案,甚至無需給出答案。他首先可以通過詢問的方式回應,例如:「這個問題很有趣,為什麼問這個?」這不僅能夠讓父母有更多的時間來思考恰當的答案,同時還有助於父母更好地了解子女的內心世界。孩子是否曾在學校和別人聊起關於家庭財富的問題?還是出於某些原因產生了對家庭財富是否足夠的擔憂?背後的具體原因是什麼?

    最重要的是,父母其實無需擔心自己在某個時刻作出的回應會給孩子的財富觀造成決定性的影響。財富觀的形成不是一朝一夕的事情,是父母從小言傳身教、日積月累的結果。

  • Your child asks about your wealth. What do you say?

    Sometimes our children can ask the toughest questions about wealth. Sometimes they don’t ask at all. One way or another, they will find answers. To help put them on the right path for life, surely we want to be the ones who shape our children’s understanding of wealth. The challenge: How do we do that—and do it well? 

    Here, we share a story about a client and his child, who suddenly asked a question his dad didn’t quite know how to answer. This is followed by expert commentary from Michael Liersch, cognitive psychologist and Head of J.P. Morgan’s Goals-Based Advice & Strategy.

    Client story


    When I’m driving my kids to school, we often have interesting, meaningful discussions.

    One morning, my 10-year-old boy asked: “Daddy, are we rich?” His twin sister perked up and waited with her brother for my answer.

    Surprised, I punted: “That is a very good question.”

    Then I tried my best. “We are fine,” I said. “We have enough money to live in a nice house, send you to great schools, do fun activities and take trips together. We always have food and stuff. But even though we have money, we always want to be sure to make good choices about what we spend on—because Mommy and Daddy both work very hard to earn that money.”

    “Does that make sense?” I asked.

    Their response was swift and matter-of-fact. “Yes,” said my son, and moved on to his next question: “Are we going back to Florida this winter?”

    The discussion turned immediately to the upcoming winter break.

    I wonder if the fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants answer was good enough. Mostly, I wanted to make sure they knew they were safe, and to let them know my wife and I are glad to work for what we earn.

    The jury is out—wish us luck.

    Expert commentary
     

    This is not a surprising question, but actually a very common one for curious students to ask—or wonder about, even if they do not ask directly.

    Other-aware

    As children become more aware of others and increasingly seek group acceptance among their peers, they naturally want to understand where they fit in. This is the age at which they are trying to find their place.

    The father’s answer in this story is positive in that it describes both parents as income earners and joint decision makers. His answer also seems effective in both providing comfort—alleviating potential existential fears—while emphasizing thoughtful decision making about financial choices.

    The “right” answer

    In the future, the father doesn’t have to feel pressured to immediately provide the right answer—or even any answer at all—to big questions. His first response could be an inquiry along the lines of: “Interesting, why do you ask?” Not only does answering a question with a question buy parents more time to compose good answers, it also could yield very valuable insights into the child’s state of mind. Is the child reacting to idle schoolyard talk about who has how much? Or is the child concerned for some reason about having enough? And, if so, why?

    Most of all, take comfort in knowing that one response in a single point in time, no matter how worded, does not define your children’s understanding. Their comprehension of money matters is created cumulatively over time by verbal and nonverbal cues alike.


    Clients have long asked J.P. Morgan advisors for guidance on how to help children develop skills to be better prepared for a complex financial world. In our Teaching your children about wealth series, we have gathered best practices from our global team of advisors and a leading financial educator, Susan Doty, President of the National Association of Economic Educators, to help parents, grandparents and other caring family members empower children, ages 3-22, in money matters.  

    For additional insights into how to teach children about wealth, please contact your J.P. Morgan advisors. They are available to help you and your family with all your financial needs.  


  • Wells Fargo Bank : Making Things Right for Customers – Customer Redress Review Program

    Customer Redress Review Program related to Wells Fargo’s Retail Sales Practices, Renters and Simplified Term Life Insurance Referrals, Collateral Protection Insurance, Guaranteed Asset/Auto Protection & Mortgage Interest Rate Lock.

    As part of our ongoing efforts to build a better bank, we are looking across our entire company to identify and fix problems, be transparent and open about what we find, and make things right. In December 2018, we announced that we reached an agreement with all 50 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia regarding previously disclosed retail sales practices, auto collateral protection insurance (“CPI”) and Guaranteed Asset/Auto Protection (“GAP”), and mortgage interest rate lock matters. We are in the process of providing remediation to customers related to all of these issues and understand that customers may have questions about what happened, the remediation plans, and the notices and remediation they receive. This website has been designed to answer your questions and to provide you with contact information for customer care teams that can assist you with any additional questions you may have about the following issues:

    • Retail Sales Practices Remediation Program:  Customers who may have had an account or service opened without their consent or without being fully informed of the details of the account or service may be eligible for compensation.  Please select this link for more information and the contact information for our designated Customer Care Team.
    • Renters and Simplified Term Life Insurance Referrals Remediation Program:  Customers who may have had a renters or simplified term life insurance policy opened by Wells Fargo without their consent or solely for purposes of helping a Wells Fargo team member obtain incentive pay may be eligible for compensation.  Please select this link for more information and the contact information for our designated Customer Care Team.
    • Collateral Protection Insurance (“CPI”) Remediation Program:  Customers who have had an auto loan contract with Wells Fargo and were charged for collateral protection insurance may be eligible for compensation.  Please select this link for more information and the contact information for our designated Customer Care Team.
    • Guaranteed Asset/Auto Protection (“GAP”) Remediation Program:  Customers who had a GAP product on their auto loan contract with Wells Fargo and paid off their auto loan contract early or had their vehicle repossessed may be eligible for a refund of any unearned portion of the amount they paid for GAP.  Please select this link for more information and the contact information for our designated Customer Care Team.
    • Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Remediation Program:  Customers applying for a mortgage loan with Wells Fargo who paid a fee for a rate lock extension requested between September 16, 2013 and February 28, 2017 may be eligible for compensation.  Please select this link for more information and the contact information for our designated Customer Care Team.

    If you have any questions about any remediation you have received or your eligibility for future remediation regarding the issues covered by the settlement agreement, we encourage you to contact the responsible Wells Fargo Customer Care Team. Contact information for the Customer Care Teams is provided below.

    The December 2018 agreement with the Attorneys General includes a redress program. What is that?

    Wells Fargo has designated customer care teams who have been specially trained to help customers with the issues covered by the agreement – sales practices (including retail sales practices and sales practices related to renters and simplified term life insurance referrals), auto CPI and GAP, and mortgage interest rate lock matters. The redress program means we’ll keep these teams in place and maintain this website in order to help answer customer questions for at least one year after the satisfaction of the remediation programs discussed below.

    What is the Retail Sales Practices Remediation Program?

    In September 2016, Wells Fargo entered into agreements with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Office of the Los Angeles City Attorney to address allegations that some of our retail customers received products or services they did not request. Customers that may have had an account or service opened without their consent or without being fully informed of the details of the account or service may be eligible for remediation.  Additional details regarding the remediation that Wells Fargo has provided in the past or is in the process of providing is outlined below.

    Third Party Account Analysis

    In August 2017, Wells Fargo completed an expanded third-party review of retail banking accounts to identify potentially unauthorized accounts and fees and charges paid by customers related to those accounts.  The accounts and services included in the review were Wells Fargo consumer or small business checking or savings accounts, credit cards, unsecured lines of credit, and online bill pay services.

    Specifically, Wells Fargo conducted a review of data associated with these accounts and services opened from January 2009 to the end of September 2016. Wells Fargo has provided refunds and credits to customers for potentially unauthorized accounts and online bill pay enrollments identified during this review for which customers paid fees and charges.

    Customer Complaints and Mediation Claims

    In addition, Wells Fargo has provided refunds and credits to customers of fees and charges associated with potentially unauthorized accounts and online bill pay services that were identified in response to customer complaints and mediation claims.

    Class-action Settlement – Jabbari v. Wells Fargo

    Customers may also receive compensation under the $142 million class-action settlement for accounts dating back to 2002 if the customer submitted a claims form before the July 7, 2018 deadline or if they complained to Wells Fargo in the past about an unauthorized account.  Customers who complained to Wells Fargo about an unauthorized account during the January 1, 2011 to March 23, 2017 time period were automatically enrolled as participants in the class-action settlement.  Please consult WFSettlement.com for the status of settlement payments.

    After plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs of administration, the class-action settlement will provide reimbursement of fees not already refunded and compensation for increased borrowing costs due to credit-score impact associated with a potentially unauthorized account. Remaining funds will be distributed to the participants in the class on a per account basis.

    The class-action settlement agreement covered all persons who claim that Wells Fargo opened an unauthorized consumer or small business checking or savings account or an unsecured credit card or line of credit. The settlement also covers customers who enrolled in certain identity theft protection services between May 1, 2002 and April 20, 2017 (details are available online at WFSettlement.com).

    Continuing Efforts

    Wells Fargo continues to work with any customers who contact us with any sales practices concerns, including customers who did not participate in the remediation described above. Customers who may have had an account or service opened without their consent or without being fully informed of the details of the account or service may be eligible for compensation, correction of credit bureau information caused by the unauthorized account, and, among other things, an opportunity for no-cost mediation if the company is unable to resolve an issue related to an unauthorized account directly with the customer.

    If you have any questions about your Jabbari class-action settlement claim, please contact the settlement administrator at 1-866-431-8549 or consult WFSettlement.com. If you have questions about other potentially unauthorized accounts or services not already addressed in your Jabbari settlement claim, we encourage you to contact our Customer Care Team at 1-844-931-2273.

    What is the Renters and Simplified Term Life Insurance Referrals Remediation Program?

    In the past, Wells Fargo’s team members referred customers to third-party insurance companies for renters and simplified term life insurance products.  Following an internal review, Wells Fargo identified renters and simplified term life insurance policies opened with third-party insurance companies that may have been referred by our team members without the customer’s consent or solely for purposes of helping a Wells Fargo team member obtain incentive compensation. The policies were opened with American Modern Home Insurance Group, Inc., Assurant, Inc., Great West Life & Annuity Insurance Company, Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. Wells Fargo stopped referring customers to third-party insurance companies for renters and simplified term life insurance products in December 2016.

    Wells Fargo has paid refunds of premiums and bank fees to eligible customers with applicable renters and simplified term life insurance policies, among other potential compensation. We have provided remediation to eligible customers with policies opened between December 3, 2008 and November 30, 2016. Wells Fargo has worked to identify and provide remediation to all customers who may have been affected. Eligible customers will receive this remediation automatically and are not required to take any action.

    If you have any questions about a notice or refund check you received or have not heard from Wells Fargo and believe you may be eligible for compensation related to a renters or simplified term life insurance referral, we encourage you to contact our Customer Care Team at 1-800-255-2338.

    What is the Collateral Protection Insurance (“CPI”) Remediation Program?

    Customers’ auto loan contracts required them to maintain comprehensive and collision physical damage insurance throughout the term of their loan. As commonly permitted under those contracts, Wells Fargo Dealer Services (“Dealer Services”) would purchase CPI from an insurance company on the customer’s behalf if our vendor was unable to confirm — from either the customer or an insurance company — that the customer already had the required insurance.  As of September 30, 2016, Wells Fargo stopped placing CPI.

    Wells Fargo has identified issues related to the CPI policies placed for Dealer Services customers who had the necessary physical damage insurance for the entire time or for a portion of the CPI policy period, which we refer to as “duplicative CPI” coverage.

    Eligible Dealer Services customers for whom we have records indicating duplicative CPI was placed between October 15, 2005 and September 30, 2016 will automatically receive any compensation due to them under our remediation plan.  This may include a refund of duplicative CPI interest and/or CPI premium charges, to the extent not previously refunded.  It may also include a refund of fees (such as late fees) assessed to the customer’s account during the time when duplicative CPI may have caused the fee to be assessed, among other potential compensation.  Eligible customers should receive this remediation automatically and are not required to take any action.

    All Dealer Services customers who had CPI policies placed in five states within defined time periods, whether those policies were duplicative or not, will receive a full refund of CPI premium and interest, to the extent not already refunded, among other potential compensation.  The customers eligible for this compensation had a CPI policy placed in Arkansas between July 30, 2012 and September 30, 2016; in Michigan between July 30, 2011 and September 30, 2016; in Mississippi between July 30, 2014 and September 30, 2016; in Tennessee between July 30, 2011 and September 30, 2016; or in Washington between July 30, 2011 and September 30, 2016.  Again, eligible customers should receive this remediation automatically andare not required to take any action.

    In addition, eligible Dealer Services customers who experienced a repossession or charge-off that may have been caused by duplicative CPI or a CPI policy placed within one of the five states in the timeframes referenced above may receive additional compensation and/or account credits under our remediation plan.  Where we determine that a repossession was caused by duplicative CPI, in accordance with our remediation plan, the customer will receive a monetary reimbursement for estimated out-of-pocket transportation and non-transportation expenses, a refund or credit for repossession costs assessed to the account, and in some cases a payment for the customer’s lost equity in the vehicle, among other potential compensation.  These customers also will receive the compensation outlined above for duplicative CPI.  Again, eligible customers should receive this remediation automatically and are not required to take any action.

    For each of these categories, Wells Fargo will also work with the credit bureaus to correct customers’ credit records, if applicable.

    Finally, Dealer Services customers who had CPI placed and where our records reflect the customer needed the CPI for the entire coverage period will receive a letter asking them to provide more information if the customer in fact had their own separate physical damage insurance overlapping with the CPI policy.

    We are processing and sending remediation payments and related letters to customers included in the remediation as soon as we can.  Because of the magnitude and complexity associated with our CPI remediation, some Dealer Services customers may not receive correspondence or payments until later in 2019.

    In addition to our Dealer Services CPI remediation outlined above, we are evaluating potential remediation to customers who had CPI placed through Wells Fargo Auto Finance (“Auto Finance”), which was a business unit previously operated separately from Dealer Services.  We will update this website with further details on any CPI remediation available to Auto Finance customers when those details are available.

    This remediation is ongoing and eligible customers should be receiving notices and remediation automatically. If you have any questions about the CPI remediation plan, please contact our CPI Customer Care Team at 1-888-228-9735 or email at info@WellsFargoCPIPayments.com.

    What is the Guaranteed Asset/Auto Protection (“GAP”) Remediation Program?

    GAP is an optional product offered by automobile dealerships to customers at the time they purchase a vehicle. GAP products offer customers additional protection beyond a standard automobile insurance policy in the event that their vehicle suffers a total loss (for example, if the vehicle is in an accident or is stolen).  When this happens, GAP may help pay off the loan balance not covered by the customer’s primary auto insurance. GAP may be purchased in full or financed as part of the motor vehicle financing agreement with the dealership.

    Wells Fargo Auto (“WF Auto”) customers who pay off their financing agreement early or whose vehicle is repossessed may be eligible for a refund of any unearned portion of the amount they paid for GAP.  In the states identified below, state law requires indirect auto lenders such as WF Auto to ensure that a refund is issued. Wells Fargo has determined that some customers whose loans originated in the following states may not have received a refund, and Wells Fargo plans to provide remediation to these customers: Alabama, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

    Eligible customers are not required to take any action to receive this remediation and should be receiving notices and remediation automatically.  The first remediation payments were mailed in December 2018 and additional mailings are ongoing.

    We are continuing to evaluate our GAP remediation plan. We will update this website with further details regarding the remediation plan when the plan is finalized. 

    This remediation is ongoing and eligible customers should be receiving notices and remediation automatically. If you have any questions about the GAP remediation plan, please contact our GAP Customer Care Team at 1-844-860-6962.

    What is the Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Remediation Program?

    Wells Fargo offers prospective borrowers the ability to lock in an agreed upon interest rate for a period while their mortgage loan application is pending. Depending on the circumstances, if a residential mortgage loan does not close during the defined rate lock period, Wells Fargo may charge the customer a fee to extend the rate lock period.

    On October 4, 2017, Wells Fargo announced that after an internal review, we determined that our mortgage rate lock extension fee policy was, at times, inconsistently applied during the period of September 16, 2013 through February 28, 2017. As a result, some borrowers were charged fees for rate lock extensions when Wells Fargo was primarily responsible for the delays that caused the need for the extensions. Effective March 1, 2017, Wells Fargo changed how we manage the rate lock extension process by establishing a centralized review team that reviews all rate lock extension requests for consistent application of our policy.

    Between November 2017 and July 2018, Wells Fargo reached out to all home lending customers who paid rate lock extension fees for extensions requested between September 16, 2013 and February 28, 2017. While we believe many of the rate lock extension fees during the period in question were appropriately charged under our policy, Wells Fargo offered refunds (plus interest) to all customers who paid rate lock extension fees for extensions requested during this time frame.

    If you have any questions about a notice or refund check you received or have not heard from Wells Fargo and believe you may be eligible for compensation related to a mortgage interest rate lock extension fee, we encourage you to contact our Rate Lock Customer Care Team at 1-866-385-5008.

    We want to ensure that you only experience the very best customer service from us. If you have any questions that are not addressed above, please visit us in one of our branches or call our 24/7 toll-free number at 1-800-TO-WELLS (1-800-869-3557).

  • Wells Fargo Story : Six tips for a successful homebuying experience

    Preparing to buy a house in six steps

    Shopping for a house can be stressful for anyone, but these tips from Wells Fargo Home Lending can help ensure a successful homebuying experience.


    Buying a home can challenge anyone’s patience, especially during spring and summer — typically the busiest time of the year, when competition can be fierce.

    Still, by doing your homework, learning the market, and following a few basic steps to fine-tune your financial health, you can boost your chances of homeownership success.

    Homeowner Chiquita Millender said she brought rookie enthusiasm to her first homebuying experience, but quickly learned it took more than that to succeed. Millender had student loans and other debt problems from college that had hurt her credit, and she and her husband couldn’t afford the house they wanted in the Atlanta area based on his income alone.

    “I got so discouraged I wanted to quit,” said the 31-year-old restaurant manager and Wells Fargo customer. “Finally, though, I told myself to be a big girl and start again.”

    With help from Wells Fargo, Millender put herself on a disciplined financial plan, reduced her debt, improved her debt-to-income ratio, and saved enough for a down payment. Her credit score rose about 200 points. Eventually, she and her husband found the home of their dreams and were approved for $150,000 more in financing than they had initially sought.

    “Homeownership is something I appreciate so much,” she said. “It’s definitely an accomplishment I’m proud of. I was the first in my family to go to college and the first to buy a home. Now I can teach my sisters and brothers, even my mother, how to attain homeownership. It really feels great.”

    Six tips for a successful homebuying experience

    Before scrolling through listings and sharpening your negotiation skills, potential homebuyers need to take some important preliminary steps, said Michael DeVito, head of Wells Fargo Home Lending.

    “When buying a home, it helps to be prepared — including understanding what you can afford,” he said. “First-time homebuyers are often surprised to learn about all of the programs in place to help them with the purchase process. Talk to an expert and follow these key steps to make the path to homeownership a great experience.”

    Read text version

    1. Know your credit: Your credit report holds detailed information about your past use of credit. That data then gets calculated into a number representing your creditworthiness — your credit score. Once a year, you may obtain a free copy of your credit report from each of the three credit reporting companies at annualcreditreport.com, the official site for free credit reports. Wells Fargo also provides online and mobile customers free access to their FICO® Credit Score.
    2. Manage your debt: Your debt-to-income ratio can also play a key role when buying a home. Try to keep your total debt level at or below 36 percent of your gross monthly income, allowing for a potential new mortgage payment.
    3. Have cash available for a down payment: Many people believe you need 20 percent of the home purchase price for a down payment, but that is no longer reality. Some programs allow qualified buyers to put down as little as 3 percent. Certain community initiatives, like Wells Fargo’s NeighborhoodLIFT® program, offer down payment assistance.
    4. Demonstrate proof of income: Home mortgage financing programs are available for a range of incomes. The key is demonstrating your ability to repay the loan. Lenders will review your income history and require current W-2s, tax returns, or similar documentation.
    5. Have a rainy day fund: Lenders want to see that you have savings or a cushion to handle the unexpected expenses that come with homeownership, such as a leaky roof or failing appliance.
    6. Get preapproved: Getting preapproved is a good way to understand what kind of home loan product or program you may qualify for and may help you negotiate price against competing offers.

    Additionally, there are other resources that may be available to prospective homebuyers through their banks. Wells Fargo customers, for example, may qualify for the yourFirst MortgageSM program, which offers financial education and housing counseling to help guide them through the buying process. Wells Fargo also provides online and mobile customers a number of homebuying tools, including a debt-to-income calculator.

    Taking on the competition

    Homebuying is a lot tougher than many people realize — you have to do your homework and be prepared for whatever is going on in the marketplace, because “it’s a whole new real estate world out there,” said Rachel Hartman in an article for the National Association of Realtors®.

    Homebuyers may encounter a range of hurdles, including bidding wars, all-cash offers, dubious home staging, and sketchy online promotions, she said.

    “You will face an onslaught of tough competition and more that will require you to hone your homebuying skills more than ever,” said Hartman. “But knowing what awaits you is half the battle.”

    The Prosperity Paradox: How Innovation Can Lift Nations Out of Poverty, by Clayton Christensen, Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon. Co-authors Clayton Christensen, Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon tackle one of the world’s most enduring and intractable issues: Poverty. Despite seemingly altruistic intentions of development and billions of dollars of resources, many countries on the receiving end of aid from the developed world have, in fact, become even poorer. Addressing the multitude of factors for this frustrating contradiction, Christensen, Ojomo, and Dillon offer an alternative route to sustainable development, using innovative proven models from around the world.

David Epstein’s research turns this theory on its head. In Range, he shares the secrets of how generalists are succeeding at every age. His work spotlights the fact that it is not necessarily when we start, but more often how starts, failures and restarts fuel our agility, determination and ultimate success. ”Don’t feel behind” is this author’s advice—and with deep insights at the point of where sport, science and technology cross, it’s advice worth following.

    D-Day Girls: The Spies Who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II, by Sarah Rose. Before the invasion of Normandy signaled a turning point in World War II, Allied forces faced a seemingly unstoppable Germany. The situation demanded unprecedented action on the part of the Special Operations Executive—a move to recruit women as spies. Thirty-nine women would go on to serve in a program of sabotage, disruption and espionage that would pave the way for an Allied victory at D-Day. As we approach the 75th anniversary of this historic day, Sarah Rose has rigorously researched their stories and pointed a much-needed spotlight on some of the unsung heroines of the war. Her gripping accounts evoke the drama and action of a spy-novel—except they’re all true.

    China’s slowdown shadows return

    May 16, 2019

    China’s domestic demand saw broad-based easing in April. More pro-growth policies are expected.

    China’s domestic demand saw broad-based easing in April. The NBS Manufacturing PMI fell from 50.5 in March to 50.1 in April. Advances of retail sales decelerated from 8.7% YoY to 7.2%, the slowest growth since May 2003. Industrial value-added also fell to 5.4% in April from 8.5% in March. Fixed asset investment (FAI) moderated to 6.1% YoY YTD from 6.3% pending the effect of accelerated infrastructure spending to surface.

    Private consumption sentiment has remained cautious. Sales performance of cosmetic, furniture, and daily use goods decelerated noticeably. Non-necessity such as automobile registered on-year decline for 12th consecutive month. Supply of automobiles production also fell 15.8%, down significantly from -2.6% in March. Gold, silver and jewelry rebounded to positive territory modestly (Chart 2). Consumption sentiment was dampened by weaker expectation of future income growth alongside a weakening labour market.

    The employment PMI for both manufacturing and the non-manufacturing had remained in contraction zone. Unemployment rate is standing above 5.0% for over 8 months despite mild retreat seen lately (Chart 3), exerting downward pressure on wage. Also, negative wealth effect from the slumping equity market is likely to weigh on spending power. CSI 300 fell from its 13 months high of 4,121 points to 3,680 of late (down 10.2%).

    Industrial production has already weakened in tandem with sluggish export performance. It fell 2.7% in April, down from an increase of 13.8% in March. China decided to retaliate on USD60bn US imported goods over the weekend. The US is also planning to raise tariffs to 25% for the rest (USD325bn) of the Chinese shipments (mainly consumer goods), which will be an unambiguous negative for exports. Deterioration in industrial activities will weigh on GDP growth. According to our estimation, 25% tariffs on USD 200bn Chinese exports would shave 1.0ppt on GDP growth this year. Tariffs impositions on all of China’s exports to the US would impact about 1.5 ppt (see “RRR cut signals PBoC still supportive”).

    Hence more pro-growth policy is expected. Meanwhile, the impact from VAT cut effective in April (RMB800bn corporate tax saving) and social security fee cut effective in May (>300RMB) will feed through into growth momentum.

    More large-scale domestic stimulus is also needed to boost the industrial activities. On a positive note, real estate investment went up by 2.4ppt to 11.9% YTD. Yet, investment appetite in manufacturing sector remained particularly conservative (Chart 4). Infrastructure investment decelerated further since early 2019. The downtrend may reverse course ahead. More projects will be rolled out by NDRC. In fact, there was appreciable improvements in commodities imports such as oil, copper and coal due to increased demand from infrastructure projects (see “Stimulus is working; more coming”). Local government bond, as main source of funding for infrastructure, has been rising steadily (Chart 5). Its cumulative issuance jumped 16.1% from March.

    Premature policy normalization could risk choking off growth momentum. Tightening monetary condition seen in April, is therefore not likely to sustain (Chart 6). FAI should rebound down the road. Currently, FAI was mainly driven by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) (Chart 7). The authority will continue to impose targeted measure to unclog funding channels to private enterprises (POEs) who are more affected by the China-US trade war.

    In fact, bank loan dropped from 13.7% to 13.5% in April. The corporate loan as percentage of total loan shrank (Chart 8) mirroring weakening loan demand. Therefore, PBoC extended CNY267.4 bn to commercial banks in April via its targeted medium-term lending facility (TMLF). Reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cut will release RMB280bn for small to medium size banks, exerting downward pressure on interest rates. Yield of 10-year government bonds dropped from 12.4bps from a year-high of 3.435% to 3.311% of late.

    Re-leveraging will eventually add downward pressure to CNY exchange rate. CNY has depreciated towards 6.9 from 6.7 against the USD (Chart 9). Our back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that if the US increased tariffs to 25% from 10% on USD 200bn of China’s goods, USD/CNY could rise to 7.30. A full-blown trade war which entails a 25% US tariff on the rest of China’s goods could propel USD/CNY to 8 (see “Effective link between tariffs and CNY”, December 13, 2018). A relatively strong US economy may dissipate the dovish stance of Fed, thereby also adding downward pressure on CNY.

  • Greater Bay Area: In-depth Study by DBS Bank Group Research

    Greater Bay Area: In-depth Study by DBS Bank Group Research

    Group Research / May 15, 2019

    Our analysts took a deep dive to examine opportunities and challenges to come as the Greater Bay Area (GBA) embarks on its journey to become China’s newest innovation and technology hub.

    Despite strong economic growth over the past decades, the Greater Bay Area (GBA) – excluding HK and Macao – is still being viewed as a manufacturing- driven economy. This explains why its wealth level is only 25% to 50% of other global bay areas. We expect the services sector to lead economic growth going forward, with its GDP contribution to rise from 57% (66% incl. Hong Kong and Macau) to 72% (and 76%) by 2030. With this transformation, we estimate that population in the region will expand from 70m currently to over >100m in 2030; GDP per capita is estimated to double and catch-up with Tokyo Bay area, creating tremdous opportunities for companies in this area.

    We have performed an analysis to identify the potential of each industry in the GBA region, based on near-term (2022) and long-term (2030) growth (CAGR). Our rankings show that high value-added manufacturing such as new energy vehicles (NEV), smart appliances, consumer Internet of Things (IoT) hardware and environmental products will lead near-term growth. In the long-term, growth will also be driven by online ads, finance services, healthcare, warehouse, office and education services; similar to global peers as the services industry flourishes.
