Matthew and Kelly Stafford Become Ambassadors for Trust & Will, the Leading Estate Planning Company

Trust & Will

Trust & Will, the leading digital estate planning and settlement platform in the US, today announced that Matthew and Kelly Stafford are joining as brand ambassadors and will appear in a new national television commercial talking about the importance of planning for the future. With the support of her husband Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams quarterback, Kelly battled a brain tumor and numerous health scares in recent years, bravely sharing her journey with the public as she confronted her diagnosis and recovered from a complicated surgery. Four years later, and now parents to four children, this is the first time the couple has spoken on-camera about their legacy and why creating an estate plan is vital for families. “I’ve always been a planner, trying to control the things that I can, but I’ve learned firsthand that life can change in a second,” said Kelly Stafford, brain tumor survivor and host of The Morning After podcast. “Setting up an estate plan for our family gave me peace of mind, knowing that even when the unexpected happens, everyone and everything I love would be taken care of.” “An estate plan is a playbook for what you want to happen when you pass. It makes it easier for everybody, not just us, to know our wishes and how we’d want things handled - especially for those who might have to take care of our children,” added Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams quarterback. “As a parent, I don’t want to think about these scenarios, but I know Kelly and I had to. Trust & Will has done an amazing job creating a platform that makes it easy and succinct for people to create an estate plan.” This partnership marks Trust & Will’s first celebrity endorsement and will include a national TV campaign, reaching audiences through linear broadcasting and streaming networks. “Our mission is to help every family leave a legacy, and we couldn't be more proud to partner with such a dynamic couple that has weathered health scares and understands the importance of preparing for the unexpected and safeguarding their family's future,” said Cody Barbo, CEO and Founder of Trust & Will. "The Staffords have shown tremendous belief in our mission and vision. As part of this collaboration, they will receive equity in Trust & Will, aligning their interests with ours and further solidifying their commitment to the continued success of Trust & Will."

Angi 2023 Home Improvement Trends According to Angi

YourUpdateTV

As we head towards the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the year that was and start to plan for the year ahead. Recently, Angie Hicks from Angi (formerly Angie’s List) participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the top improvement trends from 2023 and a sneak preview at what to expect next year from Angi’s annual State of Home Spending report. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/kDalzLjKHms Overall, homeowners increased spending on their home in 2023 and spending on home improvement grew 6% to $13,667 with homeowners completing an average of 11.1 projects per household in 2023. Homeowners continue to show us that they love their homes and want to maintain them and invest in them. This year, homeowners took on a lot of projects to make their homes suit their needs and fit their lifestyles. Homeowners’ top projects run the gamut from the important work of making sure that your home is well maintained to projects that make your space fit your lifestyle like bathroom remodels and interior painting. Looking forward, we expect homeowners to continue prioritizing their homes and investing in improvement and maintenance projects. As we start thinking about our resolutions for 2024, make sure to include your home in your plans. A little planning and budgeting now can save you time and stress in the new year. It’s always great to start with a list of things that you really want to do around your home and the things that you need to do to make sure your home is properly maintained. For example, remodeling a bathroom might be high up on your list of projects for 2024, but you know that your HVAC system could also use some maintenance. If you’re not sure what maintenance you need to tackle on your home, Angi has some great resources for regular maintenance that you should be up to date on each year. In order to stick to your budget, keep up with regular maintenance. This will help to prevent unexpected emergency spending that will blow your whole budget - also planning for emergency spending that might inevitably pop up due to weather events, etc. will also help prevent you from having to borrow from your improvement fund for the projects you really want to tackle. For more information, visit Angi.com About Angie Hicks Since 1995, Angie Hicks has been dedicated to helping consumers get the real scoop on local service companies and health providers. Inspired by the frustrations her co-founder had trying to find reliable contractors in suburban Columbus, Ohio, she started Angie's List 'now Angi' to help homeowners find who they should hire and who they should avoid.

NLPC Files SEC Complaint Against Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway for Having Shareholder Arrested During Annual Meeting For Mentioning Jeffrey Epstein

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) filed a Complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today against Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway for silencing and ordering the arrest of the group’s chairman, Peter Flaherty, at the company’s shareholders’ meeting on May 6, 2023 At the meeting, Flaherty spoke in favor of NLPC’s shareholder proposal for an independent chairman. Buffett is currently both Chairman and CEO. Flaherty cited the reputational risk to the company posed by Warren Buffett’s close identification with Bill Gates and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and its “woke” policies to which Buffett has contributed tens of billions. Flaherty pointed to Gates' association with Jeffrey Epstein, even after Epstein had been convicted of sex crimes against minors. From the Complaint: We hereby request that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiate a formal investigation, including the issuance of subpoenas, and take appropriate administrative and civil enforcement action against Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (Berkshire), Warren Buffett, its Chairman and CEO, and other Berkshire officers and agents, for their unlawful conduct during the annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha, Nebraska on May 6, 2023. During his authorized and SEC-mandated presentation in support of Proposal No. 8 for an independent chair, Peter Flaherty, Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), was interrupted by a Berkshire executive, had his microphone cut, and was arrested for trespassing because Warren Buffett, its CEO and Chairman, did not like what Mr. Flaherty had to say in support of NLPC’s proposal. In addition to imposing appropriate sanctions, the SEC should issue a cease and desist order against Berkshire from prematurely terminating NLPC’s and any other shareholder’s presentation at future annual shareholder meetings Events since the arrest have confirmed the importance of the issue. Last weekend, the Wall Street Journal published a lengthy story with new details about Epstein’s interactions with Gates and other wealthy individuals. On Monday, a federal judge ensured that the issue will stay alive in the new year when she ordered that the names of Epstein associates be made public. From the Complaint: NLPC further requests that the following enforcement and remedial actions be taken to ensure that NLPC’s rights as shareholders in the Company are protected and to remediate the violation of the rights of all other shareholders that took place by depriving them of the right to hear Mr. Flaherty’s statement supporting the proposal on May 6, 2023: Declare that Berkshire’s actions cutting off the mic of Mr. Flaherty before his allotted three-minutes to speak expired, having him expelled from the annual meeting, and subsequently arrested, constitute a violation of SEC’s rules and policies designed to protect shareholder rights. Order Berkshire to issue an apology on its website to NLPC and Mr. Flaherty for cutting his mic and having him arrested. Order Berkshire to post a video of Mr. Flaherty’s full uninterrupted three-minute prepared remarks on Berkshire’s website for at least three years, along with a written transcript. Issue a Cease and Desist Order that Berkshire shall refrain from prematurely terminating the oral presentation of Mr. Flaherty and any other proponent for an authorized shareholder proxy proposal or interrupting, harassing, or having them expelled from the meeting or arrested at future meetings as long as their presentation is in within the allotted time given by the company. Any and all other relief that the Commission deems just and appropriate. Click here for the Complaint. Click here for Complaint Exhibits. The Complaint includes links to three videos that together provide a complete account of what took place. What Flaherty said before his mic was cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egy8kpUaOIY Security moves in on Flaherty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQOx7FAAGbU&t=0s The arrest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErHXIrDNz14 NLPC Counsel Paul Kamenar, who submitted the Complaint, concludes: "Berkshire’s and Mr. Buffett’s actions are an ominous precedent for the rights of shareholders that cannot be allowed to stand. We believe that the silencing and arrest of a shareholder during their presentation on behalf of their proposal at the annual meeting of a public company in the United States is unprecedented, should be sanctioned, and should not allowed to be repeated." NLPC has already filed a proposal on the risks of Berkshire’s business in China for the 2024 annual meeting. Founded in 1991, the National Legal and Policy Center promotes ethics in public life through research, investigation, education and legal action.

Reflection Analytics Launches Digital Platform for Comprehensive ESG Audit and Analysis

Reflection Analytics

Reflection Analytics, a technology company delivering ESG investment evaluation, reporting and advisory services, announced today that it has launched Reflect—the first and only platform for investor-focused ESG analysis, serving asset managers, financial advisors, and investors/institutions across six key areas: advisory, due diligence, compliance, portfolio management, auditing and reporting. Launched just two months after the SEC expanded Rule 35d-1, the “Names Rule,” to include ESG terms, Reflect is the market’s only “Names Rule"-compliant software, providing an investor-focused rating that scores companies across 250 data points in 18 ESG sub-themes while also offering asset managers a portfolio management tool to ensure continuous compliance. Under the SEC’s expanded rule, asset managers have 24 months to begin reporting on their alignment, demonstrating that 80% of their investments are in securities that reflect the terms in their name, or risk regulatory fines and fees. Unlike other ESG rating companies, which focus on only financial materiality and from the corporation’s management perspective, Reflect assesses companies from the perspective of an investor’s understanding and reasonable expectations. “The big ESG ratings agencies aren’t evaluating companies from the investor’s perspective—which the expanded SEC ‘Names Rule' requires—but rather are looking at them from a corporate management perspective, which is a real problem,” said Jason Britton, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Reflection Analytics. “With existing rating methodologies, a company like McDonald’s could have a higher ESG rating than a business focused on reducing greenhouse gases and cleaning up waste. With Reflect, asset managers have, for the first time, the ability to assess investments from the investor’s perspective and at a more granular level.” The SaaS tool assesses companies by benchmarking them against their sector peer group and ranking them by quartile performance. Beyond its use as a compliance tool, Reflect is designed to support values-based investing. The Reflect platform allows advisors, investors and institutions to review portfolios based on ESG components that are most important to them while also identifying types of companies to avoid, such as those associated with weapons or alcohol. After analyzing an investment portfolio, Reflect provides a real-time, percentage-match score, rating investments across 18 sub-themes ranging from “not aligned” to “strongly aligned.” Reflect can also weigh an existing portfolio against a curated list of investments, allowing individuals and institutions to compare assets via a side-by-side analysis. With comprehensive data on 6,500 companies—or 98% of the global market capitalization—the patent-pending software can analyze virtually every asset type, including individual equities, bonds and investments in various structures, including ETFs, mutual funds and SMAs. Like a credit-rating score, Reflect provides investors, advisors and asset managers with the most comprehensive, up-to-date ESG information and the assurance it brings. About Reflection Analytics Reflection Analytics’ patent-pending software—Reflect—is the only ESG ratings tool designed to serve asset managers, financial advisors and investors/institutions across six key areas: advisory, due diligence, compliance, portfolio management, auditing and reporting. Unlike other ESG software, which are reliant on rating methodologies rooted in the corporate perspective, Reflect analyzes 250 data points from an investor-focused viewpoint. As the industry’s only “Names Rule-compliant tool,” Reflect helps portfolio managers meet new compliance standards, with the SEC’s expansion of the “Names Rule” to include ESG funds taking effect in less than two years. Reflect maintains comprehensive self-reported and third-party data on 6,500 companies, or 98% of the global market cap. For more information, visit: www.reflectvalues.com.
