Rising above the noise and confusion... Political drama aside, with earnings season just getting underway in earnest, it's not unusual that issuance would have been dominated by financials last week! Of the $48.1bln raised last week, the eighth busiest ex-SSA issuance week of the year, and the twenty-first time this year that the average weekly estimate ($35bln) has been breached, $36.85bln, or 77% came from domestic FIGS - since scores of corporate/industrial companies, some of whom have M&A deals on the table, were restricted by blackout periods.

It’s #AmericaSavesWeek and Day 2’s focus is: Saving for the Unexpected. All of us run into an unexpected expense sooner or later. That’s why it’s important to build an emergency fund to pay for those moments without dipping into your savings. It’s ok to start small and build over time – eventually, aim for a goal like saving 3-6 months of living expenses in case of an emergency. #ASW2024 #FinancialWellness

This afternoon, U.S. Department of the Treasury's State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) and the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) will host a fireside chat on Scaling Community Finance. The chat will highlight Calvert Impact’s Access small business program, which is funded by SSBCI. Our CEO Jennifer Pryce will join our partners from TruFund Financial Services, New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) and the Urban Investment Group at Goldman Sachs for a panel on how Access leverages SSBCI funding to support capital deployment to small businesses in four states across the U.S. Access was created to support #SmallBusiness owners by bringing access to capital and technical assistance to historically un- and under-banked communities across participating states, as well as access to capital markets for #CommunityLenders. This program’s development was supported by Citi Foundation and Wells Fargo. Citi Foundation’s $10M grant enabled Access’ early product development required to launch, and the grant’s flexibility enabled Calvert Impact to be nimble and responsive as needs evolved during the development phase. More information about today's event, which will also include a panel with Treasury Department, The Aspen Institute’s Business Ownership Initiative, and Opportunity Finance Network that will explore other models for SSBCI to support #CDFIs, can be found here: https://bit.ly/3Y92ob1

Once again, a prominent personal finance "expert" is pushing a sub par product. This savings account offers only 3.1% (You can get 4.5-5% with most other online high yield savings accounts) & the 6 month CD offers 4.75%. You can get 5.25% buying a 6 month treasury directly from your broker, not to mention the increased flexibility you have with a tbill. the 12 month CD rate is reasonable but again, don't forget that you have to lock up your money for the 12 months or you will pay a penalty. Is the extra 0.25% over 12 months worth losing access to your money or do you prefer the flexibility of owning a tbill instead? I'm interest to hear what you think. Please leave comment below
