Pension Blog News
Hi everyone:
1. I'd like to take a few minutes to thank you for your terrific emails and comments. Please keep them coming. I may not always be able to respond right away but know that every email is read. The blog is a labor of love and it's been personally gratifying to be able to provide information that our 15,000+ visitors have found helpful. The list of blog topics is long and getting longer every day. There is so much to say!
2. We are migrating to a new blog home in about four to six weeks. The URL stays the same, www.pensionriskmatters.com. We'll have many more functions. The goal is to make the blog easier to navigate for our readers.
3. We are creating thought leadership in the form of research papers and webinars for the fall with a special emphasis on investment risk, pension finance, shareholder impact, valuation and alternatives (hedge funds, private equity funds, etc). If you would like to be a guest speaker or contributing author and/or want to submit ideas, please contact us. You can send an email to pension@bvallc.com or call 203-261-5519.
4. The biggest challenge is knowing whether to provide more technical information or instead offer big picture analyses or both.
5. Though the blog was only created a few months ago, we look forward to a continued conversation about employee benefits.
In appreciation of our readers,
