Tonight, as we celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Asian American Business Development Center and the thirteenth anniversary of the Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business Award Gala, the award recipients will join the ranks of over 600 high achieving individuals who have been honored at this prestigious event since 2001. They represent a microcosm of the best of Asian American entrepre- neurship and professionalism, with a pool of diverse and multi-talented individuals engaged in a wide range of business interests. The depth and breadth of their business undertakings clearly demonstrate that Asian Americans are an integral part of the larger economy. Asian American 9 entrepreneurs have multilingual and multicultural backgrounds that make them ideally suited to helping the U.S. stay competitive in the global economy. Corporations can leverage their Asian American profes- sionals within their ranks to enhance business in Asia and broaden their reputation as a global leader. The past and present award recipients are a unique group of individuals who have what it takes to mentor the next generation of Asian American business men and women. We are excited to announce the launch of the Business Mentorship Network and are thrilled to have received support from Pfizer and Macy’s Foundation to enable it to be rolled out in the coming months. Finally, I would like to thank all our sponsors for their support, without which this event would not be possible.

Our culture is defined by six core values. They are the key to our storied legacy and the guide to our daily business decisions. Excellence We pride ourselves on the quality of our work, and we seek to exceed expectations. Entrepreneurship We believe that great organizations are built by employing and partnering with the best and brightest people. Talent We believe in fostering individual creativity and a sense of ownership. Stewardship We are dedicated to safeguarding the capital and trust of our clients, and advancing their best interests. A Letter From Managing Partner Peter Lawson-Johnston II At the time of writing this letter, the world is enduring a health crisis while the United States is undergoing a self-examination of societal inequities, both of which are challenging our preconceived notions of where and how we work, learn, worship, and most importantly, how we connect with each other as a community. This is our fourth annual Impact Report that documents our achievements and values as they relate to contributing to the communities where we live and work. But how do you assess your impact on the world, as a business, and as a corporate citizen, when the world seemingly has fundamentally changed? A crisis of this scale is remarkable in how it forces one to focus simultaneously on the uncertainty of today as well as the uncertainty of next year or future decades. Uncertainty can be insidious, and it is easy to withdraw or disengage.

  • Indiana Department of Insurance Approves Plan to Protect the Policyholders and Employees of Standard Life of Indiana, Now in Rehabilitation
    INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE APPROVES PLAN TO PROTECT THE POLICYHOLDERS AND EMPLOYEES OF STANDARD LIFE OF INDIANA, NOW IN REHABILITATION INDIANAPOLIS, DECEMBER 22, 2010 – Indiana Insurance Commissioner Stephen W. Robertson today announced an agreement by which Standard Life Insurance Company of Indiana, which has been in rehabilitation for two years, would be reorganized. Among other things, the agreement contemplates that Guggenheim Life and Annuity Company would reinsure policies originally issued by Standard Life. As part of the transaction, Guggenheim Life and Annuity and its affiliates also would take over Standard Life’s offices in Carmel and guarantee employment to Standard Life’s 55 employees for at least 18 months. Guggenheim Life and Annuity currently has its principal place of business in Indianapolis. The agreement, which is still subject to approval by the Marion County Circuit Court and other closing conditions, would provide security for the nearly 34,000 individuals, including 3,400 Indiana residents, who hold annuities and other insurance policies issued by Standard Life. “This agreement promises a successful conclusion to the Department’s efforts to protect the policyholders of this company,” Robertson said. “It’s a credit to our rehabilitation team and to Guggenheim Life and Annuity that the solution, in addition to achieving our primary goal of protecting consumers, would keep the business operations and the jobs in Indiana.” Robertson said that the orderly process for the reorganization of Standard Life and transfer of its policies means that the Department’s rehabilitation efforts would not result in additional costs to taxpayers and would protect the full cash value of policies for its customers.

  • Market Perspectives
    Market Perspectives BY SCOTT MINERD | CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER 2012 Outlook The Triumph of Optimism There is an old proverb that describes three methods of gaining wisdom: “First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is bitterest.” At year-end, many of us turn to the nobility of reflection in hopes of gleaning wisdom for the new year. Recently, my own ruminations on the past helped me solidify my outlook on the future. Five years ago, while bulls abounded, I remember sitting through product design meetings, client strategy sessions, investment committee meetings, internal portfolio manager and sector manager meetings—all of them focused on what I called “the coming crisis of biblical proportions.” During those long weeks and months, we planned for crises, disasters, and even unthinkable scenarios like zero percent short-term interest rates and policies that would require central banks to purchase government bonds. Many thought me crazy. At a certain point in 2007, I might have agreed. But sure enough, just about every nightmare economic and financial market scenario imaginable materialized; it was only a matter of time. When I look back over the past five years and consider where we are today, I feel two distinct emotions: gratitude and optimism. Gratitude because these crises have created tremendous investment opportunities. Optimism because I see the dark clouds finally breaking. Today, there is positive economic momentum in the United States, progress in Europe, and global policy accommodations being implemented that are pro-cyclical and supportive of longer-term economic growth.

  • Market Perspectives by Scott Minerd, Chairman of Investments and Global CIO
    Market Perspectives By Scott Minerd, Chairman of Investments and Global CIO June 2014 Central Banks Chart a Course for Overheating On the evening of Oct. 30, 1938, millions of Americans tuned their radios to CBS and heard Ramón Raquello’s orchestra playing “La Cumparsita”. The popular tango music was interrupted by a news bulletin about explosions of incandescent gas on the planet Mars and a subsequent report of a huge, flaming object landing on a farm in New Jersey. If you had not heard the introduction to Orson Welles’ interpretation of “The War of the Worlds,” you would have been excused for thinking that the sky was falling. Thousands of frightened people called the police in a panic. While entertainment has changed in the intervening decades, we are no less susceptible to panic. Today in financial markets the most overplayed story is that we are at risk of some manner of imminent crisis, whether it’s Europe facing deflation, Japan’s Abenomics experiment failing, China heading toward a real estate crisis or problems in any number of other countries from Ukraine to Thailand. Heightening these worries is the fact that both equities and fixed income have rallied in tandem and fears of asset bubbles exist in categories from high-yield bonds to technology stocks. Especially with credit, some investors have begun to fear that a crisis must be around the corner. After all, with valuations evocative of 1993 or 2005/2006, logic suggests that what might come next could be akin to the massive bond-market correction of 1994, or the credit-market freeze of 2007 and the full-blown meltdown that followed in 2008.
