GoalVest Advisory Launches Late-Stage Venture Capital Fund Designed for RIAs

GoalVest

GoalVest Advisory, a female-founded registered investment advisor, today announced the launch of its Venture Growth Fund, allowing high-net-worth investors access to what it believes are some of the most sought after venture deals. Designing funds for registered investment advisors (RIAs) and their clients, GoalVest is leading the way in providing RIAs much-needed access to the Venture Growth asset class, which has exhibited tremendous growth as companies are typically staying private longer. The fund’s strategy will continue to follow GoalVest’s existing formula of using multi-channel deal sourcing to create a portfolio thoughtfully diversified across multiple thematic market trends in areas such as AI, SaaS, Climate Tech, Defense, Fintech, and Consumer. GoalVest has invested in numerous mid-to-late stage venture-backed companies in prior funds including: OLIPOP, CoreWeave, Anduril, Insomnia Cookies, Klarna, Apollo.io, Redwood Materials, Armada Systems, Shield AI, Aplazo, Cents, Cargomatic, and Animoca Brands. “Almost 90% of US companies are private, so giving clients the ability to invest in venture capital has been an effective way to capture growth and, we believe, has differentiated us from our RIA peers,” said Sevasti Balafas, Founder & CEO of GoalVest Advisory. “We are excited to build on our success and offer this fund to RIAs looking for access to high-growth investments at reasonable fees and minimums.” GoalVest is expecting to raise at least $50 million for the closed-end fund with only a limited number of slots available. Unlike early-stage venture, which offers more risk and a longer time horizon, the Venture Growth stage has a much shorter, two- to four- year investment horizon, and seeks a return of several multiples of invested capital. "The timing is ideal for these types of investments given the depressed valuations we are seeing in the private markets right now,” said Blair Cohen, Chief Investment Officer of the Venture Growth Fund. “We are thrilled with the access we routinely have to high quality deals and our performance to date.” GoalVest designed this fund with the RIA client in mind, offering: Accessible minimums: with a minimum investment threshold of $250,000 the fund is accessible to a broader range of clients Shorter lock-up period: unlike early-stage VC funds, GoalVest provides clients with a shorter time to liquidity De-risked portfolio: the fund targets a thoughtfully diversified basket of mid-to-late stage venture-backed companies that offer much less risk than early-stage venture capital while maintaining the potential for outsized returns relative to public equities For more information about GoalVest Advisory and the Venture Growth Fund, please visit https://goalvestadvisory.com/venturecapital or contact Blair Cohen at Blair@goalvestadvisory.com About GoalVest Advisory GoalVest Advisory is a boutique wealth advisory firm dedicated to providing personalized portfolio management services tailored to high-net-worth clients.

Robinhood Introduces A New Way To Trade On Desktop Through Robinhood Legend

Benzinga

By Josh Enomoto, Benzinga Investors looking for an edge in the market may want to pay extra close attention to Robinhood, as they have unveiled the latest addition to its iconic trading platform. Named Robinhood Legend, this desktop-focused interface is designed from the ground up to accommodate active traders. While mobile-app trading certainly offers significant benefits, the smaller screens can represent a challenge in deciphering multiple datapoints. With a desktop setup, traders can analyze multiple charts and technical indicators simultaneously, facilitating information management and effective decision-making. Even better, Legend is available at no extra charge for all Robinhood account holders. Plus, the core attributes offered to a customer – no equity options contract fees (though certain charges may apply), low margin rates and commission-free stock and exchange-traded fund (ETF) trading – remain the same. What Distinguishes Robinhood Legend From the Pack Robinhood reports that Legend isn’t just another run-of-the-mill trading platform with some extra bells and whistles attached. Indeed, there are many generic products in the retail investing ecosystem. Instead, Legend represents a carefully tailored toolset for traders who require speed, precision and customization. Consider the following features: Customizable layout for personalized trading: With Robinhood Legend, you can personalize your trading setup in just a few clicks. Through the use of organizational widgets, market participants can adjust chart schematics to suit their strategies – whether that involves targeting technical indicators, market trends or price movements. Also, users can choose from pre-designed layouts, minimizing delays. Advanced charting tools for in-depth analysis: Investors increasingly rely on multiple disciplines, including technical analysis, to gain an edge. Robinhood Legend addresses the growing concern of companies paywalling their technical solutions with access to advanced charting analytics. Whether you’re tracking moving averages, Bollinger bands or Fibonacci retracements, Legend provides the tools necessary for consistent success. One-click trading for quicker execution: When it comes to trading, timing could be the difference between securing a profit or incurring a loss. Here, Robinhood Legend brings to the table a seamless solution, allowing traders to execute transactions directly from charts with a single click. Moreover, members have the ability to trade from a watchlist, an options chain or a position window. Essentially, traders can maintain situational awareness at all times, entering or exiting positions seamlessly without taking eyes off the live-feed analytics. A Must-Have For Active Traders Thanks to the underlying no extra cost framework for anybody with a Robinhood account, Legend’s product offering seems purely accretive. Many advanced traders will likely be willing to pay big bucks for access to the analytics alone, which can help identify profitable setups and opportunities. Most importantly, Legend’s focus on desktop functionality ensures that traders who need real-time data across multiple sources will benefit from a more comprehensive experience than what’s possible on mobile platforms. With sub-second data updates, users will always be cognizant of market movements, allowing for sharper, more responsive trading. With the doors open, now’s the perfect time to unlock the full potential of your trading experience with Robinhood Legend. Featured photo by Pexels on Pixabay.

How Upcoming Presidential Election Could Impact Macroeconomic Lens, And How You Could Benefit – Crossroads Summit Aims To Offer Insight

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga People concerned about how the next election might impact their financial well-being or the state of global affairs may want to attend the 2024 Crossroads Summit… because chaos can often lead to opportunity. Former President Barack Obama is quoted as saying that elections have consequences. Perhaps this is why voters can often be consumed with confusion and anxiety leading up to them. Today’s political climate appears more divisive than most can remember, and the two candidates couldn’t be more different, both from a personality and policy perspective. Each one’s stated policies come with potential risks and rewards. Comparing The Candidates’ Corporate Tax Policies The Republican candidate Donald Trump vows to reduce the rate big companies pay in income taxes. He says he will lower the corporate tax rate from its current 21% to 15%. His Democratic opponent Kamala Harris pledges to raise it to 28%. The potential increase in corporate profits created by a lower tax bill might well benefit shareholders of public companies. But are they likely to increase the federal budget deficit? On the flip side, would an increase in those same tax rates so badly decrease corporate earnings that the stock market swoons? Or will GDP rise and will we witness a reduction in the deficit? The reality is that nobody can truly know with absolute certainty. According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM), both candidates’ policy proposals will increase the federal budget deficit. More problematic is that the PWBM “analyses only include proposals that are detailed enough to score.” In other words, they really don’t have enough to go on to arrive at a solid conclusion. How Geopolitics And Economics Collide – Where Does Each Candidate Stand? Russia’s war on Ukraine “could upend fiscal and monetary policy in advanced economies,” according to the International Monetary Fund. The two candidates for president have very different views on how to deal with the conflict. Donald Trump says that the United States should “ get out ” of the mix and leave any resolution up to the two combatants. Vice President Harris has vowed “ unwavering support ” for the embattled country. Many investors find it problematic to determine whether the next President of the United States will usher in a new world order or maintain the status quo. The Council on Foreign Relations offers a stark contrast between the two. For example, Trump says that the United States should reassess its role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Vice President is a strong supporter of multilateral cooperation like NATO. Conflicts in places like Gaza and Congo and instability in places like Venezuela – where the U.S. has sanctioned judicial and election officials – add further chaos to the mix. All of this begs the question: How could these regional skirmishes change the climate for investment? Will The United States Lead, Follow Or Stay Out Of The Way? Potentially more troubling for American investors is the broader role the United States takes in global affairs beyond possible conflict resolution. Will an America First philosophy bolster the country’s standing as a leader among other nations and help it promote mutually beneficial synergies? Or will it stifle cooperation? The two candidates do not have the same approach to reinvigorating American engagement in the world. The consequences of trade and foreign policy are far-reaching, hugely complicated and as the World Trade Organization notes, “have always been intertwined.” Where Can Investors Turn For Insights? A recent article in Forbes magazine predicted that "over one hundred thousand humanoid robots will be deployed in the real world" by 2030 and that the job losses related to that and AI will lead to "civil unrest and protests." Investors looking to make sense of the chaos of a rapidly changing world might consider attending the Crossroads Summit 2024. The event offers traders an opportunity to network with geopolitical experts and thought leaders across different disciplines to help leaders refine investing strategies focused on the future. The Summit will feature several keynote speakers including bestselling authors Peter Zeihan and Neil Howe, City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Vice President of Mastercard (NYSE: MA) Eduardo R. Abreu and more. The Crossroads Summit seeks to connect leaders and investors with some of the most respected visionaries in their fields. These analysts have a deep and multi-disciplinary understanding of the complex issues facing the world today. They are focused on identifying opportunities in potential innovations that may emerge from global chaos. The conference provides attendees with an opportunity to discuss their concerns about the future with experts whose business it is to profit from it. The Crossroads Summit believes that the sharpest traders and investors are always looking beyond the headlines and soundbites.
