HOLBROOK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2020 / American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. (AP)-a privately-held, independent broker/dealer which provides business solutions and support to financial advisors throughout the country-recently unveiled an enhanced update of its proprietary technology tool, Advisor Dashboard, which has been designed primarily for its affiliated investment professionals who conduct fee-based advisory business.

"This new technology advancement will have a meaningful impact on the practices of AP advisors," states AP-affiliated investment professional Gus Catanzaro (PPS Advisors; Holbrook, N.Y.), a member of the American Portfolios Advisor Council (APAC) on which he serves as lead for the Technology Subcommittee that was formed to focus on best practices and build those principles into tools from which AP advisors can leverage knowledge.

We are proud to present an Advisor Dashboard that was built by our advisors, for our advisors-all to help them better manage their businesses."

The new Advisor Dashboard provides AP advisors a dynamic view of their businesses, affording them the increased ability to scale their operations by giving them a hierarchical, at-a-glance overview of the health of their practices.

Further explains EVP of Technology Strategy Atindra Barua, whose technology team worked closely with APAC to ensure advisor expectations were met, "The tool shows AP's affiliated colleagues the monies that have gone in and out, as well as accounts opened and closed, which are refreshed daily through overnight data updates. Essentially, it allows them to 'slice and dice' their business by segmenting their client base so they can focus on the areas in which they want to grow or reduce."

In keeping with AP's strategic vision to find innovative solutions that bring the firm closer to greater platform and technology independence, this expansion of the Advisor Dashboard gives the firm's affiliated financial advisors multiple ways to analyze their business and identify areas of growth, as well as problem areas that need to be addressed to ensure overall success. Everything is automated in a comprehensive, yet concise, manner-giving investment professionals back the time they spend manually reporting this vital information so they can focus on nurturing existing client relationships and forging new ones.

AP's Advisor Dashboard is built within HomePort, AP's Intranet environment that is tailored to each user's needs through single sign-on access (SSO), providing them with a streamlined user experience. HomePort's architecture brings together all of AP's proprietary technology-including STARS, the firm's main operations system through which all business and transactions are entered and recorded, and Portfolio Insight, the firm's custom-built advisory technology platform-as well as vendor-licensed programs and services, such as Albridge Wealth Reporting; NetX360, Pershing's digitally enabled wealth management platform; and CommWeb, a sales management software and performance measurement system through Xtiva Financial Systems. The platform features a diverse interface that includes every tool that an investment professional needs in order to run their practice and manage their clients' accounts, including, but not limited to, compliance, fixed income, general securities, insurance and product resources, as well as advisor-generated proposal reporting capabilities. It also includes a staging ground for an e-commerce environment, currently called "The Place," offering financial services business solutions to affiliated investment professionals, with models and strategies on the American Portfolios Advisory Services Platform, which is home to Nine Points Investment Management, under the firm's Registered Investment Advisory (RIA), American Portfolios Advisors, Inc.

JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / MARCH 31, 2020 / Bullying is a widespread problem in the United States. Some reports estimate that over one in four students between the ages of 12 and 18 have been bullying victims. Perhaps even more disturbing, however, is the fact that 30 percent of students have admitted to participating in bullying themselves.

The problem is a two-pronged issue. While victims tend to get most of the attention, other groups are starting to recognize the increasing importance of helping bullies change their harmful behaviors.

To that end, Compel America has recently teamed up with RocaBella Gives to achieve a more wide-ranging impact on bullying.

The Power Behind the Partnership

"The goal of the Compel America and RocaBella Gives partnership is to ensure that we are addressing everyone who is directly affected by bullying," explains Mike Kogan, ambassador relationships manager for Compel America.

"Our organization has been trying to flip the conversation around bullying for some time now by focusing on how bullies can change. This new partnership ultimately gives us even greater reach with a greater focus on victims as well."

For Cheryl Lee, founder of RocaBella Gives, this new partnership was a natural extension of her company's prior charity efforts. "Our charitable initiatives have always been focused on empowering people – especially women and children – by allowing them to express themselves. Whether through art exhibits or fashion shows, events that allow people to express themselves can serve as powerful confidence-builders and help people achieve more. This is just as applicable for those who have been bullied."

Because Compel America had been primarily focused on bullies and RocaBella Gives has a greater focus on the victims, a joint effort between the two organizations was a logical extension of their prior efforts.

Thus far, the two organizations have been hosting events together in which athletes and other celebrities are brought in to speak to audiences. These events address the bully and offer tools for changing their behaviors, while also helping victims build greater self-confidence.

"Regardless of whether we're presenting to a large group or meeting with people in a one on one setting, we want to take a very hands-on approach," Kogan says. "Presenting actionable advice on how individuals can change behavior will ultimately have a far greater impact than just talking about the problem in abstract terms."

The organizations' outreach is not limiting itself to schoolyard bullying, which is the stereotypical view most people focus on. Instead, the partnership aims to address a broader range of bullying issues that impact both children and adults, including cyberbullying, phone harassment, workplace bullying and abusive relationships.

In fact, one survey found that 31 percent of adults have experienced bullying, resulting in stress, anxiety, loss of confidence, and even depression, sleep loss and cardiovascular health problems. It is clear that taking a broader view of bullying is necessary, and the two organizations are committed to doing exactly that.

New Tech Tools On the Way

Studies estimate that roughly half of adolescents and teens have either been bullied online or have participated in cyber bullying, ranging from threats to having embarrassing or sexual photos of them shared online. Over half of teens don't inform their parents of bullying.

"With so many kids having their cell phones with them all the time, the potential for bullying increases dramatically," Lee notes. "This can be especially damaging because it can cause the victim to feel like they never have a chance to escape from the hurtful situations they're experiencing. The good news is that we're also looking at ways that we can use tech to flip the script on bullying."

A key part of the Compel America and RocaBella Gives partnership is the development of new tech specifically designed to help women and children who are being bullied. The idea behind the tool is that it will allow smartphone users to instantly initiate an audio and video session with the press of a button.

The idea is that this will provide an instant digital safety connection that could serve as a powerful deterrent to bullies and abusers. No one wants to have their worst behavior caught on camera. Video and audio recording could help defuse a potentially dangerous situation, or even provide much-needed evidence in a legal case.

As with the events being hosted by the two organizations, the end goal of this and other planned tech tools is ultimately to help both the victim and the bully.

"The victim is obviously helped because it protects them from a specific instance of bullying," Kogan says. "But we're also hopeful that this could help change a bully's mindset and get them to think twice about their behavior. Ideally, an external motivating factor that gets them to stop bullying others would then spur some internal thought and change that helps them find healthier outlets for their emotions."

Putting a Stop to Bullying

The fight against bullying will undoubtedly continue for quite some time. After all, technology creates both opportunities and challenges.

However, by making a concerted effort to help both bullies and victims, this new partnership between Compel America and RocaBella Gives is poised to make a noteworthy impact for the better in schools and workplaces across the country.

VICTORIA, REPUBLIC OF SEYCHELLES / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2020 / BISPEX, which opened its beta service on December 3rd, 2019, now opened its official service at 09:00 on March 30th, 2020 (UTC). BISPEX is focused mainly on cryptocurrency derivatives. Now the company launched its first derivatives with the perpetual swap trading. In order to secure liquidity and active trading, BISPEX will hold a 0% perpetual trading commission event for its grand opening.

If investors look at the current cryptocurrency market, it leaves people with a lot of sighs. In addition to the cryptocurrency market, there was a massive stock market crash that was said to be the biggest economic crisis after the Lehman Shock. In fact, there were so many new exchanges in the cryptocurrency market from the end of 2017 to the beginning of 2018 when the cryptocurrency hit its peak. With a lot of interest in cryptocurrency, there was a time when everybody with minimal technical skills thought that they could make a lot of money by establishing an exchange. However, But now, many (almost most) exchanges have disappeared, and only those exchanges that showed expertise and did their best for the convenience and profits of users survived. Obviously spot trading is also important, but how to know how much expertise exchanges have? What can be said clearly is that the exchange's understanding of finance can be considered. What come out here are derivatives. It is a reality that cryptocurrency no longer relies only on the spot trading, and many users are attracted to derivatives; that is, futures trading. In the future, it is likely that teams with high level of understanding of derivatives trading will survive. So here, BISPEX is the team to introduce today.

BISPEX is a cryptocurrency exchange based in the Republic of Seychelles and Singapore. In addition to spot trading, it offers perpetual swap trading that offers up to 100x leverage. The difference of this exchange from others is that many employees have experience in the financial industry, so they have a very high level of understanding of derivatives, and uses a state-of-the-art trading engine to monitor the trading 24 hours a day to avoid problems for the users.

"To meet the needs of users in the cryptocurrency market, stable spot trading and various derivatives are needed. BISPEX, which has a lot of financial experts, will lead the various cryptocurrency derivatives trading markets", said BISPEX CEO, Mike Kwon.

In addition, he plans to list two prominent coins sequentially in commemoration of the grand opening. BISPEX created by financial experts, we look forward to seeing its development in the cryptocurrency market.
