BOSTON, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NDVR, a tech-forward wealth management firm serving advisors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals, announced today that it has launched a new version of the NDVR Portfolio Lab™ that dramatically improves advisor efficiency and client expected outcomes.

The updated Portfolio Lab is a significant step forward in the asset management industry, enabling the creation of a hyper-personalized investment strategy and asset allocation for each client, while optimizing for their unique (and ever-evolving) circumstances, goals, and requirements with outcome forecasting – all at a scale not previously possible. Most importantly, though, this work can all be done in a matter of minutes rather than the hours or even days it has historically taken advisors.

“We assembled a team of Ph.D.s, financial service veterans, and tech innovators to make the advanced portfolio construction capabilities of a sophisticated family office available to every advisor serving any size of client,” said NDVR CEO and Founder Michael Simon. “Our goal is to empower advisors to improve expected outcomes for their clients and build longer-lasting relationships by putting individuals and family offices in the best possible position to achieve their financial goals.”

The new household wealth optimization features the ability to:

Create hyper-personalized portfolios using multiple asset classes and brokerage accounts, including taxable, Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, trusts, etc.Optimize and automate distributions from tax-advantaged accountsProvide actionable insights from “what-if” analysesDeploy portfolios for automated management with the click of a button

Household wealth optimization builds upon NDVR’s existing robust portfolio construction, management, and reporting which reduce the administrative complexity of managing households while also enabling financial advisors, RIAs, and family offices to seamlessly integrate the solution across all accounts, regardless of where they are held.

“We’re proud to have built a portfolio optimization platform that gives advisors access to intelligent solutions not previously available to retail investors,” said NDVR Chief Research Officer Stephanie Lo, Ph.D. “These institutional-grade strategies, backed by rigorous analysis and research, are the foundation of helping us build better portfolios for our clients.”

NDVR’s suite of core investment strategies, powered by the purchase of individual securities rather than ETFs or mutual funds, delivers intelligent, tax-efficient investment solutions not historically available to retail investors – all in one click.

NDVR strategies offer:

Custom indexing with active factors and tax-efficiencyHigher targeted portfolio returns with liquid alternativesDynamic planned withdrawal protectionEnhanced, tax-advantaged fixed income solutions

“The NDVR Portfolio Lab enables an advisor to recommend a unified household portfolio across multiple accounts and account types, including held-away assets, which is optimized to every client’s unique goals and objectives – not just clients who are very high net worth,” said Michael Hackman, president and managing principal at Hackman Financial Group. “Implementing a household portfolio allocation that uses sophisticated and personalized investment strategies is just a click of a button, rather than hours of investment implementation and monitoring.”

Advisor and RIA clients can now have access to portfolios that offer opportunities for enhanced growth and security to traditional strategies while taking advantage of advanced fee and tax optimization to keep more of their money in their pockets. The NDVR Portfolio Lab provides better insights into their financial possibilities and gives them confidence in their financial future.

Orange County Fire Authority in California Selects MSA Safety’s G1 Breathing Apparatus to Help Protect Firefighters

Published

on

By

PITTSBURGH, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global safety equipment manufacturer MSA Safety, Inc. (NYSE: MSA) today announced it has secured a $10 million contract to provide respiratory protective equipment to the Orange County Fire Authority in Southern California. With this order, MSA continues to strengthen its breathing apparatus market presence in the Southern California region. Over the past two years, MSA Safety has secured similar breathing apparatus contracts with both the Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles City Fire Departments. 

The decision to upgrade Orange County Fire Authority’s self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) technology was made after a comprehensive evaluation process. Factors that influenced the department’s selection of the G1 SCBA were its advanced technology and connectivity features, as well as the ability to upgrade the breathing apparatus with new technologies as they become available.

With 15 U.S. patents, the G1 SCBA is the centerpiece of the MSA Connected Firefighter platform – a suite of safety technologies that work in concert to significantly improve firefighter monitoring, accountability and communication. The SCBA utilizes embedded technology to transmit important data, including cylinder air pressure, battery status and various alarm indicators, to incident commanders via MSA’s FireGrid® system. The FireGrid system is a software service that gives incident commanders the ability to evaluate and manage on-scene fire crews in real time.

“When it comes to protecting first responders, our vision at MSA Safety is to provide fire departments with the most advanced and versatile safety solutions available today,” said Bob Apel, MSA Safety Executive Director, Global Fire Service and Digital Experience. “Our G1 breathing apparatus is a fitting example of that vision. The platform provides ongoing value to fire departments because it enables us to continuously add new technologies to the SCBA that enhance firefighter health and safety. That vision is consistent with our growth strategy to be the leading innovator in head-to-toe protection for the fire service.”

Also included among the G1 SCBA’s advanced features is an integrated thermal imaging camera (iTIC). The iTIC places thermal imaging capability into the hands of individual firefighters, as opposed to sharing a handheld device among multiple firefighters. The camera is part of the SCBA control module that houses a video screen and other electronics that enable many G1 features.

Founded in 1995, the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) is a regional fire service agency that serves 23 cities and all unincorporated areas within Orange County. With 78 fire stations, the OCFA protects nearly two million residents. It is a premier public safety agency providing superior fire protection and medical emergency services to its communities.

“We are incredibly proud to establish this new partnership with the Orange County Fire Authority,” said Joann Serakowski, MSA Safety Vice President, Fire Service – U.S. and Canada. “Most importantly, we’re honored the department has entrusted MSA with the responsibility of protecting the men and women who help keep the residents of Orange County safe each day.”

Delivery of the new SCBA units is expected to be completed in 2025.

By

BEIJING, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NaaS Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: NAAS) (“NaaS” or the “Company”), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, today announces that the previously announced change of the ratio (the “ADS Ratio”) of its American depositary shares (the “ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares has taken effect at the open of business on April 28, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time) (“Effective Date”).

The change in the ADS Ratio, from one ADS to 200 Class A ordinary shares to one ADS to 800 Class A ordinary shares, had the same effect as a one-for-four reverse ADS split. The exchange of one new ADS for every 4 previously-held ADSs occurred automatically upon effectiveness, with the previously-held ADSs cancelled and the new ADSs issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depositary bank for the Company’s ADS program.

As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be proportionally equal to or greater than 4 times the ADS trading price before the change.
