Virtual Management Systems, a benefits technology firm that supplies web portals for agents and insurance companies to provide to their employers, launched its Version 2.0 to agents, insurance carriers and employers.
The 2013 Benefits Selling Expo in San Diego included a Sunday night reception to mark the 10th anniversary of the magazine. The event was attended by some of Benefits Selling's longest-standing contributors and advertisers.
The massive New York state public pension fund has filed a suit against a high-tech firm, hoping to reveal information on the company's political expenditures.
Fines and disciplinary actions issued by FINRA are on track to be worse than 2011, with nearly $40 million in fines already issued in the last six months.
After a computer mishap led to a $440 million loss at Knight Capital Group, the SEC is speeding efforts to require exchanges to place safeguards on their systems.
The way to prevent more Madoff-type looting is for professionals to regulate their own industry, the congressman writes.
