Quarterly Highlights-EDHEC-Princeton Retirement Goal-Based Investing Index Series
July 25, 2018--Quarterly highlights of the July 2018 EDHEC-Princeton Retirement Goal-Based Investing Index Series:
Goal Price Index Series
The 2038 Goal Price Index for an income goal with no cost-of-living-adjustment is 8.57: this means that as of July 2, 2018, it costs 8.57 US dollars to secure 1.00 US dollar of replacement income every year starting in January 2038 for a period of 20 years;
Since January 2018, index values have remained rather stable. US interest rates have slightly increased: the yield on 10-year Treasury securities was at 2.46% on January 2 and is now at 2.84% after a peak at 3.11% in May. Higher rates imply in principle lower index values (just like they imply lower bond prices), but the horizon effect, which implies higher index values as time goes by, has offset this effect.

CFTC Issues Proposal to Streamline Regulations for Swap Dealers, Help End Users
July 24, 2018--The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today issued a proposal approved unanimously by the Commission to reduce unnecessary burdens on registrants and market participants by simplifying overly complex notification provisions, thereby reducing certain intricate and prescriptive requirements that have been found to provide little or no benefit.
In the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Congress mandated that a swap dealer notify each counterparty that the counterparty has the right to choose whether to require their funds to be kept in a segregated account with an independent third party, separate from the assets and other interests of the swap dealer. The CFTC regulations 23.700 through 23.704 implemented this legislation (Section 4s(l) of the Commodity Exchange Act).
