Managing Risks in todays Environment
Part of managing risk is ensuring good communications with your people. If your organization needs to deal with a critical issue, staff will have some idea a problem exists just by watching management body language. Avoid making things worse by letting the rumour mill take over.

The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania helps Bail out the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) with a USD 56million Loan
The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania has joined a syndicate of local banks and pension funds to lend USD 238million to Tanesco, the parastatal electricity company, wholly owned by the Tanzanian government, money which will be used to pay off debts to suppliers and invest in new equipment. The National Microfinance Bank was founded in 1997, and is the third most profitable bank in Tanzania, holding USD 430million in deposits and assets. The loan to Tanesco supports NMB’s business interests, as well as those of its customers, as it organises collection services for the electricity firm via its network. Currently the Tanzanian government owns 51% of the bank, having sold off the remainder of its stake in 2005. The loan syndicate involved in the bail out includes five banks and four pension funds all from Tanzania.

Exit Strategies
Planning on selling up soon? How many times have you heard business people say "my business is my pension"? Unfortunately, too frequently, and unfortunately too many find that their pension isn't worth what they believe it to be.
The Next Crisis In The Perfect Storm – Unfunded Retirement Accounts

Steps to take to finance our own retirement due to the current pension deficit
Is the current pension crisis worrying you as to how you will cope financially when you retire? Occupational and private pensions have sadly not performed very well due to the current financial crisis and the state pension isn’t faring any better. By 2048 the retirement age will actually increase to 68. Not a great prospect for those of us already unhappy in our work. Here are some steps that can be taken to ease the burden and to help create some financial security for ourselves.

Wealth Planning: Offense vs. Defense
This area of wealth planning is by far the most misunderstood and ignored. The personal finance industry which is so completely dominated by its focus on mutual funds has distracted the masses by having them focus on mutual fund rates of returns, dollar cost averaging, and other topics that get us to continue to just blindly, month after month, throw more and more money into their funds. The mutual fund industry would have you believe that as long as you put money away each month and pick the “top rated” funds everything will be great.
Another Reason REI Beats Paper Assets
In this article I want to discuss something called the “Preferred List”. This is a list of the funds that a brokerage recommends to their clients. It is the selection of funds that their research has determined are the absolute best in the industry for the firm’s clients. Sadly, in a lot of cases this list is made up of fund families that paid some sort of extra consideration to be on the list. It’s also interesting how often the firm’s proprietary funds end up on that list. Hence, if you are a client of Merrill Lynch, let’s say, you will typically see quite a few Merrill Lynch funds on that list. This is a simple case of allowing how much you get paid to drive your decisions on what funds to recommend.
