It hit me why this market feels uneasy lately. Public markets and speculative assets like Bitcoin are soaring, while private equity activity and many private and even public valuations are very subdued. This disconnect is unsettling: if a correction hits the top of the market, will private equity get dragged down even further? Or will public market strength buoy private equity? Time will reveal the outcome, but it's worth noting the outlook is glass half full - public markets most often foreshadow private equity trends.

In the aftermath of the March 2024 failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and the acquisition of First Republic by J.P. Morgan in May, I've become increasingly intrigued with proxy statement disclosures regarding compensation metrics and risk. As a board director, it's essential to examine how compensation is helping organizations move forward positively to create stakeholder value. JPMorgan's compensation packages, for example, incorporate profit metrics such as managed revenue, pre-tax income, net income, and ROTCE in addition to risk metrics like a capital ratio hurdle. The disclosure that the JPM Compensation Management Development Committee meets annually with the Risk Committee to review compensation also caught my eye! Essential Compensation Questions Board Directors Can Ask Senior Executives 1. How does the firm integrate risk, controls and conduct considerations into key HR practices including performance development, compensation and promotion? 2. Are compensation features and elements designed to discourage imprudent risk-taking (e.g., multi-year vesting, claw backs, prohibition on hedging, etc. ? 3. What critical regulatory updates have impacted or may impact HR practices in the future? Board Self Evaluation Question How often is the Compensation Committee meeting with the Risk, and or Audit Committee? #riskmanagement #incentives #governance #oversight #lessonslearned

📢 My latest for ImpactAlpha: How hospitals & CDFIs are advancing social determinants of health. 🏥 Nonprofit hospitals are investing in social factors like 🏠 housing, 🥦 nutrition, and 💼 jobs to improve health outcomes & reduce costs. With only 10-20% of health results tied to clinical care, partnerships with CDFIs and CRA investors help hospitals meet community needs effectively. 📜 The Affordable Care Act requires hospitals to allocate funds to “community benefits” like affordable housing & workforce development. By partnering with CDFIs, they can make low-cost, high-impact investments that meet regulatory needs and drive local impact. 🌍 🔑 Solutions like cash deposits or direct investments with CDFIs and products like CNote's Impact Cash or Calvert Impact 's Community Investment Note make it easy for hospitals to support community projects while diversifying holdings. i'm thinking and writing a lot about how allocators can be more intentional impact and systems level investors. If these ideas resonate with you, please reach out. #ImpactInvesting #CommunityHealth #SocialDeterminants #HealthcareInnovation https://lnkd.in/gHmGXzsw

What does the future hold for retail medicine and virtual care? Walmart is the latest to announce their health center closure. https://lnkd.in/geZpMTkS. This following Optum news, VillageMD closing in Nevada, Teladoc Health problems, etc. What comes next? This is another in a long line of examples that technology and even consumer willingness are not enough when the reimbursement environment does not support particular care models. Are we getting ready to lose all the lessons painfully learned during the pandemic? Or will new virtual care models emerge following this round of closures?

Walmart Exits Healthcare Market: RPM Steps Up to Fill the Gap... Walmart's departure from the healthcare market, including its virtual health care services, will leave a void in care services for underserved communities. While hospitals and primary care providers (PCPs) remain the backbone of our healthcare ecosystem, their resilience is rooted in the trust relationships they've built with patients. This trust is a cornerstone of effective care, and RPM can help hospitals and PCPs extend their reach. RPM uses digital technologies to monitor patients' vital signs, health data, and other relevant information remotely, enabling healthcare providers to deliver timely interventions and preventive care. By leveraging RPM, we can: - Increase access to care for underserved communities - Detect health issues early, preventing complications - Deliver personalized care plans - Reduce healthcare costs - Empower patients to take a more active role in their healthcare As we move forward, RPM can help address the disparities in healthcare access and ensure that everyone has access to quality care, regardless of their zip code or background. Let's harness the power of RPM to create a more equitable and accessible healthcare ecosystem! #RemotePatientMonitoring #Telehealth #DigitalHealth #HealthcareAccess https://lnkd.in/eD7CcaEm
