Derek Horstmeyer, professor of finance and co-founder and director of the George Mason University Student Managed Investment Fund, says, “Investors whose top concern is minimizing taxes often turn to 'tax managed'—or 'tax efficient'—mutual funds. But the returns they get may not be worth the tax savings." http://ow.ly/z10u50D8I7p
We crunched the numbers. The upshot: The returns may not be worth the tax savings.

Dean Maury Peiperl says that culture can make a significant difference not only in how a business responds to a crisis, but whether it considers a situation to be a crisis in the first place. http://ow.ly/Bcwl50CZuhy

According to the Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship, a mass timber building is safer, cheaper and less labor-intensive than traditional steel or concrete.
