If you are in the transportation industry, more specifically if you use independent contract drivers and are concerned about employee reclassification actions, we have several creative risk transfer solutions available. It is critical that Owner/Operators who are working for you as Independent Contractors not be deemed to be acting as employees. If they are, your company and your balance sheet are at risk. Why would an independent contractor seek employee status? The motivation to seek employee status can be any of a number of things. For Example: · If an owner /operator is involved in a serious accident and requires compensation greater than he can be awarded by Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability insurance, he will often seek to be considered an employee by the Workers’ Compensation board and gain access to the Motor Carrier’s Workers’ Compensation policy. · If a Motor Carrier has purchased Workers’ Compensation for owner/operators and is back-charging the premium to the drivers there are several problems with this model as can be noted in this New Jersey Case. When the Workers’ Compensation board, the courts, or any other legal entity recognize the independent owner/operator as an employee, they create a precedent that can be used to establish all other drivers in their role as employees. This can be a nightmare for a Motor Carrier and lead to: · Exposure of corporate Workers’ Compensation policy · Audit of their Workers’ Compensation policy · Federal …

www.subjectmoney.com http Alpha is an investment’s expected return that is in excess of the return induced by the broad market. Often a stock’s expected return is solved using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Alpha is the return above the expected return predicted by the CAPM. Since the CAPM solves for the expected return of a security, alpha can be considered the value that a portfolio manager ads to the portfolio through active management. Obviously actively managing a portfolio has costs associated with it therefore alpha must be greater than the cost needed to earn it. Alpha can be added as a component to the CAPM as shown below: E(r) = rf + beta(rm – rf) + alpha If the CAPM predicted the return of a stock to be 10% and the stock actually earned 13% then alpha would be 3%. A positive alpha means that the investment has outperformed the benchmark and a negative alpha indicates underperformance. Mutual Fund managers often use alpha as a measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis by comparing the fund’s risk-adjusted performance to that of a benchmark index. The returns that the mutual fund earns in excess of the index is the fund’s alpha. Alpha related to Beta Investors may be inclined to choose portfolio managers with the highest alpha, however they should compare the portfolio manager’s alpha with their beta. The higher the beta the higher the risk and therefore the higher the expected return. If a portfolio manager has a high alpha it could be because the …
