Global Relay, (http://www.globalrelay.com) the world leader in cloud-based message archiving, recently announced the release of Global Relay Search for iPad. This innovative new iPad app provides users of Global Relay Archive with advanced search capabilities to find and retrieve any type of archived message in seconds, regardless of their location using their iPad.

Tablets such as the iPad are revolutionizing the business computing landscape. With skyrocketing tablet adoption in companies of all sizes, iPad users need a way to quickly access their historical messaging data ? particularly as most iPads are not used as primary email devices. Global Relay Search for iPad brings the ease and convenience of an archive search app to the world?s most popular tablet computer.

Global Relay?s world-class team developed this iPad offering in-house, in order to offer iOS users a tablet-optimized version of the existing Global Relay Search for iPhone app. Global Relay Search for iPad offers a user experience that is customized for the iPad?s larger screen resolution, including to a two-column layout that displays search results alongside a single message view. Global Relay Search for iPad is currently the only message archive searching app of its kind available for the iPad. Unchanged from the iPhone version are the efficient battery usage and bandwidth consumption.

?We are extremely proud to introduce an intuitive, functional app for this magical device.? said Colin Quon, Head of Mobile Applications. ?Global Relay Search for iPad was developed to put any message right at customers? fingertips, regardless of where they are ? while maintaining tight security and control of their sensitive information.?

Global Relay Search for iPad is yet another name on the list of supported mobile devices that enable access to messages stored in Global Relay Archive ? the company?s Software-as-a-Service solution that assists firms in meeting compliance requirements for the recordkeeping and supervision of electronic messages

In addition to the iPad, Global Relay Search is also available for the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry. Global Relay Search circumvents the need to store confidential and sensitive corporate message data on devices, helping to mitigate security risks. Web access and a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook also provide users with additional options for search and retrieval of archived messages.

Global Relay Search for iPad is available now for free on the Apple App Store.

Strategic Assets Partners LLP (SAP) is a new unique financial services firm which introduces investors to investment opportunities in Real-Estate, Hedge Funds and Private Equity.

SAP has close relationships that allows a preferred access to mandates across the alternatives asset classes. The experience and technical derivatives knowledge of some of the key team members enables SAP to work with some of the leading investment banks to obtain suitable derivatives for its structures. “We also are actively working with two investment banks to structure real estate deals. We are starting to contact investors about hedge fund transactions. One of the real estate deals is around $ 1bn the others are around $ 300 – 500m. The hedge funds we’re working with are mostly around $ 800m AUM and are looking to raise between $ 50m and $ 1bn,” says Dr. Jeremy Penn, Head of Structuring.

Strategic Assets Partners LLP prides itself on its ability to structure products that seek to achieve the stated aims of investors and align closely to their risk profile. Their structures offer genuine innovation and focus on products offering protection on either yield or on capital preservation. “We offer a number of different levels of protection. Our tightest protection comes from derivatives written by well-established banks on the specific assets in the structure. We always ensure the client understand the level of protection offered.” SAP provides services to a wide range of investors. Its institutional investors include sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and insurance companies. The firm also works with ultra-high-net-worth individuals and their private family offices. “For such investors we take special care to ensure that our structures are fully understood, appropriate for the investor’s risk appetite and achieve the stated aims and objectives in a cost efficient way.”

At the moment, SAP is structuring significant parcels of real estate with derivatives linked to real-estate futures and/or currencies. This could include providing capital protection or yield protection. It could also be structured to give the performance of the asset but paid in an investor’s preferred currency, or to service cash flow requirements in another project or business. The company main focus for real estate is Manhattan, Chicago, Los Angeles, London and Paris. Their products are innovative combinations of hedge funds, real estate, private equity and infrastructure with appealing risk characteristics. “To price these deals correctly we breakdown the large parcels of real-estate into sub-components according to usage, condition and location within building and other attributes. We analyse the rental and sale value of similar nearby real estate and adjust for location differences. From this we construct and model a rental yield curve.” This is then used in the appropriate option pricing formulae. By structuring the derivative in a swap format SAP can provide yield protection. “At present there are no other firms offering products across all alternatives and including associated derivatives. Additionally SAP has preferred access to real estate and hedge fund mandates through existing relationships.”

IRA Financial Group, the leading facilitator of self directed IRA LLC solutions has seen a significant increase in the number of investors looking to copy Mitt Romney and use their retirement funds to fund private business investments on a tax-deferred basis. Mr. Romney has between $ 20.7 million and $ 101.6 million in tax-deferred retirement funds, a big chunk of his fortune. The advantage of Mr. Romney using his retirement funds to make his Bain Capital investments is that it allowed for all the income and gains to go back into the retirement account tax-free. Thus, Mr. Romney has been able to defer the tax on any investment gains and defer paying the tax until he elects to take a distribution or turn 701/2 years old. ?A large number of Americans have recently began looking at the self-directed IRA as a way of emulating Mr. Romeny?s tax-deferred investment strategy, ? stated Adam Bergman, a tax attorney with the IRA Financial Group.

A Self-Directed IRA, also called a Self-Directed IRA LLC with checkbook control, is an IRS approved structure that allows one to use their retirement funds to make real estate and other investments tax-free and without custodian consent. The Self Directed IRA rules involves the establishment of a limited liability company (?LLC?) that is owned by the IRA (care of the IRA custodian) and managed by you or any third-party. As manager of the IRA LLC, the IRA holder will have control over the IRA assets to make the investments he or she wants and understands.

With a self-directed IRA with checkbook control established through IRA Financial Group, an investor is able to use retirement funds to make private business investments, private equity, venture capital hedge fund, real estate, and many more investments on a tax-deferred basis. ?Using a self-directed IRA LLC, clients of the IRA Financial Group will have the opportunity to follow Mr. Romney?s investment strategy and make private business investments on a tax-deferred basis.

The IRA Financial Group was founded by a group of top law firm tax and ERISA lawyers who have worked at some of the largest law firms in the United States, such as White & Case LLP and Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP.

The Commercial Finance Association (CFA), together with nine other trade associations in the financial services industry, has submitted an amicus (friend of the court) brief to the United States Supreme Court in the case styled RadLAX Gateway Hotel, LLC, et al. v. Amalgamated Bank, Case No. 11-166.

The case involves the right of a secured lender to ?credit-bid? when its collateral is sold in the context of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. In RadLax, the Chapter 11 debtor sought to confirm, over the objection of its secured lender, a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization that contemplated an auction sale of the secured lender?s collateral but prohibited the secured lender from using its debt, rather than cash, to bid at the auction.

The brief argued that a secured lender?s right to credit-bid is a fundamental right, protected by the Bankruptcy Code and universally recognized under state law. As secured lenders have long relied on the right to credit-bid to protect themselves against potential undervaluation of their collateral in bankruptcy, allowing debtors to bar credit-bidding in the context of a Chapter 11 plan would increase the risk of undervaluation, and thus increase the cost and reduce the availability of secured credit.

“The right of a lender to credit-bid is a basic tenet of secured lending. It is gratifying to see CFA participating in an industry-wide effort to protect this right and advocating for its membership before the United States Supreme Court,” said Jonathan Helfat, CFA Co-General Counsel and partner at Otterbourg, Steindler, Houston and Rosen, PC.

According to Richard M. Kohn, also CFA Co-General Counsel and principal of Goldberg Kohn, Ltd., “It was truly a pleasure to participate in this joint effort by many of the nation’s leading financial services trade associations.” The other trade associations who joined in the brief were The Loan Syndications and Trading Association, The American Bankers Association, The Clearing House Association, The Commercial Real Estate Finance Council, The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association, The Financial Services Roundtable, The Managed Funds Association, The Mortgage Bankers Association and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.

500friends, Inc., the market-leading social loyalty solution for e-commerce retailers, today announced it has completed a $ 4.5M Series A financing led by Crosslink Capital, with participation from Intel Capital and several members of the company?s executive team. The funds will be used to further establish the company’s dominance in social loyalty by solidifying platform functionality, growing sales and marketing, and building out a world-class client success organization. Eric Chin, General Partner with Crosslink Capital, has joined 500friends? Board of Directors in conjunction with this financing.

500friends was founded in 2010 by high school drop-out-turned serial entrepreneur Justin Yoshimura to solve a problem he faced at his previous e-commerce companies. While analytics, email marketing, user-generated content and shopping cart solutions were all readily available for emerging commerce plays, for retailers wanting to increase customer loyalty, there were very few options in the marketplace. This void, combined with the explosion in social networking was the driving force behind the founding of 500friends. Justin, along with veteran e-commerce experts recruited from Buy.com, eBillme, RichRelevance, StrongMail, PopularMedia, Digitas, IAC/InterActive Corp, Accertify, and Webloyalty, developed 500friends’ white-label social loyalty platform, LoyaltyPlus ?, which provides leading retailers with the tools and analytics to recognize and reward the customer behaviors that matter most to their brand, including writing reviews, referring friends, sharing products on Facebook or Twitter, and frequent purchasing.
