A quarter of family offices surveyed reported suffering a cyberattack in 2023, up from 17% in 2020. With their large wealth and small staffs, family offices have become lucrative targets for hackers and cybercriminals, experts say. Since family offices value efficiency and speed over risk management, he said, today's family offices often don't have adequate technology and planning in place for possible cyberattacks. Less than a third of family offices say their cyber risk management processes are well-developed, according to the survey. Marshall said family offices need to take a more proactive stance on overall assessment that goes beyond cyberattacks.

As a public-speaking coach who has worked with many executives and senior teams, I know how to make work presentations more engaging. AdvertisementInstead, try to capture their attentionBegin your presentation with a hook or a story — something that grabs their attention right from the start. You could also try to form a personal connectionOften, presentations lack a personal touch. This not only makes your work presentation more relatable but also helps to establish a deeper connection with your audience. AdvertisementTry to encourage interactionAt the very least, you should try to engage your audience from the beginning — whether in person or on virtual calls.

To give you an idea of how big that is, a typical financial book will sell roughly 5,000 copies. Now Housel is back with a second book, "Same As Ever: Timeless Lesson on Wealth, Greed and Happiness." Housel cites Charlie Munger, who noted that the world isn't driven by greed, it's driven by envy. Today's economy is good at generating three things: wealth, the ability to show off wealth, and great envy for other people's wealth."

Last summer, two data centers in London experienced heatwave-linked failures, with the incident affecting clinical IT systems at a number of hospitals. Data centers have become "a very important aspect of running entire business models, and even our day-to-day lives. Losing the information processed by data centers would be detrimental not only to companies and individuals, but also governments and society as a whole. This puts the firms that develop and operate data centers in a tricky position, not least because today's facilities are resource hungry. Companies can deploy a range of innovations to put these metrics at the core of tomorrow's data centers.

British annual consumer price inflation fell to a lower than expected 7.9% in June, below a forecast for a decline to 8.2%. June's rate was a long way off last October's 41-year high of 11.1%, but far above the BoE's 2% target rate. "Some good news on UK inflation at last, coming in below expectations for June and most importantly the core inflation rate fell more than thought," Neil Birrell, who is chief investment officer at Premier Miton Investors, said. British finance minister Jeremy Hunt said there was still a long way to go to reduce inflation towards target. Meanwhile, interest-rate derivatives showed traders no longer believe UK rates will have to rise above 6% to temper inflation.

June 7 (Reuters) - Chad Rigetti, the founder of Rigetti Computing (RGTI.O), joined quantum technology-focused fund QDNL Participations as a partner, the venture capital firm said on Wednesday. Rigetti Computing started trading on Nasdaq in March 2022 after a merger with a blank-check company. Rigetti left the quantum computing firm backed by Y Combinator and Andreessen Horowitz late last year. Backed by Europe-based Quantum Delta NL foundation, QDNL Participations is a 15 million euro ($16.02 million) fund for early-stage Dutch quantum technology start-ups. Still, it is uncertain when these machines would be ready despite billions being poured into the technology, with big tech companies such as Alphabet (GOOGL.O), IBM (IBM.N) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) betting on this future computing technology.

RittalConversational artificial intelligence that can be used to communicate with equipment and generate machine parts. These are just a few of the technologies that will power the factories of the future, according to technologists and industry experts who spoke with CNBC. Floyd said that Google is already working to achieve this with natural language processing capabilities in its AI tools. "In the future, there is potential to generate content from and for many types of manufacturing equipment, ranging from specific repair instructions to software code that is tailored to a specific asset." Many manufacturers see potential in the "industrial metaverse," a version of the metaverse tailored to the manufacturing, construction and engineering industries.
Some are turning to startups who are pivoting to using powerful chips to run quantum-inspired software on regular computers as they bide their time. In the past 18 months, quantum software startups including SandBoxAQ - an Alphabet spinoff - raised about $1 billion, according to data firm PitchBook. Ultimately, the software inspired by quantum physics won't perform well on quantum computers without some changes, said William Hurley, boss of Austin-based quantum software startup Strangeworks. Still, he said companies that start using them will have engineers "learning about quantum and the phenomenon and the process, which will better prepare them to use quantum computers at the point that they do so." Strangeworks, which also operates a cloud with over 60 quantum computers on it, raised $24 million last month from investors including IBM (IBM.N).
Today's financial system is growing, transforming, and increasingly focused on the adoption of digital assets. Shawn Douglas, cofounder and CEO of Amberdata, said that, "Digital assets are the "financialization of the internet," citing blockchain to safeguard real-world assets and, in digital rights management (like NFTs) as examples. CEO of Custodia Bank, Caitlin Long, believes the role of digital assets exists in the payments world. There are, of course, challenges to adopting digital assets including concerns about centralized banks and government agencies. Throughout the conversation, Hirsch remained focused on the potential digital assets have to enable greater freedom globally.
Gold pauses rally as traders seek clarity on banking crisis

Gold retreated on Thursday from a safe-haven-driven rally, which sent prices to their highest since early-February, as traders sought more clarity on the financial sector after Credit Suisse became the latest focal point for fears of a banking crisis. Spot gold was down 0.3% at $1,912.48 per ounce, as of 0328 GMT, after rising more than 1% on Wednesday. Swiss regulators pledged a liquidity lifeline to Credit Suisse in an unprecedented move by a central bank. Gold competes with the dollar as a safe store of value, and gains in the currency make bullion less attractive for overseas buyers. Spot silver slipped 0.4% to $21.71 per ounce, platinum was 0.3% lower at $959.52, while palladium gained 1.3% at $1,465.91.
OAKLAND, Calif., Feb 14 (Reuters) - Sandbox AQ, a startup spun off from Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) last year, said on Tuesday it raised $500 million as it helps customers prepare for a quantum computing future. Quantum computers, whose processors run based on quantum physics, could one day carry out certain calculations millions of times quicker than today's fastest super computers, yet they remain years away from making a big change, such as breaking encryption. The simulation does not currently need quantum computers to work, said Hidary. When quantum computers are ready, that work would speed up even further. Sandbox AQ is also using existing types of sensors based on quantum physics.
The rise of pay transparency laws in the United States could change how the nation's workers negotiate their annual salaries in today's fast-changing labor market. As layoffs mount in the face of recession fears, the increased number of job seekers will be seeing more positions in states that mandate pay ranges be publicly listed. The rise of these pay transparency laws could boost wages for minorities and women, who may be paid less than their peers. Nuances of rising pay transparency were highlighted in a report Pakzad-Hurson co-authored in the National Bureau of Economic Research. Watch the video above to learn more about the rise and potential implications of pay transparency.
Companies Nuscale Power Corp FollowWASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. nuclear power regulator has certified the design for the NuScale Power Corp's (SMR.N) small modular reactor, the first such approval in the country for the next generation technology. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's approval, published in the Federal Register late on Thursday, clears a hurdle for NuScale. The company plans to build a demonstration small modular reactor (SMR) power plant at the Idaho National Laboratory. The U.S. Department of Energy has provided more than $600 million since 2014 to support the design, licensing and siting of NuScale's power plant and other small modular reactors. "SMRs are no longer an abstract concept," said Kathryn Huff, assistant secretary for nuclear energy at the Energy Department.

And while this shouldn't bother banks — they make plenty of money doing what they do best — this is Wall Street. In fact, the face of Wall Street, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, literally declared war on fintechs on an earnings call in 2021. But, as Insider's Bianca Chan and Reed Alexander recently outlined in a fantastic feature, banks' bid to topple fintechs is hopeless. Whether it's JPMorgan's digital-only bank Finn or, more recently, Goldman Sachs' Marcus, banks' attempt to cosplay as fintechs rarely ends well.

Family offices more than doubled their direct investments in startups last year to more than $120 billion, remaking the venture-capital landscape and launching a new wave of family-office funded entrepreneurs. Single family offices invested $123 billion in direct venture capital deals last year, up from $55 billion in 2020, according to a report from SVB Capital. There are now more than 10,000 family offices worldwide — most created over the past decade — with over $6 trillion in assets under management. In-house deal teams "Family offices are leaning in to the venture asset class," said Shailesh Sachdeva, managing director of SVB Capital's Family Office practice. As they balloon in size and sophistication, family offices are becoming deal powerhouses in their own right.
