Personal Capital Review 2020

October 14, 2020 dhita yudha

First of all, we must note that Personal Capital does not want to be classified as a robo-advisory and would prefer to be considered a digital asset management service that also includes personalized advice from financial planners. That said, the company was one of the first to put tools in investor’s hands and automate elements of portfolio management. Personal Capital is our top choice for portfolio management due to the way the firm’s advanced technology effectively manages risk and taxes.

New and Notable:

Personal Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Empower Retirement, a retirement services provider, as of August 2020.
The Recession Simulator, which allows Americans to illustrate the effect historical recessions would have had on their investments, was introduced in June 2020.

TOKYO – September 22, 2020 – ( Newswire.com )

Taiko Aichi Capital, a private wealth management company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, has today commented on China’s ByteDance Ltd as it pursues a valuation of $60 billion for TikTok, with Oracle Corp and Walmart Inc also taking stakes in the short-video app’s business to resolve U.S. security concerns.

Anthony Green, Taiko Aichi Capital’s Head of Capital Markets, commented: “In order to comply with U.S. national security requirements, Oracle confirmed it will take a 12.5% stake in TikTok Global and store all its U.S. user data in its cloud. Retail giant Walmart will also take a 7.5% stake.”

The two companies will pay a collective $12 billion for their stakes if they agree on a $60 billion asking price, according to analysts

Capital One just bought my favorite flight insurance program ‘Freebird’

MSN has partnered with The Points Guy for our coverage of credit card products. MSN and The Points Guy may receive a commission from card issuers.

Last summer, my sister ended up with a $1,200 Delta First class ticket for the low cost of $19 because I paid for Freebird flight protection. I absolutely loved the protection the service offered for domestic itineraries and usually bought it for every low-cost carrier flight.

However, earlier this year with coronavirus wrecking havoc on the aviation industry, Freebird stopped offering its protection to the public as its business model was no longer sustainable with such unpredictability. That certainly doesn’t mean its technology is worthless and Capital One obviously thinks the same thing.

Earlier this week, Skift reported that Capital One acquired Freebird’s flight disruption technology and most of its staff are now working for Capital One.

Last year, Capital One added Amazon’s “Shop with Points” program as a redemption option on several of its credit cards. You’re typically better off redeeming Capital One miles for travel or cash back, but if you’re targeted for this current offer, you can save $20 on a purchase of $80 or more when using your Capital One miles or cash back at Amazon anytime between now and December 31.

Capital One has announced that it’s cutting credit limits for some of its cardholders. While credit card companies generally avoid doing this, they are legally allowed to cut credit limits at their discretion, and it’s common during economic downturns. The high unemployment rate and expiration of the additional $600 per week in unemployment benefits were likely major factors in Capital One’s decision.

Load Error

Credit card companies aren’t legally required to notify you before cutting your credit limit, unless the change was due to adverse information on your credit report. Since that doesn’t apply here, it’s important to know how you can find out on your own.
