Speaker 1: of assets, including crypto assets. Danielle, thank you so much

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: for being with us. UM. In an interview last month,

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: you said, for us, it is abundantly clear that we

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: are in the midst of a true financial revolution. You're

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: referring to cryptocurrencies. What makes you so confident about that? Yes,

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: good a good morning, and thanks very much for having

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: me back. UM. The distributed ledger technology that's being pioneered

19
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: by in development surrounding bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is really

20
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: the democratization of transactions in the same way as when

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: the Internet appeared, we saw the news and information traveling

22
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: around without the necessity for big organizations centers for distribution

23
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: of that information. So blockchains, bitcoin and other such crypto

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: assets are democracyizing the transactional interaction between individuals. That's at

25
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: the core of what makes us a revolution. Can you

26
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: tell us what is How do you describe coin shares?

27
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: What what does coin shore is do for for customers?

28
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Coin Shares is a nascent digital investment bank. Many of

29
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: the things we do are an analog and parallel to

30
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: what happens in the legacy financial services industry. So we

31
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: provide investment entry points for people to come into crypto

32
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: assets without having to own them directly, and we take

33
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: care of that hedging and replication. We provide services to

34
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: people within the crypto community, and this is you know,

35
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: at the peaks of the December prices approaching a trillion

36
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: dollar ecosystem. We provide a treasury and assets and liability

37
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: management type of services, hedging services, and some advisory. We

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: also deploy proprietary capital within that ecosystem, funding these small

39
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: companies and participating in some of the initial coin offering

40
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: type of activity that I'm sure you're aware of. Okay,

41
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: The reason I want just to set that in some

42
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: contexts is because my next thought it has to do

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: with what's known as leakage. Right, this is the lead

44
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: the financial the rather the fractional reserve banking system, and

45
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: the leverage that you have in that system is the

46
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: use of cryptocurrencies. Is this causing a leakage in that leverage? Well,

47
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: that's a great question, and you know, I mean, I

48
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: think what is clear is that there was a kind

49
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: of a regulatory sandbox in which digital assets of all

50
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: kinds existed all the way from back when we started

51
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: in right through the third or fourth quarter of last year.

52
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: You know, when when an ecosystem is a billion or

53
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: five billion or ten billion, it's almost experimental in the

54
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: scope of the main financial system. But you know, once

55
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: you start rapidly approaching a trillion, and with the associated

56
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: media hype around it, this all of a sudden became

57
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: something that regulators, banks, authorities of various kinds of central

58
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: bank governments decided that it could no longer be ignored. So,

59
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think there's any concern from that

60
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: community at the moment that there's lead kids, as you

61
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: put it, but I think they're beginning to realize that

62
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: there is potential for that in the future. I've never

63
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: thought that it would be a sort of a fight

64
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: to the death between you know, crypto and and the

65
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the dollar or the pound or the legacy financial system.

66
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: To me, it's always been a question of what portion

67
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: of the total financial ecosystem a cruise to cryptocurrencies. And

68
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I think, you know, even if it's only five at

69
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that market will then still

70
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: be much bigger than this right now, Danny, how much

71
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: of the eight million dollars that you manage, how much

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: is in crypto assets? All of it? All of it? Okay?

73
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: So how do you go about determining how to invest

74
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: that money? I mean, is you just sort of invest

75
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: in bitcoin or sort of? Oh? No, we do a

76
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: range of things. So, first of all, the largest bulk

77
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: of our assets are from one of our companies we

78
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: own called xpt Provider. An xpt Provider provides bitcoin and

79
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: the etherorium certificate, the track the price of those assets

80
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: on Nastack nastack coaxin Stockholm. That is by far our

81
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: our largest product pool, and let's call that a passive strategy.

82
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Then we have active strategies. And the active strategies are

83
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: essentially funds of various kinds. Um. We currently have two

84
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: hour soon to be four, and um, you know, I

85
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: can describe them generically as multi currency multi strategy in

86
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: one bucket and index based in another bucket. So in

87
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: the in the in the the interesting part is the

88
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: active funds, the multi strap multi coin funds, and there

89
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: will do anything from protocol coins so the mainstream bitcoin,

90
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: etherorium z cash, from narrow uh you name it down

91
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to you know, small boutique niche type of initial coin

92
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: offerings and everything in the middle. So how do you

93
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: just in just real quick, how do you prevent fraud? Uh? Well,

94
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: we have a very very a very very detailed screening system. Um.

95
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: The there are pros and cons to digital finance, and

96
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, one of the cons is chaos. Um, one

97
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: of the pros is in that chaos, there is some

98
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: rich information. It's almost as though, you know the concept

99
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: of stock analysts stocks analyzing stocks has gone back to

100
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: where it was before. We have perfect information. So we

101
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: have a multi stage screening process. I would say of

102
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: the small initial coin offering type of things we get

103
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: coming across our desk. Fewer than three percent make it

104
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: through that filter. So there is a process to it,

105
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: and and that's what we have to go through in

106
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: order to get comfortable. I want to thank you very

107
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: much for joining us. Daniel Master's chief investment officer for

108
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Global Advisors. He is also the chairman of coin Shares,

109
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: a group Global Advisors on a seventy interest in a

110
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: coin shares. I want to bring in Ira Jersey, or

111
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: interest rate strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence. Uh, Ira, what if

112
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: you could comment on Richard Clarenda, the number two pick

113
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: for the Federal Reserve. He is um a respected economist

114
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: at Columbia University, professor and also a lot of experience

115
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: in the world of markets asset manager at pimco UM.

116
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: What if you could tell us what are your thoughts

117
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: about Mr Clarenda and what do you think he's going

118
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: to bring to the Federal Reserve. Yeah, so I think

119
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: Mr claren is a mainstream pick. Uh just like quite frankly,

120
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: like J. Powell wasn't even even Governor Quarrels, who's right

121
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: in front of the House Financial Services Committee as as

122
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: we speak. Um. You know, Donald Trump has has not

123
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: gone outside the box. So he's done a lot of

124
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: other things that are outside the box with who he

125
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: picked for some cabinet posts and the like, but when

126
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: it comes to the Fed, um uh, the FED governors,

127
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: he's really been more or less mainstream. Certainly, you know,

128
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: he had certain litmus tests that things like, you know,

129
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: people who are for modesty regulation and even quarrels. Today,

130
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: in his prepared remarks is saying that he uh um,

131
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: that he favors most of the basis of of the

132
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: post crisis of financial regulations, but that he wants to

133
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, scale scale some of them back. And I

134
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: think most people would see that that that's probably not

135
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: a bad thing for the economy or or markets in general.

136
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: And Richard Clarenda is just within that same kind of mold.

137
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: So iro this is FED Speak week. They're about four

138
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: hundred thousand speeches by different FED officials this week, more

139
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: or less roughly. Um. One of them caught my attention,

140
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: John Williams, speaking in Madrid, uh just a bit ago,

141
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: addressing the flattening US yield curve, saying so far it's normal. Uh.

142
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: That said, he said if the yield curve were to invert,

143
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: they would take it seriously and it would be a

144
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: sign of a recession. What do you make of that,

145
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: given the fact that the gap between ten and two

146
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: year yields right now is that it's narrowest since two

147
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: thousand seven and steadily narrowing a short term rates rise. Yeah,

148
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: and we think we'll continue to narrow further. We actually

149
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: think another fifteen basis points are so in the two's

150
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: tens treasury curve for the for the course of the year. Um.

151
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: So you know that we we we don't have a

152
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: lot of experience with this. You know, we have to

153
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: take into account that we've only had, you know, a

154
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: limited number of recessions over the past fifty years, and

155
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: and in more than half of them we certainly saw

156
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: when yield curves got to got to zero or or

157
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: inverted that at some point in the future you had

158
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: you had a recession. But but those legs tend to

159
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: take a very long time, So I don't think it's

160
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion. I think what what it tends to

161
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: happen is the yield curve gets too flat, but the

162
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: fed continues to hike after that and when they continue

163
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: to hike after that, they basically, um, they basically clamp

164
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: down too far in financial conditions, interest rates, the whole

165
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: entire yield curves goes up too far, and that's when

166
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: you end up getting recession. Now, can they can they

167
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: stop that this time? They They probably can. And one

168
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: of the ways that they can do that is as

169
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: you approach that zero, stop hiking, right, just just let

170
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: the market be for a while. See if the yield

171
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: curve starts to steep in a little bit, which implies

172
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: that you're going to have faster inflation in the future

173
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: and better growth in the future as opposed to you know,

174
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: continuing to hike to kind of clamp down on on

175
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: that growth and inflation. So um, so you have to

176
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: be you know, the fit has to be very careful.

177
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: And I think now that we've had kind of these

178
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: three distinct periods over the last thirty years or so

179
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: where that's all happened, maybe they've they've learned their lesson.

180
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: And you know, Richard Clarada is one of those people

181
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: who I think understands us as an economic historian as

182
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: monetary policy person. It's good to have him in that

183
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: vice chair seat. Because he brings that historical perspective that

184
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: maybe a few other folks on the Board of Governors

185
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have to follow up on on a Leasta's comment

186
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: about the four thousand speeches that we're going to have

187
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: to digest, you can add to that tweets from the

188
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: President of the United States having to do with currencies

189
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: and specifically the US dollar. Is that having any effect

190
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: on on the value of the U S Dollar? I

191
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: was noting, for example, stronger at least against the Canadian

192
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: dollar and just a little bit move lower against the

193
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: euro today. Yeah, not not huge moves in in the

194
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: euro from from the tweets. I think, you know, the

195
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: market at some level is um uh. I don't want

196
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: to say getting numb to tweets, but you know they

197
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: they know that that. I think the president only can

198
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: control markets so much and and and it's things like uh,

199
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: fiscal policy that he'll wind up impacting significantly more or

200
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: what he does things in trade policy and the like

201
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: that he can control directly. Um, you know, tweets about

202
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, interest rates and things like that. Given who

203
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: he's he's appointed, probably are going to have a huge effect.

204
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: And you haven't seen huge moves in the end, for example,

205
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: or or the euro today, it's been very modest. Um. Yeah,

206
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: after after some of those tweets, A Jersey thank you

207
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: so much for being with us. Our Jersey chief US

208
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: interest rate strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence. It has over twenty

209
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: four billion dollars in assets. It's the second largest credit

210
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: union in the United States. Pen FED and our and

211
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: the chief executive and the president joins us. Now this

212
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: is the Pentagon Federal Credit Union, James Skank, thanks very

213
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: much for being with us. Based in Alexandria, Virginia. Mr Skank,

214
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: maybe just tell us a little bit about pen FED

215
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: and what you're doing with a new program entitled the

216
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Entrepreneur Investment Program. Great. You know pen FED has been

217
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: serving our community for over eighty three years, and we're

218
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: as a credit union founded on the principle of people

219
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: helping people and as a defense credit union, we think

220
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: it's very important to continue to create jobs across America.

221
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: And each year over two hundred thousand veterans leave the service,

222
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: and about a quarter of them plan to start their

223
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: own business. So pen FED, several years ago has created

224
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: a foundation in which we pay a hundred percent of

225
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: the foundation operating costs, so all the money the foundation

226
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: raises goes back to support our programs. The one we're

227
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: very excited about announcing is a program in which donors

228
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: can donate to the pen Fed Foundation and we're going

229
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: to invest in startup companies. And so this is going

230
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: to be a gift that keeps on given because if

231
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: we can invest in the right startups, help these veterans

232
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: that bring some incredible leadership and technical skills, give them capital,

233
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: and give them a network to succeed, that money will

234
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: come back to the foundation allows to continue to create

235
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: eight jobs and invest in more startup companies. So we're

236
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: pretty excited about this new initiative through the pen Fet Foundation.

237
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: Just to clarify, these are not loans, their gifts correct,

238
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: We actually it'll be these will be loans, this will

239
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: be investments in so in other words, donate correctly seed

240
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: capital okay. So okay, So potentially you'll get the money

241
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: back with dividends, but you're providing it as sensibly at

242
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: a lower rate, that's correct, and bringing an incredible network.

243
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: So pen FET has over business partners, We have relations

244
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: across all fifty states. We think we can identify the

245
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: right veterans and what a veterans need. What all entrepreneurs need.

246
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: They need capital, and they need a powerful network. We

247
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: think bringing these things together can help really create jobs

248
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: across America. James, I want to talk to us generally

249
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: about the idea of a credit union today, at a

250
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: time when credit availability is uh pretty pretty rampant. I mean,

251
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: you can get a loan pretty easily. Why is a

252
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: credit union better, especially when there's a certain sort of

253
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: advantage to having scale and a bank beside you, and

254
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: other sorts of advantages that say Bank of America and

255
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: uh well Struggle might have. It's about corporate structure. Nothing

256
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: wrong with the banking industry, but it's a different structure.

257
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: Of bank. CEO's primary purpose is to return value to

258
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: the shareholder, So they want to pay their depositors, the

259
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: lease charge their commercial loan customers the most, to increase

260
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: their spread margin, provide return to their shareholders. A credit

261
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: union is a whole different corporate structure. The whole reason

262
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: a credit union exists is a service specific field of

263
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: membership and to provide the value back to the consumer. So,

264
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: as a credit union CEO, my job is to pay

265
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: the absolute highest rate fund deposits, for example two oh

266
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: seven on a one year CD right now market leader,

267
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: and the lowest rates on our loans to our member

268
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: owners run at the lowest spread margin possible to give

269
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: the value back to our owners, which is the members.

270
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't have shareholders, I have the members by giving

271
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: them a lower loan rate or higher dividend rate. By structure,

272
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: is a better value for the consumer. But at the

273
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: same time, as the CEO of a large financial institution

274
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: as pen Mention twenty four billion, I have to run

275
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: extremely operationally efficient. The one thing that surprises me here

276
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: in America is that more banks don't want to convert

277
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: to become a credit union to align with the structure

278
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: for the consumer who they're trying to help. Talked a

279
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: little bit about the members that may try to do

280
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: business with you in Puerto Rico and what you're doing there. Yeah,

281
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: we've been in Puerto Rico for over a decade. We

282
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: merged with the Fort Buchanan Federal Credit Union about a

283
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: decade ago. At the time we had just under eighteen

284
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: thousand members. Today we're one of the largest financial institutions

285
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico with two hundred thousand members. They've come

286
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: to Penn FED for trust and commitment. We've been there

287
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: with them through hard times. I've been there twice this year,

288
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: right after the hurricane, and I've been back in early March.

289
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: I bought Gary Sinise back to do a free concert.

290
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: We opened up the military base Fort Buchanan to the

291
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,239
Speaker 1: San Juan community and the Greater Island to one show

292
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: that we appreciate the hardship in the struggle they've been through,

293
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: but at the same time, to continue to raise awareness.

294
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: There's Americans in Puerto Rico that need our help. Just

295
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: like we helped the victims of the storms in Texas, Florida,

296
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: New Jersey. These are fellow Americans that continue to need

297
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: the leadership of the private sector in the public sector

298
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: to help close gaps to bring life back to stability

299
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: and normal. They're still over eighty thousand individuals without power

300
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: six months into it. Can you imagine if a loved

301
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: one that you knew here in the States, you know

302
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: in New York or New Jersey or Connecticut or here

303
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: in Virginia went a week without power. Imagine going six

304
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: months without power and fresh water in your home. It's

305
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: it's Americans need our help, you know, James, I'm struck

306
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: by the idea that pen fed is trying to serve

307
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: a specific group of clients. It's a nonprofit. It's trying

308
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: to be run up by the people. I'm trying to

309
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: square that with making sure that you're you know, fiscally

310
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: responsible and catering to clients at a time when to

311
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: false are starting to up. How how do you sort

312
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: of manage that and what do you see as far

313
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: as the consumer credit landscape goes. Given the fact that

314
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: we are seeing delinquencies and defaults increase, we still see

315
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: amazing demand for our business. The the administration's tax cuts

316
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: have been very bullish. Uh. I think we have historically

317
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: low unemployment right now. We're seeing demand for consumer loans, automobiles,

318
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: our market leading credit card products, and home mortgages above

319
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: the norm. We've grown over forty thousand new members the

320
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: first quarter of eighteen alone, So we're seeing great demand

321
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: for consumer products. But like all CEOs within the finance

322
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: financial services sector, we have to make good loans. We

323
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: need to make full doc loans, we need to make

324
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: sure we know who the consumer is. So we're seeing

325
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: really strong demand for our products and services. We had

326
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: a record year in twenty seventeen. We grew one point

327
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: seven billion. We've grown five dred million in assets the

328
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: first quarter. So the current administration policies, low unemployment, is

329
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: still historically low interest rate cycle. We're seeing great demand

330
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: for consumer lending. Even though we're late in the cycle

331
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: as you would think, we still think there's a few

332
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: years left to run because of a strong demand and

333
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: with these recent tax cuts. Last year, you opened something

334
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: called the Availability Command Center. Tell us what it is

335
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: and why you decided that this was worth your time,

336
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: energy and money. Definitely worth our time, energy and money.

337
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Because we're an online firm. Pen Fed by Design does

338
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: percent of our business remotely, phones, mobile web. Of our

339
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: transactions are done remotely. We do a hundred million transactions

340
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: a month. Our Availability Command Center insures our systems are

341
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: up running twenty four hours a day, seven days a

342
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: week to do real time processing, not batch processing, real

343
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: time processing anywhere in the world. For our customers are

344
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: consumers what we call pen Fed members. With that said,

345
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: we could also from a forensis perspective, we can track

346
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: back any one of a hundred million transactions. Look for trends,

347
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: look for cyber hacked trends. We have really good visibility

348
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: and everything flowing into and out of our network real time.

349
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: So in financial services, like in all industries today, UM

350
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: making the investment and information technology and infrastructure is worth

351
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: every penny. James Kank, thank you so much for joining us.

352
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: James Kink, President, chief executive officer of Pentagon. Federal Credit

353
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: Union is Penn FED, which is based in Alexandria, Virginia,

354
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: talking about a new program for veterans who are opening

355
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: new businesses as well as credit unions. China and the

356
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: automobile industry, it is lifting a nearly twenty year restriction

357
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: on foreign ownership of local jet is Chinese operations. Here

358
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: to tell us more. Kevin Tynan, Senior Auto zanns for

359
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Intelligence, and you can follow Kevin on Twitter at

360
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: keV Tyne and ten And alright, keV Tyne and ten.

361
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: Why is China doing this well? I think they there's

362
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of of the feeling that they want

363
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: to penetrate some markets outside of their own. UH. You know,

364
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: it's been very difficult to get Chinese manufacturers established in

365
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: Europe or in the US. UH. And the feeling is

366
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: that if they open up a little bit more, will

367
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: reciprocate and and get some of their brands in here.

368
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: So let's talk about exactly what China was doing. They

369
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: basically are saying that foreign automakers can own more than

370
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: fifty percent of local venturers. This would remove a two

371
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: decade restriction UH that had prevented some companies, including Tesla,

372
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: from going to China. Is Tesla the biggest potential beneficiary

373
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: of this or can you point to another company that

374
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: might see a bigger boon from this? Well, I think

375
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: from where we are now, he said, that would be

376
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: the idea that Tesla probably is the biggest beneficiary. Right,

377
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: All the other automakers have established partnerships UH that probably

378
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: don't expire for ten years at a minimum. VW and

379
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: f A W probably double that twenty five years. Um,

380
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, and and and and those are gonna those

381
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: are gonna remain in place. So Tesla sort of coming

382
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: in as a new entrant into the market probably can

383
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: establish something, UH in these terms, a little bit more beneficial.

384
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: But I'm just not sure that you really want to

385
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 1: be that involved in the Chinese market without a local partner.

386
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: I think that would be very difficult to do as well.

387
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: So the idea that that Tesla walks in and can

388
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: be independent uh in that marketplace and just gained huge

389
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: amount of market share I think is unrealistic. Well, Kevin,

390
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: can you just give us a sense of what the

391
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: objection to this fifty type of ownership structure is. Well,

392
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: that that's a huge market and there's a lot more

393
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: money to be made and you're basically sharing it with

394
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: your with your venture partners. I've always said, you know,

395
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: and we hear all the time about, you know, the

396
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: largest automotive market in the world. But when you look

397
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: back at at you know, General Motors income statement, Um,

398
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, the the revenue contribution that is brought back

399
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: into the income statement is just it's it's pennies on

400
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: the dollar compared to what they generate here in North America.

401
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: So it's really a volume story there. It always has

402
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: been a volume story there, but it's not really a

403
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: profit story, or it hasn't been as large a profit story.

404
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: And this sort of opens it up where you can

405
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: bring back a lot more of those earnings than you

406
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: had been able to previously. Kevin, is this going to

407
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: relate in any way to Chinese automobile companies looking to

408
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: get into the US market. I would I would think so.

409
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: I think there's other hurdles there as well, in terms

410
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: of UM regulation, safety compliance kind of things. UM, But

411
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: but I would I would tend to think that that

412
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: would be the goal here. Um when you look at

413
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: the size of the Chinese market and then the size

414
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: of Europe or or even North America, and you have

415
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: to wonder, what you know that that Chinese market continues

416
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: to growing year after year after year, UM, what the

417
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: interest would be? And I don't think that the Chinese

418
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: government would really be doing something uh detrimental to their

419
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: own companies at the expense of being beneficial for for

420
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: their uh Western partners, just for the sake of letting

421
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: them make more money. Kevin, how much of this comes

422
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: in response to President Trump? Uh? Some of it for sure. UM,

423
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: but it's been it's been talked about for probably five years. Uh,

424
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: so this this predates him, for sure. Maybe the the

425
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: rhetoric intensifies, uh since he's been in place. But this

426
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: is not a new concept or or something that's been

427
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: that's been tried to push forward. Uh, it's at least

428
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: five years. Kevin you're at the You're You're a consumer

429
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Electronics show? Yeah, I was there, Yeah, Yeah. Why did

430
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: you find there that that applies to the automobile industry?

431
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: Is it really all about trying to automate everything that

432
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: goes on in the cabin? It is. But what I thought,

433
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: and I was there with Michael Dean, our European analysts,

434
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: and what really surprised me is is that there is

435
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot of that, But how far away we really are? Um,

436
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, this idea that we're going to be level

437
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: five full self driving anytime soon. Um, especially for the consumer,

438
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: for you know, your everyday passenger vehicle, is I think

439
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: much further away than people realize. Kevin Tynan, thank you
